Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 100

9901

```

I am the beautiful and soulful cry

Of God’s yesterday.

God is the powerful and fruitful Smile

Of my tomorrow. ```

9902

```

I care for you

Not because you care for me,

Not because God cares for you,

But because your heart cares

Only for God.

```

9903

```

I came, I saw, I conquered.

What did I come here for?

I came for God-manifestation.

What did I see?

I saw universal ingratitude.

What did I conquer?

I conquered man’s unwillingness

To claim God as his very own. ```

9904

```

He who has made unconditional surrender

To the Will of his Beloved Supreme

Has already paved his inner path

With his heart’s soulful purity. ```

9905

```

Give what you have,

Not because God will give you

Infinitely more,

But because giving itself is

The unparalleled fulfilment-satisfaction.

```

9906

```

Your mind-teacher will teach you

How to sink with man

In ignorance-sea.

Your heart-teacher will teach you

How to swim with God

And for God

In God’s Delight-Ocean. ```

9907

```

Yours is a mind

That deliberately enters

Into suspicion-cave.

How can you then see

The sunlight-glow

Of God’s Perfection-Morning? ```

9908

```

God’s Satisfaction-Scale

Only weighs

Man’s aspiration-cry

And his perfection-smile. ```

9909

```

Your heart’s purity

Will help you

Reach the end of your mind’s

Impurity-life. ```

9910

```

Do not hide

Your imperfection-insects

Under your mind’s

Comfortable blanket. ```

9911

```

If you have a heart,

Then that heart

Has to be inspired and encouraged

To climb up devotion-mountain. ```

9912

```

Your heart’s burning tears

Are being treasured

By God’s earth-transforming Heart.

```

9913

```

You can walk along

God’s Perfection-Road

If your heart carries

All the time

A faith-map.

```

9914

```

An aspiring heart

Has the capacity

And is the capacity

To pick illumination-flowers

From God’s Sun-Garden.

```

9915

```

Your mind’s ambition-sword

Has unconsciously slain

Your heart’s aspiration-child.

```

9916

```

Every day make it a point

To keep your mind

Under strict supervision

If you want to participate

In God’s Perfection-Satisfaction-Race.

```

9917

```

Nourish your faith-plant.

Lo, your doubt-tree

Is dead!

```

9918

```

God’s true lovers only

Can prove that they are

The temptation-conquerors.

```

9919

```

Every day his aspiration-heart

Gets a blank Delight-Cheque

From God.

```

9920

```

Will You wait for me,

My Lord?

“Will you cry for Me,

My child?” ```

9921

```

God is unusually fond of me

Because I am giving away His top Secret.

I am telling the whole world,

From my own personal experience,

That right from the beginning

God has been loving and feeding

His creation

Unconditionally. ```

9922

```

When I aspire,

My life becomes

A purity-flower.

When I love,

My life becomes

A God-ordained duty-tree.

```

9923

```

He is having an unusual experience:

His heart is running even faster

Than his mind’s imagination!

```

9924

```

The God-lover’s aspiration-heart

Will always be accompanied

By the earth-loving Heaven-dwellers.

```

9925

```

Yesterday’s doubting mind

May become tired today,

But today’s loving heart,

Today’s aspiring heart,

Is not going to be tired tomorrow.

This is the conviction

I need from my soul.

```

9926

```

Do you want to follow God?

If you want to follow God,

Forget the human in you

And ask the divine in you

To possess you.

```

9927

```

If you are always satisfied

With your little self

And your life’s span is spent foolishly,

Blame not God

At the end of your journey’s close.

```

9928

```

The God-dreamer

And the God-lover

Together

Every day challenge

Doubt’s dominion on earth.

```

9929

```

Who told you

That you are unworthy?

It is absolutely untrue!

You are already in God’s Vision-Boat,

And He is piloting the Boat

Cheerfully and proudly. ```

9930

```

God created aspiration for you.

Can you not create determination

For yourself

So that your God-given aspiration

And your own determination

Can destroy your darkness-life forever? ```

9931

```

Since your heart has become

A perfect messenger of truth,

God will grant you a new vision

To watch His Immortality’s Victory-Dawn. ```

9932

```

Where does man end?

He ends in hesitation.

Who begins again

On man’s behalf?

God the Compassion.

