Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 113

11201

```

I pray to God

To give me the beauty

Of an ever-steady mind.

I meditate on God

To give me the purity

Of an ever-ready heart. ```

11202

```

If your insight

Is pure,

Then your foresight will automatically

Be powerful. ```

11203

```

If you are ready

To accept God’s punishment

Soulfully and cheerfully,

Then rest assured

That God will grant you enlightenment

Sooner than otherwise. ```

11204

```

God and His faithful assistants,

His Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart,

Every day come to me

And clear my mind-jungle.

```

11205

```

Poor God and His Compassion

Every day suffer from

The surprisingly superficial words

And amazingly artificial hearts

Of this confusing and confused world.

```

11206

```

Two things

Are very difficult to preserve

For long:

The heart of gratitude

And the life of purity.

```

11207

```

Be not satisfied

With the mightiest possibilities.

Be satisfied

Only with already-performed

Purest inevitabilities.

```

11208

```

Each pure thought clearly shows us

That there is a new world

Of beauty, purity and divinity ahead

And also inspires the seeker in us

To pursue that new world.

```

11209

```

If you are good enough

To receive special blessings

From God the Creator,

Then you are also good enough

To love God the creation

In a very special way. ```

11210

```

Because your mind

Is unwilling to obey your soul,

You and your life

Will not see

The perfection and satisfaction

Of progress-delight. ```

11211

```

God the omnipresent Heart

Consoles me when I lose

On the battlefield of life.

God the transcendental Eye

Extols me when I win

On the battlefield of life. ```

11212

```

If your temple of worship

Is not made of your heart’s cries,

Then God the Smiler

Will never visit it. ```

11213

```

Allow not death

To be your breath-destroyer.

With your heart’s oneness-will

With God’s Immortality,

Allow death only to be Your

Eternity’s breath-follower. ```

11214

```

O my aspiration-heart,

Do come back to me.

You have enjoyed comfort-recess

For a long time! ```

11215

```

My mind’s doubt-friend

Comes to me openly.

My life’s frustration-friend

Comes to me secretly. ```

11216

```

God’s long disappearance

Will turn into

God’s immediate appearance

If you can uproot

Your life’s temptation-tree.

```

11217

```

If you think you are very busy

Praying to God

And meditating on God,

That means you are neither

Praying sincerely

Nor meditating on the real God. ```

11218

```

To sail my life’s danger-seas,

I invite my peace-friend

To help me in my boat.

```

11219

```

Quickly fly the years!

Yet one single moment

Can either increase humanity’s progress

Or destroy humanity’s success. ```

11220

```

When a God-seeker falls

Into the footsteps of desire,

His heart’s aspiration-flames

Can no longer continue

Climbing high.

```

11221

```

Surrender’s real test

Is when you discontinue

Your friendship

With your old friend,

Expectation-greed.

```

11222

```

Unlike human conquerors,

Peace, the divine liberator,

Can and will illumine the world.

The peace-emperor will never try

To conquer the world.

```

11223

```

Secretly

If you do not study

The catalogue of your weaknesses,

How are you going to know

How far away you are

From God’s omnipotent Power? ```

11224

```

You are fired by ambition

And not energised by aspiration.

Therefore

Your divine destination

Is a far cry.

```

11225

```

Try not to live

On unfounded hopes.

Try to live

Purely and powerfully

With manifested promises.

```

11226

```

If you offer your doubting mind

A compromise,

That will be the demise

Of your God-loving aspiration-heart. ```

11227

```

If you are willing

To approach God,

Then God will be unveiling

Not only your own divinity

But also His universal Divinity

To you. ```

11228

```

You cleverly enjoy

Your self-torture,

While God helplessly suffers

In you and for you. ```

11229

```

If you go to desire-city

During the day,

You are not allowed

To come back from that city

At night.

Once you go there consciously,

You are forced to stay there

Indefinitely. ```

11230

```

If your heart-temple

Is made of soulful prayers,

Then God will invite you to be

His Eternity’s oneness-player. ```

11231

```

You can win

God’s Satisfaction-Prize

Only when you have become

Your heart’s perfection-cry. ```

11232

```

A God-protected heart

Satisfies God on earth

With its dedication-smile

And in Heaven

With its aspiration-cry.

```

11233

```

When your wishing mind

Surrenders to your willing heart,

God grants your life

His all-fulfilling Smile. ```

11234

```

Unless and until

Each and every breath of yours

Is fully aware of your divinity-sun,

How can God entrust you and your life with

His earth-transformation-responsibility?

