Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 149

14801

```

One day I shall see God.

This hope is nothing other than

A Rainbow-Smile from God Himself.

```

14802

```

The human mind

Is always slow to awaken

To God’s earth-manifestation-Need.

```

14803

```

If God’s Satisfaction

Is not for God’s sake,

Then we shall never be worthy

Of our divinity’s loftiest height. ```

14804

```

God does not mind

If we limit Him.

God does not mind

If we criticise Him.

But He does mind

When we limit our own capacities

And indulge in self-criticism.

```

14805

```

To deliberately criticise

Another individual

May cause an indelible stain

On the critic. ```

14806

```

Is man in search of

A new self-discovery

Or a new self-interest?

```

14807

```

Do not underestimate

At any moment

Your heart’s God-commitment-capacities.

```

14808

```

When I look at him,

I immediately see

That he is nothing other than

A sheltering shield

Of humility-light.

```

14809

```

God does not want you

To suffer from thought-starvation.

He only wants you

To have thought-illumination. ```

14810

```

Since you have infinite capacity

To surprise the world in many ways,

Can you not surprise the world

Just by saying that you will

Never, never find fault with the world?

```

14811

```

Each time I do not fulfil

An inner promise of my heart,

I feel that my mind and vital

Are two completely smashed wings

Of my soul-bird.

```

14812

```

Who can be against me

When I take shelter

At God’s adamantine Feet?

Not even the world’s

Strongest and darkest foe!

```

14813

```

If God-invocation is in your heart,

Then you will never be doomed

To life-isolation.

```

14814

```

A heart of humility

Has always something special

To offer,

Anywhere in the world. ```

14815

```

The mind-education tells us

World-knowledge can be acquired.

The heart-education tells us

God-Wisdom can be inherited. ```

14816

```

The body does not possess the soul.

The soul not only possesses the body,

But also perfects, illumines and fulfils

The body. ```

14817

```

Alas,

The fate of human beings is deplorable!

Even when a human being has enough,

He feels the supreme necessity of more. ```

14818

```

Humanity’s freedom-hope

Can never be achieved

Unless and until humanity has won

Oneness-peace in the heart. ```

14819

```

O war-monger,

You are now a hero!

But are you going to become

A super-hero

By establishing peace

Before the fulfilment

Of your world-destruction-dream?

```

14820

```

You want to challenge the world.

Alas, this is an ancient story.

You have already done it.

You want to love, liberate and

Fulfil the world.

Ah, this is a new story.

Now you have to complete it.

```

14821

```

Suffering may purify the mind

And illumine the heart,

But suffering cannot liberate the mind

Or feed the heart with nectar-delight. ```

14822

```

Your curious mind

Wants to write God’s Biography.

But God has already appointed

Your self-giving heart

To write His Biography.

```

14823

```

How stupid of you

To allow your mind

To interfere

In your heart-activities. ```

14824

```

Strive!

Soulfully strive!

Aspire!

Sleeplessly aspire!

There is no other way

To see the Face of God

And to feel the Heart of God.

```

14825

```

Do not deviate

From God-devotion-road

If joy is the only thing

That you need in your life. ```

14826

```

Rest assured, if you are receptive,

God will without fail keep

His Life’s Peace-Satisfaction-Promise.

```

14827

```

A steady downpour of frustration

Has not left behind

Even an iota of enthusiasm

In my heart. ```

14828

```

God’s Compassion-Boat

Has saved my life

Time and again.

Therefore, I feel that I must do

A great favour to God

By manifesting Him in His own Way. ```

14829

```

Purity is undoubtedly

The best bridge

Between two human hearts.

```

14830

```

Lord, may I never forget

My promise to You,

Even in my wildest dreams.

```

14831

```

When tomorrow comes,

It will not come alone for once.

It will come with

A beautiful season of hope. ```

14832

```

My soul’s rainbow-qualities

Are saving my outer life

And serving my inner life.

```

14833

```

You are such a fool!

Do you not know

That it is almost an impossible task

To wear the crown

Of aspiration and dedication

Every day? ```

14834

```

May my life’s

Hope-breath

Never go out of season.

```

14835

```

The crown of importance

Everybody wants to wear.

