Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 45

Return to the table of contents

4401

When God sends for you,
Be determined to be available
At your heart-home.

4402

The faintest
Of the faraway whispers
Of your heart
God proudly hears.

4403

My sterile self-torture
Is over.
I am now
My God’s God-Rapture.

4404

Every morning
His heart imports soulfulness
From Heaven.

4405

Depression-culprit
Has shamelessly caused
His life’s aspiration-drought.

4406

Today
My soul is richly enjoying
The total collapse
Of my life’s bondage-bridge.

4407

Unless you shed
Your mind’s selfishness-skin,
God is not going to give you
His Heart’s Fulness-Smile.

4408

The business-filled days
Of your desire-life
Have nothing to do with
God’s Satisfaction-Heart.

4409

Since God has no need
To understand me,
Why do I need
To understand God?

4410

Every day
My mind’s brooding
Hesitation-questions
Baffle me.

4411

My aspiration-heart,
I adore you
Because you abhor
Lethargy’s tenebrous night.

4412

Right now
My heart desperately needs
Only one thing:
An island of hope.

4413

Man’s insecurity-life
And God’s Emergency Room
Are constantly busy.

4414

Pure is your heart,
Sweet is your faith.
No wonder
You can always smile!

4415

Today
My soul’s divinity-bird
And my heart’s purity-bird
Are together on the wing.

4416

How can you ever be
A perfect God-seeker
Unless you have developed
A top-quality heart-cry?

4417

My Lord, do tell me
The God-honest truth!
Has anybody pleased You
Since the birth of Your creation?

4418

You must dare to cross
Your heart’s shaky
Insecurity-bridge
As fast as possible!

4419

To a perfect God-lover
A life of temptation
Is a totally foreign language.

4420

My mind always
Respectfully enters
My heart’s purity-temple.

4421

Do you want to discover God?
Then embark
On your love-expedition.

4422

You are right.
Your spiritual inheritance
Is your soul’s
God-manifestation-promise.

4423

My Beloved Supreme
Does two things for me:
He simplifies my complexity-mind
And amplifies my purity-heart.

4424

You must not repeat
Your deplorable mistakes
In the same uncontrollable way.

4425

My love-deposits
In God’s Heart-Bank
Give God infinite Delight.

4426

Try to see and feel
That your imitation prayers
Have unthinkable limitations.

4427

Because God Himself wants you,
He has transformed your tomorrow
Into His Today.

4428

Who asked you to sleep
When God Himself came to you
And wanted to talk to you?

4429

When perfection comes in,
My mind
Hesitates to welcome it,
And my heart
Jumps up with ecstasy!

4430

Alas, how can I forgive myself
When I have allowed
My God-manifestation
To be a forgotten project?

4431

Each good thought
Definitely marks the beginning
Of a new God-fulfilling dawn.

4432

His eyes show me
An aspiration-mountain.
His life shows me
A dedication-fountain.

4433

You can easily ease God’s pain
By increasing a little more
Your heart’s cry.

4434

We can never get
The heart’s spontaneous happiness
From the mind’s rigid rituals.

4435

You have to become
A simplified truth-seeker
Before you can become
A certified God-lover.

4436

Soon your supreme Music Teacher
Will examine you
As you play on the kettledrum
Of delight.

4437

Nothing was,
Nothing is
And nothing can ever be
Beyond my hope-mountain.

4438

All you need to understand
Is this:
God does not want you
To try to understand Him.

4439

Try to keep
Brave and wise company.
Stay with
God’s dedication-troops.

4440

My Heavenly dreams,
How absurd you are!
My earthly promises,
How useless you are!

4441

A true God-lover
Is he who is always ready
With his heart’s
Aspiring answer-cries.

4442

You should be happy and proud
That you are not the producer
Of the world’s criticism-voice.

4443[fn:ap4443]

As God’s Face
And His Grace
Are inseparable,
Even so I want my heart
And my heart’s cry
To be inseparable.

[fn:ap4443] AP 4443,4. First edition possibly misprinted 4th line as. Even if I want my heart

4444

God loves me.
He loves my helpless heart
More.
He loves my surrender-life
Most.

4445

My Lord was hungry.
Therefore
He devoured my ignorance-life.

I am hungry.
Therefore
I am devouring my Lord’s Compassion-Eye.

4446

I do not want to live
In the dust of my dead memories
Any more.

4447

His self-transcending life
Works
At the aspiration-airport.

4448

You are not
Your mind’s misty haze.
You are
Your heart’s God-loving
And God-pleasing dawn.

4449

It is never too late
For any heart-sailor
To set out
On an inner voyage.

4450

When I say
I know the world well,
Immediately I go out of tune
With God’s cosmic Music.

4451

Humility appears:
Pride surrenders
And disappears.

