Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 84

Return to the table of contents

8301

Only the smiling silence-life
Can bring down the Absolute Supreme
In His Transcendence-Delight.

8302

Your heart has the capacity
To understand
God’s inexplicable
Message-Light.

8303

Alas,
You are not seeking
The Light of the Beyond,
Which is solely meant for you.

8304

My soul is extremely proud
Of reading my heart’s
Surrender-book.

8305

Fear and doubt
Are never permitted
To play
Inside the liberated life.

8306

If you want satisfaction,
Then cancel your daily appointment
With the desire-prince.

8307

Just because God wants it,
Goodness will, without fail,
Be broadcast on God’s Radio.

8308

In a purity-heart
Only God’s Silence-Sound
Is most powerfully heard.

8309

Look for
God’s Compassion-Feet.
Pride will not be able
To entrap you.

8310

With the blossoming
Of your life’s aspiration-plant,
Your life’s desire-tree
Will automatically decay.

8311

With the heart
Of confidence
Comes the life
Of patience-surrender.

8312

To get a satisfaction-trophy
From God,
He offered God
His perfection-life.

8313

God does not want you
To prove to Him
What you have.
He wants you
To prove to Him
What He means to you.

8314

In the heart of His Vision
And
In the life of His Manifestation
Every day
God and His Power play together.

8315

Who can live on earth
Without feeding his heart’s
Hope-hunger?

8316

The sad memories
Of the past
Are infinitely worse
Than mad elephants.

8317

I went to God
For consolation.
He gave me
Illumination instead.

8318

My desire-night
Has finally
Plus cheerfully
Surrendered to my aspiration-day.

8319

The height of devotion
Can never be reached
By destruction’s arms.

8320

If you cannot understand
God’s Language,
Then ask your heart to interpret.
It will do its task
To God’s Satisfaction.

8321

His surrendered life
Does not know
What despair-tears are.

8322

A heart of silence
Will never stand in the way
Of God’s cosmic
Operation-Light.

8323

God’s Beauty becomes your beauty
When your life dances
On the grave of your desire-mind.

8324

God not only leads me to
But also shows me
My future God-throne.

8325

Your heart’s silence-peace
Will not permit you
To lie to God.

8326

If you want to save
Your earth-life
From ignorance,
Then prove
Your sleepless friendship
With silence.

8327

Do not allow
Your vital-horse to tempt you
To go out of your heart-garden!

8328

God is extremely pleased with him
Because he is his life’s
Simplicity-mind.

8329

What I need to know
Is if God will ever
Be pleased with me.

8330

You have not done your duty well
On earth!
How can you ask for a position
In Heaven?

8331

To be a member
Of God’s Heart-Club,
You must not be found travelling
On desire-train.

8332

Life’s complete dedication
Means a giant step
Towards perfection.

8333

God’s inner Thunder
Has awakened your mind.
Don’t go to sleep any more!

8334

God is not at all proud
Of your mind’s
Proud renunciation.

8335

Power is meant
For greatness.
Peace is meant
For goodness.

8336

Your mind’s wild laughter
Must surrender
To your heart’s sweet smile.

8337

Inspiration
Comes from the known.
Aspiration
Comes from the unknown.
Realisation
Comes from the Unknowable.

8338

Be careful
Of your vital emotion
And your mental frustration.
Both of them are expert thieves!

8339

God’s Compassion
Will always try to protect
Your soulful self-confidence.

8340

Increase your love of God
Daily.
Then only
No disaster will befall you.

8341

Tell me a new story!
Your desire-life story
Is an extremely old story.
Do I get any joy from it?

8342

I cannot separate you
From your vital’s endless chain
Of bitter complaints.

8343

Your mind is blocking
Your heart’s Heavenward journey
With the help of the depression
Of your vital.

8344

The sweetness of your heart
Is the most precious Wealth
Of God.

8345

Inside his heart’s
Endless cry
Abides Infinity’s
Breathless Smile.

8346

The vital knows
How to inflict pain.
The mind knows
How to resist light.

8347

Even as a beginner
He has excelled
In life’s wisdom-swimming race.

8348

Neither Heaven nor earth
Will give you any prize
For your doubting.
Therefore
Why do you indulge in doubt?

8349

To climb up
Your Himalayan mountain-problems,
Give up
Once and for all
Your unwillingness to accept God’s Will.

8350

You want to know
What God does
On His day off.
On His day off
He spends all His time
Forgiving you.

8351

God and His Compassion-Eye
Are waiting
For your safe return home
To your soul-beauty’s land.