```

9933

```

Humanity’s unwillingness-newspaper

And divinity’s forgiveness-newspaper

Both have a universal circulation.

Alas, neither has a universal appeal! ```

9934

```

He is among the aspiration-elite

Because every morning and evening

He sings a special heart-song

And dedicates it to his Beloved Supreme. ```

9935

```

If you do not want to learn

The art of surrender,

Then sooner or later

You will be disqualified

From the inner race.

```

9936

```

An ingratitude-heart

Does not realise

That one day it will be expelled

By its own soul

From God’s Heart-Home.

```

9937

```

Earth has to make a choice

Whether to accept

The promise of Heaven

Or the doubts of hell. ```

9938

```

You can run faster than the speed of light

In your inner life

If you invite your illumination-soul

To teach you how to live

Inside your own heart-world.

```

9939

```

No matter how kindly

His soul instructs his vital

About how to free itself from depression,

His vital every day enjoys

Being caught in a depression-downpour.

```

9940

```

Have you not heard

That God and your soul

Have recently formed

A temptation-prevention committee?

Would you not like to be a member

Of this unprecedented committee? ```

9941

```

Are you ready to be at war

With unwillingness?

Then God is all ready to grant you

His Eternity’s Fulness. ```

9942

```

His is the ego-life

That is ending.

His is the oneness-life

That is progressing, illumining

And fulfilling.

```

9943

```

The possibility-room

Must be kept open

So that Divinity’s Grace

Can be victorious

In and through your life.

```

9944

```

Ask your mind to be

A child of illumination

And not

A merchant of confusion. ```

9945

```

Are you not ashamed

Of making half-hearted attempts?

And are you not ashamed

Of asking for success

From your half-hearted attempts?

```

9946

```

God does not have to

Be in a hurry

To come to you,

But you must always

Be in a hurry

To reach God’s Compassion-Feet. ```

9947

```

Pray that God

Will not only use your willingness

But also transform your haughtiness

Into selflessness. ```

9948

```

Are you not supremely happy

Now that you have cancelled

Your reservation

On ignorance-temptation-flight? ```

9949

```

The mind wants to live in jail,

Yet every day

God’s Compassion-Eye

Does not forget the mind. ```

9950

```

You will be forgiven

If you sincerely need God

In the inner world.

You will be forgotten

If you do not care for man

In the outer world.

```

9951

```

If God is first

On your life’s experience-list,

How can your

Earth-transformation-promise

Fade away?

```

9952

```

It is simply impossible

To satisfy the cry of the finite,

Even with the Smile of the Infinite!

```

9953

```

Who invented disobedience?

Not the divine in me,

No, not even the human in me,

But the animal in me,

Definitely!

```

9954

```

The mind does not mind

If it lives in the superstition-room.

The heart minds

When it is asked to live in any room

Other than the aspiration-room.

```

9955

```

An invincible army —

Simplicity, sincerity,

Purity and humility —

Precedes him while he marches

Towards the Golden Shore.

```

9956

```

God has come down

To please man.

Will man ever go up enough

Even to believe

In God’s Compassion-Descent?

```

9957

```

Renunciation, self-abnegation,

Self-mortification

Are the old-fashioned ways

Of running towards God. ```

9958

```

God has not run out of

Forgiveness.

God has not even run out of

Compassion.

It is we who have run out of

Patience. ```

9959

```

If the mind is all you want,

Then God will not ask

His choice instruments

To illumine your ignorance-night. ```

9960

```

Why do you allow doubt

To be your guest?

Why do you allow your mind

To offer doubt

Its beautiful nest?

```

9961

```

My heart’s consciousness-river

Every day is flowing

Towards my soul’s illumination-ocean.

```

9962

```

If you want to free yourself

From ignorance-obstacles,

Then breathlessly love the fragrance

Of your purity-heart. ```

9963

```

Who is fond of the earthly food,

Doubt?

The human in me.

Who is fond of the Heavenly food,

Delight?

The divine in me.

The human in me

Is an earth-bound doubter.

The divine in me

Is a Heaven-free God-lover. ```

9964

```

Today

Your mind is dreaming

Of purity-songs.