```

11235

```

When your aspiration-dedication-life

Is on earth

Only for the fulfilment of God’s Will,

Then you are bound to feel

That your success-life

And progress-heart

Are nothing other than

An effortless effort. ```

11236

```

God has not forgotten you

In His forthcoming

Manifestation-programme,

But you must not delay

In bringing to Him

Your realisation-certificate. ```

11237

```

Opportunity knocks

At our heart-door

At every moment,

But we have to transform

Our opportunity-dreams

Into reality-manifestations. ```

11238

```

If you are carrying

Your surrender-bell

Wherever you go,

Then ring God’s Victory-Song

Perfectly, sleeplessly and unconditionally.

```

11239

```

What can you do

If your mind, vital and body

Do not want to be introduced

By you to God?

You should be happy

That at least you are able

To introduce your heart,

And its cries and smiles,

To God.

```

11240

```

Do not accept

An interview with ignorance-king.

If you do so,

You are bound to lose

Your long-treasured divinity-life.

```

11241

```

What are you doing?

Why do you have an underfed heart

And an overfed mind

And a shattered God-manifestation-promise? ```

11242

```

If your aspiration is genuine,

Then it will save you

At every moment

From world-complaints. ```

11243

```

If you daily follow

Your heart’s meditation-dictates,

Then yours will be

A liberated mind

And an immortalised heart.

```

11244

```

Do not be afraid of climbing

With your soul-bird.

Your soul-bird will definitely

Be able to take you

To the highest heights,

For it has already been there

Numberless times.

```

11245

```

If a consciousness-catastrophe

Has taken place in your life,

Then pray to God

For His extra Compassion-Light

And His extra Forgiveness-Power.

```

11246

```

Your new surrender-life

Will before long be

Your God-promise-fulfiller

Here on earth. ```

11247

```

God has saved you

From your teeming success-pride-life.

Therefore, He expects you —

Your heart and your life —

To show Him a progress-smile.

```

11248

```

God wants me to visit

His Heart’s Peace-Fulness-Garden

Free of aspiration-charge,

But lovingly. ```

11249

```

This world of ours

Is full of sharp criticism-arrows.

These arrows cannot hurt

The peace-illumined mind

And God-intoxicated heart.

```

11250

```

Be brave!

You must control

Your restless mind.

Be wise!

You must guide

Your insecure heart.

Be pure!

You must see God

Face-to-face.

```

11251

```

When I stay

In my mind’s doubt-room,

I doubt even God the Lover

And God the Liberator. ```

11252

```

The ingratitude-knife

Of each human being

In vain tries to hurt

God’s Compassion-Heart. ```

11253

```

While you are on earth,

If you can become

A self-giving life,

Then you become automatically

An honorary citizen of Heaven.

```

11254

```

When I aspire,

I am not a burden to anybody.

But when I do not aspire,

I am everybody’s burden,

Plus my own burden,

Plus the burden

Of my all-loving Lord Supreme.

```

11255

```

Because he has

A divinely first-class heart,

He does not mind

Playing and singing

With a humanly third-class mind.

```

11256

```

Do not meditate

On your hope-life any more.

Just start meditating

On God’s Promise-Life. ```

11257

```

To pass your life’s

Ultimate examination,

Keep beauty’s smile

In your thoughts

And purity’s power

In your mind. ```

11258

```

You want to know

Who is that special Person

Looking for you?

He is your Eternity’s

Love-Emperor-Beggar.

```

11259

```

If your life takes a wrong turn,

Your heart’s aspiration-cry

And your life’s dedication-smile

Will definitely remain incomplete. ```

11260

```

The only task of humanity

Is to unburden its mind-problems

That prefer to live

Inside a dangerous cave

Rather than a spacious palace.

```

11261

```

If you need the wisdom-message

From God,

Then search for Him

Not inside your mind-room

But inside your heart-home.

```

11262

```

You want to run the world,

But you do not want to climb

The highest peak

Of consciousness-flight. ```

11263

```

A purity-life

Permanently pleases God’s Heart

And fulfils God’s Oneness-Vision.

```

11264

```

God’s Heart is silent

Because your mind is enjoying

Disobedience-restlessness

To the extreme. ```

11265

```

The saddest story told about me

Is when my heart and I

Are accused of being insecurity-ants.

```

11266

```

A doubting mind

Is a shameless threat

To your heart’s cherished tranquillity.

```

11267

```

You do not have to learn

Many songs.

Just learn two songs:

The patience-song of earth

And the promise-song of Heaven.