8352

Your mind
Is an outer conqueror
And your heart
Is an inner beggar.

8353

Your heart’s silence-life only
Can hear
God’s Diamond-Footsteps.

8354

My songs come from
My heart’s purity-cry
And my soul’s devotion-smile.

8355

I tell you,
Your soul will not allow you
To exploit your heart
All the time.

8356

His heart belongs
To the world of gratitude.
His life belongs
To the world of surrender.

8357

I am glad
That at long last
You have made your heart
The general manager of your life.

8358

Your heart’s aspiration
Does not have to follow
Your destiny.
It is your destiny
That has to follow
Your heart’s aspiration.

8359

A heart of surrender
Can demolish
All inner and outer barriers.

8360

You have forgotten
Your promise to God,
But God has never forgotten
And will never forget
His Promise to you.

8361

Every day
You must help your mind
To escape jealousy-volcano.

8362

If you are not prepared
For a purity-life,
How can you expect
Divinity’s Smile?

8363

Your impurity-thoughts
Must always be kept
Under lock and key.

8364

If you are possessed
By God,
You will be claimed
By man.

8365

Your mind’s
Unparalleled beauty
Lies in silence-song.

8366

If you want to be
A chosen instrument of God,
You must attend
The surrender-course
Given by God.

8367

Every day
Fly with your heart’s aspiration
At the highest altitude.

8368

To me,
God the Justice
Will always remain
An unfamiliar God.

8369

Every day you must do
Your meditation-homework
If you want to satisfy
Your Inner Teacher-Pilot
In His own Way.

8370

You and your vagabond-life
Will never arrive
At your soul’s God-flooded palace.

8371

You thought ignorance-night
Was going to last forever.
Behold,
It has completely disappeared!

8372

He is fond
Of only one thing:
His heart’s peaceful
Silence-song.

8373

In God’s Compassion-Eye
Every seeker is first.
There is no second.
There is no third.

8374

One message
You must offer to God
Every day:
“I wish to have a life
Of unconditional surrender.”

8375

To have a life
Visited by morality’s feeble sight
Was not even
His remotest dream.

8376

Your dark thoughts
Have the instant power
To poison
Your pure heart.

8377

Every day
God reminds me
Of my Eternity’s childhood.

8378

It is high time for you
To say a permanent good-bye
To your failure-life.

8379

God’s Compassion
Is deeply attached
To your child-heart’s aspiration.

8380

Your mind will sink
Deeper and deeper
Into ignorance-sea
If your heart does not long
For God’s Forgiveness-Light
For your mind.

8381

Confidence is the capacity
That reveals reality
Without any difficulty.

8382

The remembrance
Of divine experiences
And obliteration
Of undivine experiences
Are both God’s choice Gifts
To man.

8383

May the cry
Of my aspiration-heart
Be the constant companion
Of my illumination-soul.

8384

Never allow
Doubt the thief
To enter into
Your heart’s aspiration-room!

8385

Remain always satisfied
With your eternally old
And eternally new job:
Spirituality.

8386

Impurity
Governs his mind.
Insecurity
Governs his heart.
Uncertainty
Governs his life.

8387

I admire
Your unclouded eyes.
I love
Your revealed heart.

8388

Although
Insecurity is a tiny insect,
When it bites
It hurts unimaginably.

8389

Death does not dare
To ask him
When he will be ready
To accept death’s invitation.

8390

Even the obscurity of his mind
Clings to
The purity of his heart.

8391

Infinity’s Smile
Does not like
Humanity’s eternal despair.

8392

God is extremely pleased with you
Only for one reason:
Every morning and every evening
You synchronise your life-watch
With the Compassion-Watch
Of God’s Heart.

8393

True,
You are a liberated soul.
But you cannot be
So indifferent
To the sufferings
Of earth-bound time.

8394

The heart’s happiness
Lifts man
To God’s higher Realms.

8395

Heaven’s satisfaction
And
Earth’s frustration
Do not care for each other.

8396

Alas,
My mind has forced me
To lose my existence-life
Inside the chasm
Of deathless darkness.

8397

God has granted you
The highest satisfaction-diploma
From His inner School
Because every day you sing
A new soulful surrender-song
To Him
To please Him in His own Way.

8398

Because you are not
A true truth-seeker
And true God-lover,
Every day you indulge in complaints —
Complaints against human beings,
And even against God!

8399

Instead of dreaming
Your dead dreams,
Try to dream
Of new realities.

8400

Become the soulful cry
Of your aspiration-heart
To manifest the Smile
Of your Beloved Supreme
On earth.