But how many actually deserve it?

```

14836

```

When tomorrow comes,

I shall deliberately forget

My life-threatening insecurity-fever.

```

14837

```

Alas, why do we blame God

For the decisions that we make

According to our own necessity

And capacity? ```

14838

```

I always feel

That my expectation-life

Has a shorter-than-the-shortest

Breath. ```

14839

```

When I give God a hard time,

He smiles with His Vision-Eye

And cries with His Silence-Heart.

```

14840

```

I got the shock of my life

When my long-cherished confidence-heart

All of a sudden deserted me.

Why did it desert me?

Because I made a special friendship

With my doubting mind. ```

14841

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

And my gratitude-heart

Meet together

In God’s secret and sacred Heart-Garden. ```

14842

```

If you do not have aspiration-movement

In your life’s dedication-boat,

How can you ever reach

The God-realisation-manifestation-shore? ```

14843

```

Surrender is always beautiful;

Gratitude is always powerful:

This is what my Beloved Supreme

Most compassionately teaches me

In the inner school.

```

14844

```

God does not mind

If you do not read His Suggestion List.

But your soul does mind,

And your soul will force you

To read God’s Suggestion List,

For inside God’s Suggestion List

Is the brightest beginning of your life.

```

14845

```

Most of humanity’s mental diseases

Can be cured by the soul’s

Willingness-eagerness-enthusiasm.

```

14846

```

We are not the forgotten children

Of our Beloved Supreme.

He thinks of us,

He fulfils us

In His own divine Way.

```

14847

```

My Lord Supreme,

Why do You allow misunderstanding

To create measureless suffering

For each human being?

“My child,

I do not want misunderstanding

To rule human life,

But your supremacy-hankering mind

Either consciously or unconsciously

Creates untold misunderstanding-suffering.” ```

14848

```

To live in fear

Is to make oneself feel

That God is not within earshot.

```

14849

```

Your God-realisation-hunger

Itself manifests God

In a very special way.

```

14850

```

Not earth-bound desire-hopes

But Heaven-free aspiration-hopes

Can give me Infinity’s peace.

```

14851

```

God’s Family Secret:

Only the interdependent souls

Are the harbingers

Of perfect satisfaction. ```

14852

```

Perfection,

Where do you live?

On Eternity’s

Self-transcendence-road! ```

14853

```

Does God need ignorance?

God does not need ignorance for Himself,

But He acts in and through our ignorance

For our liberation and perfection. ```

14854

```

Yesterday’s God-lovers

Did not care for God-manifestation.

Today’s God-lovers

Care for God-manifestation,

But alas,

Their success is still a far cry. ```

14855

```

My heart’s faith is never afraid

Of establishing a friendship

With my mind.

But the doubting mind does not want

That friendship.

```

14856

```

God and mankind together

Are enjoying today

A new, life-satisfying hope-festival.

```

14857

```

Do not bank on the mind’s

Celestial wisdom,

For all the mind has

Is clever trickery. ```

14858

```

Both rich and poor,

Strong and weak,

Can knock at God’s Door.

But God’s Compassion

Embraces only those

Who are totally pure in heart. ```

14859

```

If your outer life has a problem,

Then the inner life will definitely

Be ready to help you out

By solving the problem. ```

14860

```

When the mind gives purity-sermons,

I laugh only to cry

And I cry only to laugh.

```

14861

```

Do not worry if you have lost

Your passport to paradise.

God will bless you with a new one.

Just offer Him one sincere gratitude-tear

From your heart.

```

14862

```

Just imagine, just imagine

That you are not responsible

For your confusion-mind!

You are responsible

Only for your illumination-heart.

```

14863

```

Each step

Along my God-surrender-road

Is my life’s tremendous progress.

```

14864

```

I shall enjoy God’s Command

Infinitely more

Than His standing Ovation.

```

14865

```

God the Teacher does not suspend

The disobedient student.

He just spends His precious Time

Only on

The willingness-obedience-student.

```

14866

```

If you do not soulfully persist

In your aspiration-dedication-life,

At any moment you can enter into

Your mind’s abysmal abyss. ```

14867

```

God’s Compassion-Song

And my heart-thrill

Live together permanently

And satisfactorily. ```

14868

```

God does not care if you win

Your Heavenward race.

But He does mind if you do not

Participate in the race. ```

14869

```

The meeting place of my heart’s tears

And my soul’s smiles

Invites me to celebrate

Their oneness-victory. ```

14870

```

My soul does not care for its supremacy.