```

11268

```

Promise-seeds of God

Will sprout in your heart

If you can put your restlessness-mind

Permanently to sleep. ```

11269

```

Your incapacity does not make God sad,

But your unwillingness

Not only makes Him sad

But also gives Him

A severe headache!

```

11270

```

An unconditionally surrendered soul

Is undoubtedly

God’s perfect champion-messenger

On earth. ```

11271

```

Pray to God

Day in and day out

To unburden

Impossible expectation-frustration

From your mind.

```

11272

```

If you do not have the sense

Of a true God-server

And if you do not have the heart

Of a true God-lover,

How can you expect to be

God’s peace-ambassador

And peace-distributor

To His creation? ```

11273

```

Say to ignorance-night,

“I do not want to drink any more

With you, in you or for you.

Never!” ```

11274

```

For my Heavenward journey,

My purity-heart joined me

Long before anybody else.

```

11275

```

There is not a single day

When your mind will not try

To play tricks on you.

Try to befriend your soul.

It will save you,

Fortify you

And finally illumine you.

```

11276

```

At the end of temptation-tunnel,

The destruction-wolf

Greedily awaits your arrival.

```

11277

```

There is only one place

To find comfort-joy

And that is inside

God’s all-forgiving Compassion-Eye. ```

11278

```

Are you swimming

In ignorance-night-sea?

If so, be pure and brave.

Are you swimming

In wisdom-light-ocean?

If so, be self-giving and unconditional. ```

11279

```

If your oneness-heart is missing,

How can you have a fulness-life

To satisfy you?

```

11280

```

Someday you will be able

To escape your frustration-net.

But you will never be able

To escape God’s Liberation-Ocean. ```

11281

```

Beautiful are the wings

Of your heart’s dawn.

They will transform your life

Into God’s everlasting Day. ```

11282

```

Are you in

A self-giving consciousness-light?

Then God has come to you

And will be blessing you

With His Heart’s infinite Delight.

```

11283

```

Surrender your thought-world

To God’s Will.

Your life will be

God’s universal Heart-Delight. ```

11284

```

Why do you allow your mind

To enjoy its isolation?

Teach your mind

To enjoy the fulness

Of oneness-satisfaction.

```

11285

```

God is sad

That your faith-flame

Is wavering.

God is disappointed

That your confidence-heart

Is starving. ```

11286

```

Have patience in your mind.

Have poise in your vital.

Lo, a garden of peace

Is smiling inside your heart. ```

11287

```

What everybody wants now

Is an immediate satisfaction-goal.

What everybody needs now

Is his journey’s sleepless aspiration-soul. ```

11288

```

An ingratitude-life

God definitely forgives.

But this life

Is nothing other than

A barren desert-failure.

```

11289

```

You must love

Your daily discipline-life.

Then only will God grant you

The keys to His Heart’s Fulness-Door. ```

11290

```

When we have faith in God,

God proudly tells us

That we are His perfect instruments.

When God has faith in us,

We dare to tell God

That He is our own, very own. ```

11291

```

The only free man in the universe

Is he who consciously invites God

To be his immortal Guest

And live in his heart-room

Smilingly and blessingfully.

```

11292

```

If consciousness-light is your choice,

That means God is preparing Himself

In and through you

For your new mutual victory. ```

11293

```

Can you not see

That your doubting mind

Is enjoying nothing but

A stagnant complacency?

Are you so blind

That you cannot see

That your heart is enjoying

The preparation for God’s arrival-regency? ```

11294

```

The river of life

Teaches each man

That he has to learn

Either willingly or unwillingly

The oneness-song of the vastness-sea.

```

11295

```

He who has learnt

A long lesson in humility

Will before long enjoy

The Beauty of God’s own Divinity. ```

11296

```

A soulful smile

Is the nourishing food

Of love.

A fruitful cry

Is the fulfilling food

Of oneness. ```

11297

```

The way to human glory

Demands hard work.

The way to divine glory

Needs only one song to learn,

And that song is

The surrender-song

Of the seeker’s entire being.

```

11298

```

When a golden dream

Dances in your aspiration-heart,

Rest assured that God

And God’s Satisfaction-Heart

Are fast approaching you.

```

11299

```

How can you see

The beauty of God’s creation-life

If your own heart does not ignore

The impurity of your mind-doubts? ```

11300

```

If you are obedient,

God will tell you

What He is going to give you

Immediately.

If you are surrendered,

God will immediately give you

Unconditionally

Infinitely more than you can ever imagine. ```
