Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 211
21001
Ignorance is defeatingWorld-aspiration,
But eventually world-aspiration
Will win the race.
21002
God has countless Heart-Doors.A seeker always takes
His Compassion-Heart-Door.
21003
God has given us lifeTo enjoy divinely
And not to destroy ruthlessly.
21004
The mind’s illusion-thiefWill not be able
To escape and hide forever.
21005
O seeker, your blind prideHas made you a perfect stranger
To God’s Compassion.
21006
A purity-heart has the capacityTo fly at the speed
Of a sweet dream.
21007
Do you know whyYou are suffering so much?
You are suffering so much
Because you have failed
To guard the door of your mind.
21008
You are beautiful, more beautiful,Most beautiful
Only when you join your soul
In dancing
In God’s Heart-Garden.
21009
If your life is dominatedBy doubt,
Then faith is helpless
To change the course
Of your life.
21010
When disobedience shakes handsWith your life
And embraces your heart,
We see the express arrival
Of total doom.
21011
Cheerful sincerityHas to dawn
In your inner life
If you really want
To succeed and proceed
In your aspiration-cry
And dedication-smile.
21012
Every morning pray to GodTo help you discover
The God-dreamer-child
In your heart-flower.
21013
The self-indulgenceOf ingratitude
Has covered the length and breadth
Of the world.
21014
Be aware of disobedience-torture.Then only you will be able
To obey God and fulfil God
In His own Way.
21015
The remedy for all earth-ailmentsIs a conscious, constant
Heart-cry.
21016
There cannot be anythingAs uninspiring and unaspiring
As conscious self-deception.
21017
My life is so sweetly,Blessingfully and compassionately
Touched by the Compassion-Eye
Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.
21018
The dreamer in youWill remain awake
Only when it hears
The melodious songs
Of God-lovers on earth.
21019
God most compassionately waitsFor each and every
Triumphant ascent
Of the genuine seeker.
21020
Your life-plantAnd your heart-rose
Are chosen by God Himself.
21021
Do not cast your suspicion-net.You will be ruthlessly ridiculed
By the entire world.
21022
Alas,God is struggling
And suffering so much
To keep my stupid mind happy!
21023
Heaven sings in my heart.God Himself sings in my heart.
But alas, where is my ear?
Where is my vision?
21024
My soul will never acceptPermanent defeat.
It will surcharge
My searching mind
And my aspiring heart
With its infinite light and delight.
21025
O my life-tree,I want the whole world to enjoy
Your strongest branches
And not your tiniest twigs.
21026
The soul’s only tragedyIs the seeker’s
Failure-life.
21027
Until you are willingTo accept God
In God’s own Way,
You can never be truly happy.
21028
I know my prayers will neverChange God’s Mind,
But God’s Mind can and will
Change my prayers.
21029
Is there any human beingWho does not keep God waiting
Indefinitely?
21030
The difference betweenThe Creator and the creation is this:
The creation is a universal cry;
The Creator is a transcendental Smile.
21031
Prompted by our utter stupidity,We always think of giving God
A surprise.
But do we not know
That God Himself
Is the only Surprise?
21032
Disobedience is lustreless.Disobedience is soulless.
Disobedience eventually becomes
Hopelessly helpless.
21033
Disobedience has to beKept under control
If we hope to live
A self-disciplined life.
21034
Unseen and unappreciated,God’s Silence-Fulfilment-Tree
Spreads everywhere.
21035
God does not believeIn staying alone.
He always enjoys the company
Of self-giving souls.
21036
May the beauty of our prayerAnd fragrance of our meditation
Increase with our daily
Blossoming faith-strength.
21037
Patience in the presenceOf teeming obstacles
Is the only way
To surprisingly succeed in life.
21038
When truth and falsehoodQuarrel and fight,
Falsehood always loses.
21039
If you are supremely strongIn your inner life,
It is advisable to know the worst,
So that you can prepare yourself
For the best.
21040
Twice I am totally puzzled:Once when I see the weakness
Of humanity
And once when I see the greatness
Of humanity.
21041
God secretly tells meThat nothing can ever be useless
In His creation-vision-world.
“Uselessness” is not to be found
In God’s Heart-Dictionary.
21042
I cannot understandHow you can be
Helplessly and willingly blind
While walking along
God-realisation-road.
21043
I always long to studyIn the school
Of truth-sublimity
And God-necessity.
21044
As long as we believe othersTo be equally sincere, good
And promising,
We shall not suffer from
The weakness of division-night.
21045
Supreme,You have shown me Your golden Boat.
You have shown me Your golden Face.
Please tell me when
You will show me Your golden Feet.
21046
Your slow attemptAt self-improvement
Is compelling your soul
To shed bitter tears.
21047
From God’s point of view,You are not consciously, self-givingly,
Sleeplessly and breathlessly
Trying to be another God.
21048
God tells me thatThe only indispensable thing
In life I need
Is an unconditionally surrendered
Heart-smile.
21049
Each spiritual MasterHas his inner reasons
Why he deals with each individual
In a totally different way.
21050
O seeker,Do you know what you have become?
You have become a slave
To your demands,
And God has become a slave
To His own Forgiveness.
21051
Whenever I dream of God’s Love,I become
A rising God-hunger-wave.
