Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 81

Return to the table of contents

8001

In all my joys and sorrows
I see the Compassion-Eye
Of my Beloved Supreme.

8002

If you sincerely and desperately
Need God,
Then God will send
His private Satisfaction-Plane
To fly you to Heaven.

8003

O my blind mind,
Do learn the art of hiding.
Try, you will succeed!

8004

God does not mind
When you speak ill of Him.
Therefore, why do you waste
Your precious time?

8005

I have received
A last warning from God.
He is not going to wait for me
Any more.

8006

The blind world
Wants to enjoy
The chaotic dance
Of destruction-war.

8007

Responsibility itself
Is a rich reward
From Heaven.

8008

If the pilot
Does not value the goal,
Then how can the passengers
Value the goal?

8009

God the Justice
Has a Teacher:
God the Compassion.

8010

Love your goal!
Automatically
You will make progress.

8011

God’s Diary
Is full of seekers’
Heart-to-heart conversations
With God.

8012

Man’s depression
Challenges God’s Compassion
Every day.

8013

I cannot satisfy myself,
My Lord.
Do You think You can accomplish
This impossible task
For me?

8014

Although you are quite honest,
You enjoy
Dishonest gossip-surges.

8015

Every night
He derives tremendous pleasure
From his dream-indulgences.

8016

O vital world,
My soul can brave you,
With your blazing fire.

8017

An unconditional surrender
Is the safest and quickest path
That leads to God.

8018

My sweet Lord,
I am not living
But only remembering
All the joys
That You have given to me.

8019

The courage that aspires
Is life’s
Matchless friend.

8020

Today
I shall challenge the bounds
Of my mind’s teeming thoughts.

8021

A God-lover enjoys
The silver silence
Of the fathomless sun.

8022

His is the capacity
That finds
Even before it starts searching.

8023

Inside my God-searching mind
The visits of thoughts
Are prohibited.

8024

Every day
His heart suffers
From the sudden approaches
Of uncertain hopes.

8025

Everything else
Has left him
Except his mind’s
Unlit thoughts.

8026

Each desire-life
Is a life
Of a million despairs.

8027

His silver thoughts
Are mountains
Of climbing flames.

8028

My imagination can house
The Omnipresence-Eye
Of God.

8029

Complete the cosmic game
You began.
There is an unspeakable joy
In completion.

8030

Unconsciously I play
With ignorance-night,
But consciously I dance
With wisdom-sun.

8031

The mind abruptly
Begins.
It deliberately forgets
To complete.

8032

Darkness
He compassionately accepts.
Light
He unconditionally offers.

8033

He does the impossible!
He turns doubt-trees
Into faith-plants.

8034

He is his life’s
Everest-promise
To God.

8035

You have not yet reached
The evening of your life.
Why do you want to settle
Your earth-bills now?

8036

The human mind
Does not go anywhere alone.
It carries with it
Deception-knife!

8037

Even if you do not have
The aspiration-ticket,
God does not mind.
Just enter
Into His life-transforming
Express Train!

8038

Nothing unimportant,
Nothing insignificant.
So says the Supreme Pilot
Of man’s heart-boat.

8039

Never permit
Your heart’s streaming tears
To evaporate.
Never!

8040

When will your stupid mind’s
Total eclipse
Be over?
When?

8041

At every moment he grows
Into his heart’s
Olympian hopes.

8042

Blessingfully and compassionately,
God gives everything
To a patience-life.

8043

What your doubting mind
Needs
Is my Lord’s
Thunder-Feet.

8044

Every day
His soul discovers
New beauties of the Unknowable.

8045

My heart is all pride
In your ever-transcending
Self-transcendence.

8046

Your enjoyment of liberty
In your outer life
Is most dangerous.

8047

His heart is pining
To draw
A soulful and peaceful
Last breath.

8048

Time comes and goes,
But can you not
Live with me forever,
My aspiration-heart?

8049

The eye of compassion
And
The heart of ecstasy
Live together.

8050

Today
My mind has a new message
For my Lord Supreme:
“I shall believe in You.”

8051

The heart enslaves itself
For the perfection-preparation
Of the mind.

8052

The songs
Of my tomorrow’s heart
Are melting
My today’s mind.

8053

Only a purity-heart
Can adore
Divinity’s immortal Songs.

