Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 80

7901

I have many things
To tell God,
But He has only one thing
To tell me:
He loves me unconditionally.

7902

Smile at the world,
Smile,
If you want to reach Heaven
Peacefully.

7903

Morning prays to God
For the universal beauty.
Evening prays to God
For the transcendental peace.

7904

Do not sleep.
Be careful!
Man is coming
To knock at your mind’s door.

Do not sleep.
Be ready!
God is coming
To knock at your heart’s door.

7905

When you sing,
God attentively listens.
But when God dances,
Where do you go?
Why are you not available?

7906

You are lost
Between
Your deceptive mind
And your receptive heart.

7907

Sleep,
If you want to be
At God’s Feet.

Wake up,
If you want to be
In God’s Heart.

7908

O my mind’s unreality,
You are the stark frustration
Of my heart.

7909

One solemn oath:
I shall go
Far beyond
The domain of expectation!

7910

No crowding thoughts
Inside your mind.
That means
A crowning life
Inside your heart.

7911

Purity
Is of paramount importance
To climb
Earth’s Heavenward ladder.

7912

May the breath
Of spirituality
Become my life’s
Only strength.

7913

Stay wherever you are
Soulfully.
God’s Silence-Voice
Will illumine you.

7914

To me,
My hope-life
Is not only sweet
But also perfect.

7915

God just wants me
To promise.
He will take on the task
Of fulfilment.

7916

My heart’s beauty
Tells me
That my mind’s sincerity
Is its best friend.

7917

Ignorance-king,
You may continue loving me,
But my love is only for
My heart’s Emperor supreme.

7918

God does not expect you
To tell Him anything.
He only expects you
To learn and obey.

7919

God’s Vision
And His Compassion
Are Eternity’s Twins.

7920

Although your mind knows,
Your mind does not believe
That suspicion is destruction.

7921

The mind’s meanness-drop
Will never be able to enter into
The heart’s fulness-sea.

7922

No,
Never will an impurity-breath
Know
Divinity’s measureless length!

7923

I am useless
Not because
I have no capacity,
But because
I cherish my incapacity.

7924

God’s Justice-Light
May not spend Eternity with me,
But His Compassion-Eye will.

7925

You have spoken ill
Of the world.
Now you must gladden the world
With your self-giving life
As your compensation.

7926

Your purity-heart
Will try to perfect you
In the battlefield of life.

7927

Fear,
I never told you
That you are my Lord Sovereign,
Never!

7928

A true God-lover
Is the overcomer
Of his mind’s teeming doubts.

7929

I need the smile
Of a hope-life
That enjoys perennial youth.

7930

An unpardonable temptation:
To manifest God
Without being God-commissioned.

7931

You are your mind’s
Compound fracture-faith.
Therefore, you are lost
In the desert of despair.

7932

God does not tell me
Who I am,
But I do know
Who I am:
I am God’s changeless Hope.

7933

You can manifest God.
Your heart
Can easily do it for you.

7934

A purity-heart is
The overwhelming love
For God.

7935

Do you remember
That once upon a time
You used to listen to God
Sleeplessly and breathlessly?

7936

A life
Without a God-hunger
Is indeed
A desire-furnace.

7937

My Lord,
I have a very special message for You:
I shall make my mind see
That You are indispensable.

7938

How can I
Or why should I
Defend you, O mind,
When you offend me
So often?

7939

Each doubting mind
Knows
What the inner war is.

7940

My Lord,
You may not fulfil my desires,
But You can at least
Talk to me for a while.

7941

Who can ever prove
To me
That he is not needed
By God?

7942

Power-seekers
Are not allowed
To serve the Lord Supreme.

7943

If your heart’s aspiration
Cannot bring God closer,
Then the next best thing will be
For you to raise your life to God.

7944

Oneness-love
Lives in a country
Where everything
Is duty-free.

7945

Two little difficulties
Have to be surmounted:
I shall have to realise God;
I shall have to manifest God
Unconditionally.

7946

A mind
Freed from suspicion-night
Can have the capacity
To lengthen the seeker’s life line.

7947

I will not ask God
To leave me!
Why do you ask me
To perform that absurd miracle?

7948

To perfect yourself,
Sing with your heart
And dance with your breath.

7949

My heart,
Your failures are mine
Because
You love me.

7950

A life of transformation
Is for all.
Even your doubting mind
Is not doomed to die.

7951

He lives
Inside the fragments
Of his completely lost
God-dreams.

