Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 82

Return to the table of contents

8101

Every day
My faith-heart
Brings into my life
A new message
From the Beyond.

8102

The human heart
Has completely forgotten
Its origin:
The universal oneness-life.

8103

A choice instrument
Is but one
Among the innumerable
Chosen by God.

8104

Every day
His heart dons a new robe
Of aspiration
To please his Beloved Supreme.

8105

If you do not throw cold water
On your aspiration-heart,
You will never become old.

8106

To silence enthusiasm
At any time
Is absolutely wrong.

8107

Because yours
Is a God-inspired life,
You can love big and small
Equally.

8108

“I do not need you.”
A song that nobody
Wants to hear!

8109

His self-giving face
Is his ego’s
Secret frown.

8110

If your heart wants to land
On the shore of delight,
Then your mind must say good-bye
To the shore of thought.

8111

Every day
A God-lover can enjoy
The gratitude-fragrance
Of his calm meditation.

8112

Love only
The divine in yourself.
You will be able to snap
Your attachment-links.

8113

O silence-moon,
I need your beauty’s heart
And your purity’s eye.

8114

The mind’s willingness
Is the beginning
Of the heart’s fulness.

8115

Your mind needs punctuality
In your heart’s
Regularity-life.

8116

Alas,
My eyes are tortured
By both ancient and modern fears.

8117

All hidden gates
Shall be unlocked.
Just soulfully await the arrival
Of your Beloved Supreme.

8118

In your heart’s
Tranquillity-recesses,
God will ring
His Victory-Bell.

8119

The timeless Will
Embraces orphan-thoughts
For their complete transformation.

8120

The strength of self-transcendence
Comes from the heart’s
Silver faith.

8121

Each human incarnation
Is the continuation
Of God’s unfinished Story.

8122

The heart’s silver questions
Shall meet with
The soul’s golden answers.

8123

Every day earth sinks down
With sadness-weight.
God knows it.
Man does not.

8124

Never allow anyone
To clip the silver wings
Of your golden dreams.

8125

Happiness was born
When I clearly told my mind
That the world does not need it.

8126

His heart helps my heart
Freely,
Plus ceaselessly
And unconditionally.

8127

Unattainable realms
I shall reach
By virtue of
My lovable heart.

8128

In your simple heart
My complication-mind
Wants to sleep.

8129

You live in the shadow
Of your doubt-mountain,
Yet you expect from God
His Infinity’s Heart-Delight.

8130

His Heart’s Compassion deep
I squander,
Yet, alas, I feel
No remorse.

8131

On the mountain peaks of ecstasy
Climb up
Before the ignorance-titan
Catches you to strangle you.

8132

To fill your heart
With magic-delight:
This has to be
Your newly born longing.

8133

Clasping the length and breadth
Of the universe,
He remembers his oneness
And fulness-promises.

8134

In the calm heart of vastness-sky
Will my heart ever be stationed?
Will I ever be so fortunate?

8135

The Starter of all things
Is fond of both the winner
And the loser.

8136

Drink deep the soul’s delight
And your heart will be
God’s choice Home.

8137

Dancing in the heart
Of the Unknowable,
He came down to share
Humanity’s throes.

8138

Each God-loving soul
Is destined to be
An ocean of self-giving life.

8139

You must have measured
The untold difficulties
Long before you longed for
Your nature’s transformation.

8140

This stupendously blind world
Never puts an end
To its wild journey.

8141

Without You,
Who can breathe?
With You,
Who can even imagine failure?

8142

Look up, look up!
His Cry is in you.
His Smile is for you.

8143

His inner light revealed
His outer life’s
Sincere self-giving.

8144

I offer my smile to him
Who thinks my soul has something
For God
And my life has something
For man.

8145

The world will frown
At your pride.
You will be found
In oblivion’s hush.

8146

Your heart
Is like a blossoming tree.
Therefore
I come to you
For your blessing-smile.

8147

To close your heart’s
Morning eye
Is to reach folly’s
Goalless heights.

8148

The unchallenged secret
Will surrender
To the heart’s sleepless cry.

8149

What is your secret?
Why is earth
So proud of you?
Why is Heaven
So fond of you?