4452

To feed your heart
Satisfactorily,
You have to strike your mind
Ruthlessly.

4453

Meditation
Is the God-Touch
To end my life’s
Teeming frictions.

4454

I do not want to hear
Your vital’s storm-stories.
I want to hear
Your heart’s God-blossom-stories.

4455

Eternity
Blessingfully invites
My life’s fleeting time
To enter.

4456

Unless you bury
Your disobedience-mind,
God is not going to invite you
To become a member
Of His inner Family.

4457

My faith and I
Are desperately trying
To convince my doubts
To commit suicide
For their own good.

4458

Stab your uncomely-thought-mind
With your soul’s
Naked knife.

4459

He who has a gratitude-heart
Will realise
That God’s Delight in him
Is God’s never-ending Beginning.

4460

Your self-doubt-giant
Is no more.
Therefore, in front of you
You see none other than
The well-pleased God.

4461

You cannot hide
Your real life
With a false humility-curtain.

4462

Is there anybody
To whom God will not give
The needed capacity
To renew himself
If he sincerely wants to?

4463

God the Supreme Pilot
Supremely enjoys
Your heart’s vast silence-sky.

4464

You must transcend your superiority
By replacing it
With your heart’s oneness-divinity.

4465

One school of thought says:
God is impartial.
Another school of thought says:
God is partial.
Yet another school of thought says:
God is neutral.

4466

My Beloved Supreme,
Would You mind
Taking a new look
At my aspiration-heart?

4467

Aspiration and dedication-workers
Only
Have the unparalleled skills
To build a stairway to God.

4468

Your jealousy-mind
Wants to die.
Therefore
Your ecstasy-life
Can live forever.

4469

Now that I dream
Of my unmistakable
Progress-paradise,
God loves me infinitely more.

4470

If you can quote
From your soul’s wisdom-light,
Then easily you will answer
Life’s most difficult questions.

4471

Two unfortunate losers:
Earth and Heaven.
Earth has lost its aspiration.
Heaven has lost its satisfaction.

4472

O my mind,
How long will you remain
A vast reservoir
Of useless doubts?

4473

It is useless to drag
Your mind’s unwillingness-feet
Towards God’s Compassion-Eye.

4474

To think that you are impure
And to do nothing about it
Is as stupid
As floundering in the dark
Deliberately.

4475

His promises run away
Even faster
Than his fleeting thoughts.

4476

What my mind needs
Is a waveless sea.
What my heart needs
Is a cloudless sky.

4477

My Lord Supreme has given me
Another chance
To change my ingratitude-heart.

4478

My aspiration,
Like God’s Compassion,
Will be eternal, infinite and immortal.

4479

Because of your Heaven-blessed
Sincerity-heart,
Your life will not stray
From God’s Path.

4480

My hesitation is completely gone.
Therefore
My Lord Supreme has given me
Another chance to advance upward.

4481

God-responsibility
Does not feel the necessity
Of entering into
Man’s ingratitude-heart-room.

4482

O my stupid mind,
When are you going to realise
That doubt is a forbidden food?

4483

Pay no attention
To your past failure-life!
Then nobody will be able
To ridicule you.

4484

What can I possibly give You,
My Lord,
To be worthy
Of Your Compassion-Eye?

4485

You have wasted enough time!
Now muster all your courage
For a soulful and powerful
New beginning.

4486

Give up your self-deception-life
First,
If you want to take up
God’s Time.

4487

I speak ill of humanity,
But I don’t mean it.
It is just a bad habit —
Unintentional.

4488

How can your soulless heart
Be loyal
To God’s bountiful Eye?

4489

Make God your Decision-Maker
If you want to become
A great performer
On the world-stage.

4490

God is asking me
How many more years
I am going to keep
My heart’s perfection-room
Unfurnished.

4491

My mind is drawing
A wagon of fear.
Therefore
My life is compelled
To dance with failure.

4492

God has a very special way
To spell “aspiration”:
C-O-M-P-A-S-S-I-O-N.

4493

My outer life
Shall never succeed
And my inner life
Shall never proceed
Unless I invent
A totally new surrender-way.

4494

Go back
To your fond heart-country!
Your Beloved Supreme
Is eagerly waiting for you.

4495

His God-hungry heart
Is never plagued
By world-hungry desires.

4496

Negative thoughts
Have the daring spirit
To spread like wildfire.

4497

No, not even my mind
Is going to be
In the same boat with you,
Since you are telling me
That God is somewhere else.

4498

Give your heart aspiration.
This is what your heart needs.
Give your life illumination.
This is what your life deserves.

4499

Your aspiration-life
Will eventually become
The deathless sunrise
Of God-Satisfaction.

4500

Five all-completing words:
“Lord,
I love You only”.
