Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 108

10701

```

I may not be or cannot be a member

Of God’s Vision-Manifestation-team

On earth,

But I dearly love the team’s

God-oneness-heart

And profoundly admire

Its God-fulness-hands.

But I do know and I do feel

That God will eventually make me

A member of His Vision-Manifestation-team. ```

10702

```

God Himself has told me

That there are no speed limits

On my self-transcendence-road.

```

10703

```

God is proud of me

Because of my life’s firmness.

God is fond of me

Because of my heart’s tenderness. ```

10704

```

Because I have overfed my body,

God is crying,

Standing outside my body.

Because I have starved my soul,

God is crying,

Lying inside my soul.

```

10705

```

If your unconditional surrender

Is complete, perfect and enduring,

Then you are fast nearing

Your God-realisation-zone. ```

10706

```

A barren nothingness is your life

Because you have strongly supported

Your mind’s unwillingness to welcome

God’s Compassion-Heart. ```

10707

```

Your mind’s jealousy-train

Will never be able to reach

Your heart’s purity-station.

```

10708

```

If you enjoy

Your mind’s jealousy-storms,

Then God will not grant you

His Divinity-Manifestation-Dream. ```

10709

```

My soul is showing me

The sure surrender-way,

The only way to live

In God’s Heart’s

Compassion-Inspiration-Nest.

```

10710

```

Since you are a victim

Of inactivity,

The temptation-snake has a free access

To your life. ```

10711

```

O my Lord’s Silence-Eye,

For You, only for You,

My heart’s sleepless

Gratitude-flood! ```

10712

```

A desiring mind

Raises expectation.

A self-giving heart

Traces illumination. ```

10713

```

O my arrogance-vital,

Do you not know that before long

You will collapse

Into a dark nothingness-abyss? ```

10714

```

Pay proper attention to your vital’s attacks.

You will see that nobody

Will ever be able to force you

Out of your heart’s aspiration-abode. ```

10715

```

This morning I gave God

What I had:

My openness-heart.

This evening God gave me

What He eternally is:

His Fulness-Victory.

```

10716

```

When did God tell you to live

In your darkness-hermit-mind-cave

And not in His illumination-flooded

Heart-Palace? ```

10717

```

My secret desire is to see

God’s Fondness-Eye.

My sacred desire is to give God

The fragrance of my oneness-heart. ```

10718

```

You want to know if I have

Anything special to show you.

Yes, I have!

I have my aspiration-love-flames

That play upon the Heart-Ocean

Of my Lord Supreme. ```

10719

```

This morning

God told my aspiration-heart

That it has nothing to do

With my stupid mind’s

Failure-peaks.

```

10720

```

My life’s Lord Supreme,

Today You are Your Heart’s

New Love-Forgiveness

And I am my heart’s

New-found faith.

```

10721

```

My God-loving heart

Is crying tomorrow’s tears

To smash the confines

Of earth-bound time

And fly away

Into Infinity’s Heart-Delight. ```

10722

```

Imitation can either limit

Your life’s ultimate capacity

Or awaken your heart

To the highest Reality. ```

10723

```

My long-forgotten aspiration-sun

Is once more rising

Because today I bravely dared

To lose my mind’s little “I”. ```

10724

```

Every morning my soul teaches me

A new surrender-song,

And every morning I teach myself

A new gratitude-dance. ```

10725

```

Be not your mind’s

Devouring negative tree.

Be your heart’s

Climbing positive plant. ```

10726

```

If your heart’s oneness

Is hard at work,

Then you are chosen to see God

Walking with His Sweetness-Smile

Inside your flower-heart-garden.

```

10727

```

The human mind cannot rest

Because it is constantly restless.

The divine heart does not rest

Because it has always something to do

For its Beloved Supreme.

```

10728

```

When God passes by me,

It takes Him only

Three fleeting seconds.

Should I not then think

Of His Compassion-Heart

And His Vision-Eye

Instead of thinking

Of my own insecurity-heart

And my impurity-mind?

```

10729

```

Who has written

My Heaven-climbing prayers?

God the universal Compassion-Heart.

Who is going to read them?

God the transcendental Satisfaction-Eye.

```

10730

```

Yesterday I was a great fool

When I took God’s Compassion-Eye

For granted.

Today I am a greater fool

Since I am taking God’s Forgiveness-Heart

For granted. ```

10731

```

Your heart is a whirlwind

Of anxiety

Because your doubting mind

Will never change. ```

10732

```

This morning God told me

Something absolutely new:

“My child,

Even if you are not inspired

To feel My Divinity’s Heart,

Try at least to be tempted

To see My Beauty’s Eye.”