It cares only for its intimacy

With my purity-heart

And my dedication-life. ```

14871

```

My self-offering

Is the after-effect

Of my Lord’s unconditional Smile.

```

14872

```

God wants me to lead

A hallowed life.

He also wants me to have

A secret and illumining place

Where He and I can play

Hide-and-seek. ```

14873

```

Beyond the sound-life

Is the breath of silence,

And beyond the breath of silence

Is God’s Victory-Trumpet. ```

14874

```

God wants us to aspire.

God wants us to serve.

Only one thing He does not want:

To remain even for a second

Unclaimed by us.

```

14875

```

My Lord,

May I be allowed today

To enjoy

An inspiration-flight-thrill? ```

14876

```

My Lord,

Please do not allow me

To enter into the doubt-danger-zone,

At least for a day. ```

14877

```

My Lord,

I do not want

To shape my own history.

I would like Your Compassion-Eye

To do it for me.

```

14878

```

My Lord,

How I wish You could give me

The capacity to become

A real native of Infinity’s Shore. ```

14879

```

The brave ascent of humanity

Entirely depends upon

The compassionate descent of Divinity.

```

14880

```

My Lord Supreme tells me

That if I do not have

Aspiration-heart-flames,

Then He will not give me

Dedication-plenitude-seeds.

```

14881

```

Unmask your mind

If you want to see

The Golden Face of Truth

And become

The Diamond-Heart of God.

```

14882

```

No, not even the worst rogue

On earth

Can ever escape

God’s Compassion-flooded Eye. ```

14883

```

At last my heart

Heaves a sigh of great relief

Because my mind will not enjoy

Any more

The close company of doubt.

```

14884

```

On earth

God enjoys most

The beauty and purity

Of a seeker’s heart-smile. ```

14885

```

The first human cry

Was for the perfection of life.

The last human smile

Will be for the complete satisfaction

Of God.

```

14886

```

God does not need our human applause.

What He needs from us

Is an ever-ready willingness

To be a real partner

In His Divinity-Manifestation-Game.

```

14887

```

Indeed, extremely hard it is

To forget the powerful sound

Of my lost ignorance-drum.

```

14888

```

My Lord Supreme,

How and why do You allow

Ignorance-eyes, ignorance-ears,

Plus ignorance-mind

To follow human beings

Wherever they go? ```

14889

```

O my false desire-friend,

How many times do I have to say

Good-bye to you?

Can you not see

That my real aspiration-friend

Has already arrived

At my heart’s self-giving invitation?

```

14890

```

Positive thoughts lovingly tell me

I am on the way

To my long-dreamt-of

God-realisation-palace.

Negative thoughts vehemently tell me

I am not even worthy

Of a tinier-than-the-tiniest

Ignorance-cave. ```

14891

```

Who can run the fastest?

Only he who has lost everything

And yet needs nothing

From this confusion-cherishing world. ```

14892

```

God may not allow anybody

To carry His Wisdom-Head

Here, there and everywhere.

But He will allow everybody

To carry His Compassion-Feet

Wherever they want. ```

14893

```

O my self-created

Sadness-mind-enemy,

I am determined to transform you

Into my happiness-heart-friend. ```

14894

```

My seeker-friend,

Before it is too late,

Tell God that you will love Him

Only with what your mind has

And what your heart is!

```

14895

```

All problems begin inside

The doubting and suspecting mind-jungle,

And they end inside

The loving and caring heart-garden. ```

14896

```

Simplicity, sincerity and purity

Are not enough

To please God totally.

Only a sleeplessly self-giving heart

Can become the choicest instrument of God

Inside the depths of Mother Earth

Or inside the vastness of Father Heaven.

```

14897

```

My Lord,

Do tell me what tempts me

To stand against You?

“My child,

It is your ignorance-feeding willingness

That compels you to stand against Me.” ```

14898

```

My Lord,

Today I shall only pray to You

To grant me the capacity

To climb up to my own highest height

And bring it down to place inside

Your Compassion-flooded Heart. ```

14899

```

I do want to see a seeker

Who can prove to me

That he is not handicapped

By his self-doubt. ```

14900

```

Between my heart-tears

And my soul-smiles

There is a secret and sacred place

Where I always sing and fly,

And that place is my soul’s

Promise-fulfilment-delight. ```
