Aspiration-cry

Aspiration is a cry within our heart. As a child cries, so also in the heart you will feel a cry. A child is within you, shedding tears. He is weeping because he wants to transcend himself. This mounting cry, this climbing cry inside our heart we call aspiration. When we aspire with our heart’s tears, we see that God is coming down to us from above. The heart is crying and yearning like a mounting flame burning upward. This flame of the heart wants to go up beyond the mind, so it is always rising. And God is constantly descending with His Grace, like a river flowing downward. Ours is the flame which always burns upward; God’s Grace, like a stream, is coming down from the Source. It is just like two persons meeting; one is on the first floor and the other is on the third floor. So what happens? We go up to the second floor and God comes down to the second floor. There we meet and fulfil each other. When aspiration and Grace meet together, we come to experience the divine fulfilment of union with God.

With aspiration we begin our journey, and with aspiration we continue our journey. Since there is no end to our journey, and since God is infinite, eternal and immortal, our aspiration will constantly flow towards God’s Infinity, Eternity and Immortality. Aspiration is the endless road that leads eternally towards the ever-transcending Beyond.