```

10733

```

Yesterday God casually asked me

To give Him my heart’s gratitude-seed.

Today God is seriously asking me

To give Him my life’s surrender-plant.

Tomorrow God will unmistakably ask me

To give Him my all,

And that includes my little “I”.

```

10734

```

Not with the tears of your eyes

But with the tears of your heart

Will you be able to leave

Your bondage-life far behind you. ```

10735

```

If you are riding

The train of unending desires,

How can you arrive

At the hour of liberation? ```

10736

```

If you are

Your heart’s purity-perseverance,

You will hear

The soundless sound of fulfilment-song. ```

10737

```

What does God do

By Himself, with His own Heart?

He and His Heart

Together create Smiles

That span His own Vision-Sky.

```

10738

```

If you are only

A punishment-fearing seeker,

You will never see the Summit-Goal

Either above or ahead. ```

10739

```

Every night take a step back

From your fancied tension-life

To sleep with God’s God-Vision-Dreams.

```

10740

```

God openly and cheerfully

Enters into my heart-palace.

He secretly and sadly

Enters into my mind-cave. ```

10741

```

Your golden dreams

Are shattered

Because you enjoyed

Your mind’s doubt-schemes. ```

10742

```

What does meditation do?

Meditation brings down

The God of your life,

The God in your life

And also

The God for your life. ```

10743

```

Would you like to follow

A less complicated path?

Will you shatter the dreams

Of your stark uncertainty?

Will you?

```

10744

```

The deeper I dive within

The clearer becomes the gold mine

Of my heart’s gratitude.

```

10745

```

The seeker’s heart-cry

Is his escalator to go up

To his own highest height

In God’s Love-Fragrance-Heart. ```

10746

```

Every day cry

For illumination-light

And illumination-delight.

Otherwise,

Every day you will have to face

A host of temptation-sellers. ```

10747

```

An ingratitude-thought-ant

Is enough to disturb

Immortality’s love-flooded soul.

```

10748

```

There is no quitting!

Only rekindle your enthusiasm.

Indeed,

This is an unparalleled gift

That you can offer

Both to the creation and to the Creator. ```

10749

```

Have you lost the boarding pass

For your Heaven-flight?

If so,

Enter into your heart-garden

And collect some beauty-flowers

And offer them to the ticket-checker. ```

10750

```

Confusion does not have to be

The monopoly of our human mind.

It is also the powerful destroyer

Of our heart’s illumination. ```

10751

```

Each true God-lover

Has to be the standing record-holder

For selfless service.

```

10752

```

Your gratitude-life

May escape God’s notice.

Your surrender-life

May escape God’s notice.

But your love-oneness-life

Can never escape God’s notice. ```

10753

```

The inevitable happened:

My doubt-mind became

My life’s disastrous failure.

```

10754

```

Not by hiding

From God’s Compassion-Light

But by confiding

In God’s Forgiveness-Heart

Can and will a seeker’s life

Receive God’s Perfection-Light. ```

10755

```

The main reason

For my being here on earth

Is to see God smiling sleeplessly

In His Beauty’s creation-flower:

Man.

```

10756

```

Centuries of corrupt power

Have finally discovered

That they have done nothing other

Than lay a frustration-foundation. ```

10757

```

Do you want to invent

A new name for God?

Then clip immediately the wings

Of your God-oneness unwillingness-bird. ```

10758

```

His sweet breath of sincerity

Has stopped his mind

From feeding the fantasies of fame.

```

10759

```

Live not in the heart

Of false hope.

Live not in the mind

Of false disappointment.

If you live in these two places,

You will be inducted into

The hall of stupidity-fame.

```

10760

```

My sure life-sincerity-sun

Has collected a plethora

Of earth-illumining

And soul-fulfilling memories. ```

10761

```

The ancient question is:

Can God ever be seen?

The modern answer is:

God can be seen

And played with,

But He is not loved.

Perhaps He does not have to be loved.

```

10762

```

Only a self-conquering sprinter’s heart

Can run quickly through the crowded hall

Of hesitation-life.

```

10763

```

Hope-guest

Always pays a fleeting visit

To both man’s mind-jungle

And his heart-garden. ```

10764

```

How can a stupidity-collecting mind

Go beyond grief-futility-domain

And self-destruction-night?

```

10765

```

What man’s mind demands,

God’s Heart will not supply.

What man’s heart invokes,

God’s Heart will supply

In infinitely greater measure

Than man’s heart can ever need. ```

10766

```

God is happy

Because He has

His Eternity’s unreserved Heart.

