Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 7

Return to the table of contents

601

My heart does not know
How it can ever live
Without the daily
Compassion-Consolation-Embrace
Of my Beloved Supreme.

602

Because your mind sincerely needs
Illumination,
Because your heart soulfully needs
Liberation,
Because your life desperately needs
Perfection,
God is going to give you, before long,
His own Credit Card.

603

Who else is a real fool
If not he who does not ask God
For anything
For fear of His Answer?

604

He is not suffering
From his disbelief.
He is suffering
From the extravagance
Of his self-styled faith.

605

My heart needs only one thing.
It needs to be guided
Along the age-old path
Of life-blossoming self-awareness.

606

Allow me, O Lord,
Immediately to stand
For the God-realisation examination.
I wish to be spared
The torment of waiting.

607

Self-indulgence means
The extinguished flame
Of hope for God-realisation.

608

Expectation
Is the beginning of temptation
In the outer life.
Dedication
Is the beginning of satisfaction
In the inner life.

609

I have opened up an account
With God’s Heart-Bank.
Therefore, I see nowhere
The battering waves of poverty-thoughts.

610

When are you going to realise
That you are living in the dark
When you live in the great maze
Of tormenting thought?

611

A single breath of purity
Can fell the hurtful
Division-tree.

612

Since you have survived
The countless attacks of ignorance,
For you there can be
No illusion-prison of false dreams.

613

Bitter failures have taught you!
Therefore, you do not have to remain
Any longer a stranger
To your pure self-insight.

614

Since temptation-life has failed
To bind your mind,
Fear-cramps cannot grip
Your heart.

615

A seeker’s humility-heart
Knows how to become
The Smile of God.

616

If you start now,
You will have plenty of time
To convince God to grant you
His immortal Smile
Before death forces you
To enter through its door.

617

If you constantly indulge
Your incapacities,
You will be forced to climb
The stairway of despair.

618

Do not bury the world
With your indifference-eye
If you want to see
The beauty-hours of Heaven-days
On earth.

619

If you find fault
With God the Compassion,
How can you expect to see
The death of your desire-life?

620

If you can have patience
As your inner breath,
Then you will have fortitude
As your outer body.

621

To feed my mind
My Lord has become great.
To feed my heart
My Lord has become good.
To feed my soul
My Lord has become perfect.
To feed my life
My Lord has become
His humanity’s cry
And His Divinity’s Smile.

622

Because your mind
Lives on stupidity-street,
Your heart’s divinity-flames
Are all extinguished.

623

I foresee a hopeless battle
Inside you
Between your mind and your heart.
Your mind wants to poison your heart
So it cannot pray to God.
Your heart wants to unburden your mind
So it will not put unnecessary
And unwanted pressure on the heart.
Indeed, this will be a hopeless battle.
God alone knows whether either party
Is going to win.

624

I do not want to remember
My unaspiring heart,
Complacent mind
And strangling vital.
The very act of remembering
My past weaknesses
Can destroy me.

625

Imagination
Is the beauty of power.
Aspiration
Is the power of purity.
Realisation
Is the oneness of divinity.

626

His ego has been bluntly
And mercilessly assaulted.
Therefore, the human in him
Is heaving a sigh of remorse,
The divine in him
Is heaving a sigh of relief
And the Supreme in him
Is celebrating his new birth.

627

Your desire-lives
Are your own history’s dust-heaps.
Your aspiration-lives
Are your God’s Heaven-climbing
And earth-illumining Towers.

628

Allow failure to teach you
A supreme lesson:
Each sunset is the beginning
Of a very, very bright
And powerful sunrise.

629

If you want to succeed
Divinely and supremely,
Then every day you must water
The green plants of your heart-garden.

630

The winter of your body’s lethargy
Can immediately be over
Only if you are ready to welcome
The spring of your soul’s dynamism.

631

Do not be afraid
Of your teeming weaknesses.
Brook no compromise with them!
Wrestle with the task
Of divinising them
With your soul’s wisdom-light.

632

Tame everything in your life
Save and except
Your heart’s soulful tears.

