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?