8054

My mind
Does not care to know
Whether my heart
Is a God-lover
Or a self-lover.

8055

A heart
Filled with delight
Is his life’s
Legitimate claim.

8056

What the heart attains
With utmost difficulty
The mind loses
In no time.

8057

At death’s gate,
A new life came
And embraced him.

8058

My mind has not forgotten the path,
But the path
Wants nothing to do with
My long-cherished ignorance-mind.

8059

My heart does not know
How to smile.
God’s Eye does not know
How to cry.
We are even.

8060

Behind my hidden tears
God is preparing Himself
For a new dawn.

8061

To stand face to face
With God,
What you consciously need
Is your soul’s
Universal oneness-life.

8062

If you think golden thoughts,
You are bound to see
Purity’s perfection-garden
Inside your heart.

8063

O my aspiration-heart,
You have made my life
An ever-transcending surprise.

8064

The seeker’s
Gratitude-heart-nest
Is his perfection-readiness
For God.

8065

If you are
Your indomitable fear of death,
How can you pierce
Your ignorance-blanket?

8066

My Lord,
Do teach me only one thing:
How to love the world
The way You love me.

8067

His life
Is no longer marred
By impurity’s giant touch.

8068

No more am I
A muddled mind.
I am now my heart’s
Clarity-eye.

8069

Every day
My Lord forbids me
To sing my life’s
Failure-songs.

8070

True, with all your imperfections
God loves you.
But how can you dare
To love yourself?

8071

God hates to answer
Humanity’s
Depression-phone calls.

8072

If you think
That you are perfect,
Then that kind of perfection
Is something the poor world
Will never need.

8073

Although his mind is wanting
In illumination,
He permits not ignorance-hippopotamus
To stay in it.

8074

Since you are not totally blind
In your inner life,
Why can you not see
That you are wallowing
In your vital-morass?

8075

Never say yes
To doubt’s
Impurity-breath.

8076

Speed up the journey
Of your heart’s aspiration-life.
Endless feasts
Are awaiting its arrival.

8077

A doubtful inner runner
Quite often shakes hands
With his failure-life.

8078

A God-lover never thinks
That his Beloved Supreme
Is his Lord Sovereign.

8079

The desire life
Is forced to suffer from
The supremacy of fears
And weaknesses.

8080

Remain with
Wisdom-illumination-friend.
Do not return to
Ignorance-darkness-foe.

8081

Often
Hope-dream-seeds
Grow into
Reality’s frustration-fruits.

8082

The mind
Quite easily deserts us.
But for us to desert the mind
Is not an easy task.

8083

You think
You are the only one
To be tired of this world.
You do not know
That everybody tells the same story.

8084

To conquer doubt
Is to capture
A ferocious tiger’s
Devouring mouth.

8085

Every day
Heaven orders a sample
Of humanity’s pure sweetness.

8086

Nothing is important,
Therefore
Nothing is needed,
Says the stupid,
Indulgent man.

8087

The aspiration-heart
Began.
The dedication-life
Has to complete.

8088

The fruitlessness-yoke of time
Cannot be appreciated.
The heaviness-yoke of time
Cannot be lifted.

8089

The breath of hope
Lives on
The Satisfaction-Smile
Of God.

8090

Only the inner breath
Of aspiration-fire
Can save and illumine
The body of your outer life.

8091

Because you have surrendered
To the insecurity-life,
Your heart’s sweetness
Is all gone.

8092

The beauty
Of his selfless life
Dances
In his soulful eyes.

8093

God does not want to know
What I think of Him.
He just wants to see
What I have done
For His creation.

8094

My mind wants me
To be great.
My heart wants me
To be good.
And I want to be
God’s God-loving and God-pleasing
Slave.

8095

Silence
Touches the purity-breath
Of my new life’s dawn.

8096

Because he allowed his vital
To live
In the company of pride-prince,
His soul’s lofty promise-towers
Are now lying
In the dust.

8097

His heart longs
Only for the satisfaction
Of the Unknowable.

8098

The power of renunciation-light
Has given me the capacity
To give up my hunger
For world-possession.

8099

His doubting mind
May accept defeat,
But his aspiring heart
Never accepts defeat.

8100

Enjoy, enjoy
The inner thirst
That forever remains
Unquenched.