21052
Whether you want to or not,There shall come a time
When you will be bound to observe
The ultimate demise
Of your doubting mind.
21053
Disobedience is nothing other thanA paralytic stroke
In the spiritual life.
21054
A God-blessed aspiration-runnerWill not be a victim
To doubt-injuries.
21055
On the aspiration-roadAlways follow
Devotion-fragrance-signs.
21056
Division-trees will without failBe uprooted from the God-Garden
By God Himself.
21057
Your once-a-dayPrayer-meditation session
Can never be enough
To expedite
Your Heavenward journey.
21058
Always be on the alert!Your heart’s aspiration-treasure
Can be stolen
By your mind’s desire-thief.
21059
Whatever opposes God’s WillWill eventually surrender,
For God’s Will is Infinity’s
Omnipotence.
21060
If you want to surprise God,Then obey Him all the time
And not just when
It suits your purpose.
21061
If you do not wantTo serve God,
How do you expect God
To feed you?
21062
Do not be so stupid!It is you who are rejecting
Deliberately
God the Compassion
And God the Illumination.
21063
I am absolutely sureThat before long,
Mine will be
A God-pleasing life.
21064
To silence the forcesOf ignorance-titan,
I shall dare to love God
Devotedly and unconditionally.
21065
If you want to win God’s Heart,Love God spontaneously
And serve God willingly.
21066
You have not lost anything —On the contrary,
You have got everything —
By losing your desire-life.
21067
Compassion-Light has not succeeded,But I am sure Justice-Light
Will without fail succeed!
21068
My Lord,Just end the era of Your Compassion!
What I need is Your Justice
To turn me into
A good citizen of the world.
21069
Alas, I do not know howI shall ever find my way back
To my Lord’s Favour
If I continue hurting
His Compassion-Heart.
21070
My Lord,I have not come into the world
To hide my mind’s faults.
I have come into the world
To expose my mind’s faults
And reveal my heart’s
God-satisfaction-willingness
And eagerness.
21071
You can close your eyesTo reality’s body,
But you can never close your eyes
To reality’s heart.
21072
Wherever he,Along with his aspiration-cries,
Goes,
Heaven and Heaven’s Satisfaction-Smile
Follow.
21073
I want to remain owned alwaysBy my Lord’s Compassion-Eye
And His Forgiveness-Heart.
21074
To serve God is not onlyTo please God and to fulfil God,
But eventually to become God.
21075
Disobedience-road leads usNowhere.
Obedience-road shows us
The satisfaction-goal
Everywhere.
21076
O obedience,You have made my eyes beautiful,
You have made my heart pure,
You have made my breath self-giving,
You have made my mind clear.
21077
As the world will manage nicelyWithout me,
Even so, I shall manage my life wisely
Without the world.
21078
My gratitude is worthlessIf there is no abiding God-faith
In my gratitude.
My surrender is useless
If there is no abiding God-faith
In my surrender.
21079
You do not have to flyTo the blue-vast sky.
The blue-vast sky will enter into you
If you turn your mind into a silence-home.
21080
My Lord, I implore YouNot to make me happy
In my own way,
But to make me perfect
In Your own Way.
21081
O seeker, if you do not wantTo believe in your crying heart,
At least believe in
Your illumining soul.
21082
The living breathOf my real existence
Is my Lord’s Compassion-Rain.
21083
I came into the worldTo make my Lord Supreme happy.
Alas, what am I doing?
I am desperately trying
To make myself happy!
21084
People become infinitely more jealousWhen you climb up
The ladder of success
Than when you climb up
The ladder of progress.
21085
My simple but urgentRequest to God
Is not to fulfil
Any desire of mine
Whatsoever!
21086
The only indispensable thingIn my life
Is my ceaseless attempt at
Perfection.
21087
Since you cannot fathomYour Master’s heart,
It is good for you to remain silent
And not to ask him the reason
He does things in an unusual way.
21088
Who can prevent you from thinkingThe right thing,
If not your mind?
Who can prevent you from doing
The wrong thing,
If not your heart?
21089
You should not delayWhen the gates of the aspiration-world
Beckon you!
21090
When self-transcendence becomesYour conscious choice,
The door of delight
Will welcome you.
21091
Who is a favourite instrument of God?He who is totally
And sleeplessly satisfied
With God’s divine Operation
In and through him.
21092
Who is a favourite instrument of God?He who claims God sleeplessly
As his own,
No matter what he does
Or who he is.
21093
If you walk alongThe desert-road of self-doubt,
How can you ever dare
To be really happy?
21094
You only want the money-godTo please you.
Since the Heart-God you do not want,
How can you expect anything
From the Heart-God?
21095
Who knows what God’s Plan is?He may use failure
To awaken your heart more fully.
21096
When I pray to God,His Presence I feel in my heart.
When I meditate on God,
He participates with me
In all my activities.
21097
Just because the soul does not wantTo tell you everything
For its own special reason,
Do not think that the soul
Does not know everything!
21098
The joy of silenceIs the joy we get
From our breathless self-offering.
21099
Nothing disturbs God,But if I can do the thing
That will gladden God’s Heart,
Then why do I have to do the thing
That saddens God?
21100
Mine is a hallowed heart-temple.Here I sing,
Here I pray,
Here I meditate,
And here in silence I converse
With my Lord Beloved Supreme.