8150

Keep your pride
For yourself,
Since nobody
Has any use for it.

8151

Here cries
The unborn hope.
There cries
The unfulfilled promise.

8152

Life’s play
Is not monstrous.
Just try to play
More carefully
And more soulfully.

8153

In him is the beauty
Of God’s
Ever-changing Reality-Forms.

8154

He walks along the way
Of self-preparation
And God-manifestation.

8155

How can you get anything
From God
When you have given nothing
To His choice child,
Creation?

8156

I do not expect thanks,
I do not even expect any comment,
But I do expect
A world of silence
When I sing God-songs.

8157

All have come
One by one
To tell me
That God wants to see me
As another God.

8158

I was invited
To sing the song
Of the Unknowable,
And I am enjoying doing it.

8159

Because your life
Is secure,
God wants you to advance
Fast, very fast.

8160

My aspiration-heart
Is exceedingly and permanently happy
In your oneness-song.

8161

Life’s errors do not know
That they can be
At times
Unforgivable.

8162

He who salutes death-king
Is not liked by death
For more than a short time.

8163

The blue-gold smiles
Of Heaven
I dare to imagine
Every day.

8164

To greet the rising sun-god
What you need
Is a heart of orphan-cry.

8165

The sadness of the night
Will definitely be blessed
By the gladness of the day.

8166

Death’s thunder-eye
Is a thing to be challenged
And conquered.

8167

Tomorrow
When I am gone
The world will blame me
For the things
I have never dreamt of doing.

8168

A doubting mind
Fails to sing
God’s God-Song of Joy
With the heart.

8169

It is never too late
In your God-discovery
To recharge the battery
Of your aspiration.

8170

Confidence-plants grow
To show the world
The capacity
Of the higher worlds.

8171

The mind’s hustle and bustle-life
Even disappoints
God the All-Knower.

8172

Because of your
Impurity-mind,
Even your heart is stained
With ingratitude-mud and clay.

8173

Delete from your conscious
And unconscious memory
The pangs of your past
Failure-life.

8174

The soulfulness
In his heart
Is the fulness
Of his life.

8175

Today you are a sleeper.
Tomorrow
You will not only be
Awakened,
But an earth-awakener.

8176

Run not after miracles!
All miracles
Are shockingly fragile.

8177

Darkness-mouths
Desire to devour
The hearts of light.

8178

The human mind
Is apt to be armed
With illusions and delusions.

8179

He who does not
Consciously aspire
Lives in the empire
Of nothingness.

8180

It is not uncommon
For the desire-mind
To be entangled
In the meshes of ignorance-night.

8181

Shake off,
Shake off the fetters
Of the seven lower worlds!

8182

God will not allow your mind
To destroy
The beauty of your heart’s
Vision-eye.

8183

Let your entire being know
The beauty and divinity
Of aspiration-flames.

8184

A seeker
Can every day enjoy
Clear views
Of golden horizons.

8185

Do you not see
That your ignorance-life
Is costing you enormously?

8186

O my vital,
Why do you want
A life of fiery competition?

8187

Death is not
And can never be
Life’s final examination!

8188

Self-dedication
Is the quickest way
To release oneself
From old habits.

8189

O my mind,
Every day try to swim
In the heart of God’s
Compassion-Sea.

8190

With his soul
His heart is ready to sail
To the shores
Of the Unknowable.

8191

A tiny teardrop
Is destined to make friends
With the mighty Delight-Oceans.

8192

Your restless ignorance-mind
Does not know
That your heart daily swims
In the sea of tranquillity.

8193

To fight
Against ignorance-prince
Is not such a difficult thing.

8194

Every morning
God joins him
In his self-transcendent
Trance-dance.

8195

Be faithful,
Be powerful,
And then destroy
Your mind’s giant doubt-trees!

8196

Each detachment-plant
Grows into
An enlightenment-tree.

8197

Your heart’s penury
Was not decreed
By God’s all-loving Heart.

8198

Life is a constant battle
Because
God wants us to be
Supreme heroes.

8199

The energy of doubt
Proves to be
Long enduring.

8200

The first smile
That blossomed on earth
Showed God
That He was perfect.