Tomorrow

Your mind will not only learn

Purity-songs from your soul

But also teach them

To your vital and body. ```

9965

```

You can easily conquer

The limits of your narrow faith

If you can conquer

Your mind’s doubt-territory. ```

9966

```

I wish to see you every day

In your heart’s sincerity-garden

And not in your mind’s

Insincerity-graveyard. ```

9967

```

I love my divinity’s heart-temple.

It is there that I never fear

The thunder of the doubt-war.

```

9968

```

What you are

Is a peaceful heart,

But what you have

Is a bewildered mind. ```

9969

```

There is a constant tug-of-war

Going on between

His aspiring heart’s soulfulness

And his doubting mind’s bitterness. ```

9970

```

Everything in him is dangerous,

Especially his disobedience-life

And his suspicion-mind.

```

9971

```

If it is beyond your capacity

To invite God directly,

Then you must try at least

To invite aspiration-meditation. ```

9972

```

This morning

When his soul came to please him

At God’s choice Hour,

He lost his heart

In breathless tears.

```

9973

```

Your immortal childlike heart

God will be proud of utilising

In the field

Of His Perfection-Manifestation. ```

9974

```

Unless you can recognise

The mind’s tricks,

You will not be able to offer

To the world at large

Your heart-revealing God-experiences.

```

9975

```

The mind-suppliers

Are available everywhere.

I am looking for

Only a heart-giver. ```

9976

```

Now that your mind

Is suffering from inferiority,

Your heart may have to face

9977

```

Do not depend on

Earthly applause.

Depend only on

God’s Compassion-Smile. ```

9978

```

You have broken your appointment

With temptation.

Therefore, God wants to appoint you

To stand at His Illumination-Gate. ```

9979

```

God is always waiting for you.

Can you not at least thank Him

Soulfully

For His Heart’s infinite Patience? ```

9980

```

His life-boat is tied

To the Heart-Ship of God

At Perfection-Satisfaction-Shore.

```

9981

```

Insecurity-thief

Secretly entered his heart.

Impurity-robber

Bravely entered his mind.

Divinity-informant

Compassionately entered his life. ```

9982

```

I cannot tell about others,

But I do know

That God will be there

To cheer for you

When you love His creation

Unconditionally. ```

9983

```

My heart is crying

Not because you are failing,

Not because you are not trying,

But because you are all the time

Loving the wrong person:

Ignorance-prince. ```

9984

```

May my life

Only be

My heart’s God-surrender-smile.

```

9985

```

Transformation and perfection

Are two souvenirs he brought

From his visit to Heaven.

```

9986

```

How long will you ask God

To wait

For a permanent love-contract

With you? ```

9987

```

Perfection-power has the capacity

And is the capacity

To build satisfaction-tower.

```

9988

```

Your delinquent vital

Is destroying you.

Long before you are totally destroyed,

Try to rehabilitate your life. ```

9989

```

His soul has given

His heart today

The secret pass that it needs

To enter into

God’s sacred Celestial Abode.

```

9990

```

O my heart,

Sing no sad songs any more.

Sing only the delight-songs

Of God’s new Blessing-Dawn. ```

9991

```

Each time you meditate soulfully,

You can notice

A new wave of divine beauty

Treasured by your soul’s divinity-sea. ```

9992

```

Since I am a Dream of God,

Is it not my bounden duty

To help God transform me

Into His own God-Reality? ```

9993

```

Unconditional surrender

Is the immortal birth

Of a genuine God-lover.

```

9994

```

With your greedy mind of ambition

How can you ever dare

To enter the cheerfulness-zone?

```

9995

```

God does not want you to repay Him.

He just wants you to remain

A happiness-prince on earth.

```

9996

```

Only sincere seekers

Can apply for self-examination

In God’s Life-Transformation-School.

```

9997

```

When your heart is ready to love,

When your life is ready to serve,

God will give the start

And you will win the ultimate race:

God-manifestation on earth.

```

9998

```

My heart seizes

Each and every opportunity

At every moment

To please my Beloved Supreme. ```

9999

```

He may not know

God’s Compassion.

He may not even know

God’s Forgiveness.

But he does know

That he is for God. ```

10000

```

If you keep your heart’s devotion-magnet

Always ready

To attract God’s transcendental Light,

God will claim you

As His unparalleled successor.