Man is pleased

Because he has

His impurity-flooded mind.

```

10767

```

If you are not ready

To forget your impurity-past,

How can you expect God

To liberate you from

Your poverty-stricken aspiration-life?

```

10768

```

Never pay any attention

To doubt’s point of view.

Its strength is not enough to carry

Even an iota of truth-weight. ```

10769

```

Unless you are sick

Of your mind-dissatisfaction,

You will not feel the feather-touch

Of God’s

Sweetness-Forgiveness-Oneness-Light.

```

10770

```

Your constant aspiration-heart

Unmistakably claims protection

From your uncertainty-mind.

```

10771

```

If your mind makes friends

With a time bomb,

How can you not be acquainted

With infinite sufferings? ```

10772

```

Only the heart’s

Sweetness and fondness-tears

Can procure admission to God’s

Compassion-Illumination-Heart-Home. ```

10773

```

What does insincerity-heart do?

What does impurity-mind do?

Together they spread and spread

Futility’s lethargy-plague. ```

10774

```

God creates His Vision-Soul-Birds

To sing with Him

His Heart’s Fulness-Fountain-Songs.

```

10775

```

The landlord of the heart-room

Is extremely strict.

He only allows the faith-tenant

To live there. ```

10776

```

If you can play

On your life’s transcendence-violin,

Only then will God grant you

His Heart’s Nectar-Nest. ```

10777

```

The seeker’s soulfulness-heart-shops

Are always open

To both God the Dreamer

And God the Lover. ```

10778

```

If you do not want insecurity-insects

To bite you,

Then every day

Learn a new cheerfulness-song

From God the Compassion-Illumination-Singer.

```

10779

```

How can you expect God

To wait for you

With His Illumination,

If you allow your life to be

Your mind’s desire-weight?

```

10780

```

Every day if you sing

Your heart’s oneness-song,

Then God will grant you

His own Heart’s Satisfaction-Song. ```

10781

```

All the keys are available

Either here or elsewhere,

But your life’s gratitude-heart-key

Is not to be found

Anywhere.

```

10782

```

If there is no enthusiasm

In the seeker’s heart,

Then he will never be able to enjoy

The God-Beauty of God’s

Birthless and deathless Time.

```

10783

```

Each realisation-bird has the capacity

To build a God-worshipping nest

Where blossoms God-Beauty’s Smile.

```

10784

```

My soul runs

On Heaven-Beauty’s road.

My heart runs

On earth-beauty’s road.

My mind runs

On life-curiosity’s road. ```

10785

```

Every time you forget to think of God,

God becomes

An unnecessary need in your life

And your heart’s oneness-cord with God

Is weakened.

```

10786

```

If you go to your mind’s

Doubt-meetings,

You are bound to lose

Your life’s God-pleasing

Brightness-dawn.

```

10787

```

I have seen many things in my life,

And many more things I shall see.

But one thing I have not seen

And, alas, shall never see,

And that is my mind’s

Climbing aspiration-steps. ```

10788

```

If you are your heart’s gratitude,

Then God will give you His own Hand

To sound your and your God’s

Victory-Gong. ```

10789

```

When you ask your mind

To show you the enlightenment-apartment,

It takes you immediately

Into its darkness-basement

And tells you

This is what you actually need. ```

10790

```

If you can uproot

Your mind’s long-cherished

Impurity-poison-tree,

God will grant you His Soul’s Sun

And His Heart’s Sunshine.

```

10791

```

Can you not see

That God has given you

Two invaluable things?

He has given you faith

To chase doubt.

He has given you confidence

To hire happiness.

```

10792

```

Your heart’s willingness-eye

Can serve at once

Both God the Dreamer

And man the seeker. ```

10793

```

If there is no devotion

In your heart,

Your life will never see

God-Beauty’s Sunrise. ```

10794

```

If you can bury

Your self-esteem,

God will grant you

His Heart of Satisfaction-Delight. ```

10795

```

One breathless moment

Can transform the doubter

In your mind

Into the God-lover

In your heart.

```

10796

```

Nobody asked you

To be in the grip

Of temptation-torture.

Nobody asked you

To remain in the thickness

Of desire-forest. ```

10797

```

If you can consciously remain

In God-Eternity’s Compassion-Home,

Then your mind will not pass through

A throng of thought-lives,

And you will not see

The quarrelling, fighting and strangling

Between life and death.

```

10798

```

There is not

A single human being on earth

Who does not and cannot love

The whispering wings of hope-bird

In his heart-garden.

```

10799

```

Because your heart

Is enchanted with expectation,

Your mind will be

Frustrated with confusion. ```

10800

```

O my imprisoned soul-love-bird,

Come out and fly

In your Supreme Lord’s

Silence-flooded Freedom-Sky. ```