7952

The human mind is aimless.
Therefore, it thinks
Everything in the world
Is uncertain.

7953

It is not surprising
That the mind’s unwillingness
And the heart’s willingness
Always fight.

7954

His hope-smile
Is imprisoned
In his being’s core.

7955

God does not want
Your earth-life
To drown in nothingness.

7956

Why have you allowed
Your mind
To turn into
A tiny ant-thought?

7957

Unwept tears
Have unfathomable
Strength.

7958

Each heart is destined
To reach
Perfection-heights.

7959

Your mind speaks ill
Of God.
Your own heart
Is the witness-eye.

7960

God does not see
Eye-to-eye with me
When I say my perfection-pursuit
Is a hopeless case.

7961

If you are aimless,
You will live in the dust
Of your futile future-life.

7962

God created peace
For my appreciation
And my possession.

7963

God cherishes you.
He will not allow your life
To perish
Like a fleeting thought!

7964

Both memories of sadness
And memories of gladness
Want to appear again
And enjoy life again.

7965

The Breath of the Supreme
Is a veritable tapestry
Of Silence-Delight.

7966

It is enough for you to know
Who God is.
You do not have to know
Where God is.

7967

Absolute honesty
Is absolutely needed
To transform your desire-night
Into aspiration-day.

7968

I have known all along
That your mind will sooner or later
Prove to be
Your life’s frustration-sigh!

7969

Now that you have opened
Your mind’s closed door,
Many more doors
You will be able to open
To invite God
And His Compassion-Heart.

7970

My soulful satisfaction was restored
The moment I declared:
“I love and need God,
Only God.”

7971

Christianity
Can never fail.
It is only the fanatic Christ-seeker
Who will fail.

7972

O aspiration-world,
Choose me.
I shall prove to you
That I am not a wrong choice.

7973

Pray,
So that you
Can tell God
What you have been doing.

Meditate,
So that God
Can effectively tell you
What you are supposed to do.

7974

You have been asked
By your mind
Not to follow your heart.
Now pray to your illumination-soul
To silence your mind.

7975

My mind does not know
Where it is going.
My heart does not know
Why it is crying.
My life does not know
Why it is failing.
But I do know
What I am doing.
I am doing what I am inspired to do
From within.

7976

Jealousy and ecstasy:
They never look
At each other’s face.

7977

My mind,
Is there anybody on earth
Who can fail me
More often than you?
No, never!

7978

God has completed His Task:
He has made me
His Vision-Smile.
Alas, my task
I have not yet begun:
I have not become
My aspiration-cry.

7979

Because you have
Miserably failed,
God’s Compassion for you
Is in rapid increase.

7980

What is insincerity
If not man’s
Weakness-incapacity?

7981

Why should the Lord Supreme
Love me
When I myself do not care
For His Love?

7982

There is always a great joy
In looking for
Your lost aspiration-cry.

7983

I must not make friends
With my mind
If I want to appreciate
And admire
The fragrance-beauty
Of my heart.

7984

The transformation of this world
Is meant for
His heart’s aspiration-cry.

7985

You must learn
How to swim
In the river of world-aspiration
And world-perfection.

7986

God asks you
Only for one favour:
Not to try to remember
Your past failure-life.

7987

Be not
An unwilling mind
Which foolishly thinks
That everything is useless.

7988

His heart’s soulful songs
Are God’s
Beautifully flying birds
In His eternally unhorizoned Sky.

7989

If your goal
Has no time limit,
Then to me
It is not a goal.

7990

God is more than ready
To hide
The world’s untold calamities.
It is man who uncovers them
All the time.

7991

Any aspiration-key
Can open
God’s Satisfaction-Heart-Door.

7992

Humanity’s soulful cry
Is for
A fruitfully illumining
Destination.

7993

The purity
Of the aspiration-heart
Always follows
The upward way.

7994

I still think
That God loves me.
God still thinks
That I need Him.

7995

Satisfaction is to enjoy
A perfect consciousness-seat
In God’s Compassion-Heart.

7996

My ignorance-mind
Does not need God.
But God’s Compassion-Heart
Tells me that
It does need me.

7997

God is never going to tell you
How much He loves you.
It is unquestionably up to you
To feel it.

7998

Always
A oneness-heart
Lightens the heavy load
Of human life.

7999

In my aspiration-room
The desire-life-fire
Is not permitted.

8000

Climb, climb, climb!
Do you not see
That every day
God is accompanying
Your heart’s climbing cry?