633

Be not discouraged!
Be only determined!
The Golden Shore is eagerly waiting
For the arrival of your silver dream-boat.

634

No wonder your hope-rainbow
Has completely vanished!
You have allowed your mind-sky
To be eclipsed by the darkness
Of countless doubt-clouds.

635

Unless you release
Your heart’s hidden tears,
You will not be able to see
The beauty and divinity
Of your life’s improvement-sky.

636

O mountains of misunderstanding,
I am praying to God
While, at the same time, waiting
For your life-stories to end.

637

My mind tells me
That God’s Timetable
Does not change at all.
My heart tells me
That God’s Timetable
Changes very slowly.
My soul tells me
That God’s Timetable
Changes not only speedily
But also perfectly.

638

You call it
A tiny disobedience.
I call it
The unmistakable beginning
Of your life-destroying
Spiritual downfall.

639

Two things must live together
Inside a seeker:
His heart’s absolute truth
And his life’s grateful obedience.
Then alone can he be
A supremely chosen instrument
Of God.

640

Each soul
Is an accomplished interpreter
For the unknown worlds
Of unmanifested divinity-flames.

641

If you really want
To succeed in life,
Then do not allow
Your aspiration-heart to waver
Between wisdom-hope
And ignorance-despair.

642

My mind calls it complacency,
My heart calls it carelessness,
My soul calls it blindness,
My God calls it uselessness
And I call it
My God-forgetfulness-life.

643

If your mind was born
To inspiration,
If your heart was born
To aspiration,
If your life was born
To dedication,
If your soul was born
To illumination,
Then you were definitely born
To realisation.

644

One little act of selflessness
Is the magnet
That draws both God’s Perfection-Eye
And God’s Satisfaction-Heart.

645

The loser’s inner speed
Is lethargy.
The loser’s outer speed
Is unwillingness.

The winner’s inner speed
Is self-offering.
The winner’s outer speed
Is self-perfection-smile.

646

Do not accept any substitute
For God.
God has asked me to inform you
That He never liked the idea
Of having a substitute for Himself.

647

To whom does the world belong?
Certainly it does not belong
To my self-sufficient mind.

648

You have now become
A supremely chosen instrument of God
Because you were ready to risk
The world’s dire disapproval.

649

Look what the dark impurity
Of your mind
Has done to you!
It has given birth
To a giant rascal-ego.

650

How can you expect to find any proper cure
For your chronic depression-night,
When you were not even alarmed
By the early death
Of your faith-plant-life?

651

When your winning-life
Ceases to matter,
God’s loving Heart will grow
Quickly, proudly and unconditionally.

652

Since your mind is invaded
By uncertainty,
Your heart is bound to be caught
In a web of sorrow.

653

At the end
Of its unimaginably long journey,
Intellect said to intuition:
“I am very sincerely yours.”

654

Always say a willing “Yes”
To God
If you want Him to liberate you
From the prison of self-indulgence.

655

You have uprooted your faith-tree.
Therefore, your God,
Unlike mine,
Has now become very small.

656

The shadow of a deep sorrow
Is crossing your heart-path
Because you do not care
To shake ignorance-dust
From your two little eyes.

657

Yesterday I was happy
Because God’s Eye was watching me.
Today I am happy
Because my eyes are turning towards God.
Tomorrow I shall be happy
Because my eyes and God’s Eye
Will together dine.

658

As God the Heart-Searcher
Is very careful,
Even so, God the Life-Saviour
Is very powerful.

659

How can Heaven be near your heart
When you so deeply enjoy your stay
In the house of indulgence-luxury?

660

What can the body-bound nature
Of man’s mind do?
It can only remain imprisoned
In its own low and abysmal life.

661

His heart is a born God-seeker.
His life is a born God-lover.
His soul is a born God-distributor.

662

This world lives
In a totally false peace.
Therefore, my heart longs
To be left alone for Eternity.

663

His life is too pure to play
With the world’s temptation-flames.
His heart is too sure to play
With the world’s frustration-fires.

664

Where does he live?
He lives on the altar
Of his heart’s sacred song-flames.

665

Truth does not know
How to transcend,
But God knows!
Truth is old,
But God is at once
Eternally new
And eternally old.

666

When I open my eyes
I see God,
The Beauty of the finite.
When I close my eyes
I see God,
The Divinity of the Infinite.

667

My heart’s willingness
Has the capacity to open
My life’s locked limitation-doors.

668

If you keep your faith-treasure safe,
Your doubt-mind cannot decide
The course of your life.

669

O my backward-thinking mind,
How will you ever feel
The delight-touch
Of my soul-light?

670

Because you offer God
Only imitation prayers,
God is not liberating you
From your swarm of wild
And dangerous worries.

671

What is an unaspiring life
If not an unbearable agony
Of self-deception?

672

A disturbing thought:
This is what your mind
Can any time be.
An illumining oneness:
This is what your heart
Forever shall remain.

673

Unless your heart becomes
A constantly spinning hope-top,
How can your life set an abiding trend
Of success-smile and progress-dance?

674

What was I doing?
I was hunting my mind’s
Dangerous thoughts.
What am I doing now?
I am obeying my soul’s
Precious will.

675

If you want to prove
Your unparalleled capacity,
You will end up exhibiting
Your unparalleled incapacity.

676

Twice I was awestruck.
Once I was awestruck
By the imperfection-night
Of my life,
And once I was awestruck
By the Compassion-Sun
Of God’s Heart.

677

Do you want to know
What I am missing?
I am missing my heart’s
God-loving orphan-sorrow.

678

There can never be any difference
Between the haughtiness of
A self-sufficient mind
And the emptiness of
A God-deficient life.

679

My life of dedication
Cheerfully owns
Only what God has unconditionally sown
Inside my aspiration-heart.

680

The mind is
Its own nonsense-cleverness.
The heart is
Its own wisdom-oneness.
The soul is
Its own perfection-fulness.

681

If you do not make
The people around you happy,
Your heart’s inner shrine
Will be without God.

682

What is life
If not a longing for
The blossoming of an opportunity
To become an integrally perfect man?

683

Today before the sun sets
I must realise that my mind
Is only a fleeting thing
And that my heart
Is an abiding treasure-gift from God.

684

My prayer-life
Powerfully awakens me.
My meditation-life
Richly rewards me.

685

Nobody, not even God,
Enjoys the confrontation between
Light-beauty and darkness-ugliness.
How, then, can you enjoy it?

686

My tiny gratitude-plant
And God’s huge Compassion-Tree
Are inseparably growing together.

687

A life ruled by
The laughable certainty
Of the finite mind
Is even worse
Than a life hopelessly lost
In a labyrinth of possibilities.

688

So simple a thing as love divine,
Alas, nobody wants.
So sweet a thing as oneness perfect,
Alas, nobody needs.

689

Victory over the mind
Helps you become
The partner of God the Liberator.

690

Experience is the miracle
Of transformation.
Realisation is the natural awareness
Of oneness-perfection.

691

To establish your reign
In every atom,
You must scatter the seeds
Of universal oneness-love.

692

My Beloved Supreme,
I shall gladly allow You
To steal my heart
Only on one condition:
That You do not return it.

693

Because of your impure mind,
Yesterday you were tempted to take.
Because of your pure heart,
Today you are prompted to give.

694

What I know
And what I do not know:
I know the abyss of hell,
And I do not know
The transcendental heights of Heaven.

695

If you think
You are God’s slave,
Then beg Him slavishly
To give you an iota of Love.

If you think
You are God’s child,
Then ask Him soulfully
To give you His infinite Delight.

696

Alas, when will life’s
Treacherous vanity
Be illumined by the soul’s
Sleepless God-loving thirst?

697

His heart has become as generous
As a fountain of art.
Therefore, his life is becoming
Humanity’s precious journey’s start
To Heaven’s unmeasured
And unscaled heights.

698

Enslave your ambition-horse
If you want to become
God’s fondness-lamb.

699

Do you not see
That your life’s excessive hope
And your mind’s possessive nature
Will before long destroy you
Completely?

700

My Beloved Lord Supreme,
Your Justice-Flames may not know,
But Your Forgiveness-Sun does know
How to make me Your own, very own.
