Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 114

11301

```

You can hear

God’s Compassion-Footsteps

Only when you offer Him

The fragrance of your silence-purity-heart. ```

11302

```

Only my gratitude-heart

Doesn’t give my Lord Supreme

Even a mild headache.

```

11303

```

If you cannot

Illumine your mind for good,

Try at least

To enjoy a life

Without your bondage-loving mind.

```

11304

```

In our aspiration-heart

Evolution gives us

The joy of the Infinite

And revolution gives us

The promise of self-transcendence.

```

11305

```

If you want hope-seeds

To sprout in your life,

Then transform your heart

Into your soul’s purity-nest. ```

11306

```

It seems to me

That both man and God are burdened

With possible, if not impossible,

Expectations. ```

11307

```

A doubting mind

In a thickening life-forest

Is indeed a short-cut

To self-destruction. ```

11308

```

Because you have made faith

Your loving and illumining friend,

Your mind — your enemy number one —

Will no longer come to play with you. ```

11309

```

God wants you to be

A constantly blossoming

Amateur self-giver.

But what you have done

Is so peculiar.

You have made yourself into

A professional self-pleaser

And self-enjoyer. ```

11310

```

Your dream of God-life

Is not a mental hallucination.

Indeed, this is your soul’s

God-manifestation-fulfilment-vision. ```

11311

```

If you are your heart’s insecurity,

Needless to say,

You are not pleasing and fulfilling

Your soul’s tranquillity. ```

11312

```

If you are planning to run

To Heaven,

First conquer your proud mind

With your humility-heart. ```

11313

```

I pray to God to grant my mind

Every day

A new inspiration-ladder

And my heart

A new aspiration-escalator.

```

11314

```

How long will you be studying

At the university of fear?

When are you going to start studying

At your heart’s confidence-school? ```

11315

```

My heart invites

Only God-loving souls

To be its most distinguished guests.

It never invites ignorance-enjoyers

And their dear relatives.

```

11316

```

A restless vital

And a suspicious mind

Eventually cause a series of

Life-destruction-catastrophes. ```

11317

```

If your life becomes your heart’s

Sleepless aspiration-hours,

Then God will definitely appear to you

As His Vision’s tallest tower. ```

11318

```

Not to be satisfied with the world

Is a malady of the mind.

To speak ill of the world

Is a worse malady of the mind.

To have no faith in the world

Is the worst malady of the mind. ```

11319

```

You do not have to do anything else.

Just offer your heart’s

Gratitude-tears

To your Lord Supreme.

His own Compassion-Light-Tears

Will erase the Himalayan blunders

Of your dark past.

```

11320

```

He who does not aspire,

He who does not serve,

He who does not love,

He who lives only

In his self-centred life-cave,

Is indeed a delegate

From ignorance-flooded slumberland.

```

11321

```

If you believe in

Your future perfection-delight,

Then God will definitely put you

On His Divinity’s Satisfaction-List. ```

11322

```

If you enjoy living

In your mind’s fear-forest,

How can God show you

His Heart-Beauty’s

Universal Fragrance-Garden?

```

11323

```

When you climb up the Truth-Mountain,

You see that God and His Eternity’s

Compassion-Fulfilment-Fountain

Have been waiting for you. ```

11324

```

He who lives a simple, God-loving life

Is chosen by God Himself

To fight for Him

Against devouring ignorance-night. ```

11325

```

A single God-chosen soul

Can stand against

Ill-fated humanity’s downfall

And carry humanity’s burden

To Divinity’s highest height.

```

11326

```

Who says that each success

Needs a failure-foundation?

No!

What each success needs

Is God’s unconditional

Compassion-Foundation. ```

11327

```

God and God’s Love-Smile

Follow only Eternity’s

One-way road.

```

11328

```

If an iota of faith-flower-fragrance

You have in your heart-garden,

Then God will come and bless you

With His Divinity’s Pride-Blessings. ```

11329

```

If your mind enjoys

Its doubt-confusion-fog,

Then how can your life be

God’s most faithful dog? ```

11330

```

Perfection-beauty in the human life

Is possible only when

We do not miss

Our daily aspiration-appointments

With God.

```

11331

```

It is high time for the sincere God-lover

To come out of his mind’s

Self-imposed darkness-night.

```

11332

```

A God-lover tries

To perfect the world outwardly

While loving the world inwardly

In secrecy supreme. ```

11333

```

In silence the peace-lover struggles

Against the sleepless

And countless complaints

From humanity’s mind-market. ```

11334

```

Every day water the faith-plant

Inside your heart-garden.

Then you are bound to see

A galaxy of God-fulfilment-opportunities. ```

11335

```

To appreciate another aspiring heart

Is to increase the fragrance

Of one’s own heart-garden.

```

11336

```

Try a little more compassion!

Your frustration-balloon

Will burst

And your heart’s satisfaction-flower

Will blossom.

```

11337

```

You cannot collect wasted time.

You must use your time, present and future,

To the best of your inner capacities.

```

11338

```

Do not feel shy

While approaching your Lord Supreme.

Do not be fearful

While approaching your Lord Supreme.

Just have a purity-heart

While approaching your Lord Supreme. ```

11339

```

You can never be too busy

To think of God,

For thinking of God soulfully

Grants you His Eternity’s Life. ```

11340

```

Living in your doubt-mind

Is as bad as living

In the blind night of self-torture.

```

11341

```

Peace does not want

To conquer the world.

Peace only wants to

Unconditionally love the world

For its own oneness-perfection.

```

11342

```

You must not hesitate.

You must not delay.

You must immediately uproot

Your mind’s temptation-tree. ```

11343

```

To sail the aspiration-lacking danger-seas

Is quite common

For those who live humanity’s desire-life.

```

11344

```

If you fall into

The long footsteps of desire,

Your God-realisation-hope

Will be nothing other than

A punctured life-balloon.

```

11345

```

Because you are fired by ambition,

You do not see that

God’s all-illumining Light

Grants you the real satisfaction-delight. ```

11346

```

Have aspiration-flames.

The world’s ignorance-problems

Will before long be solved.

```

11347

```

If your mind does not learn

Your soul’s silence-song,

Then your mind will never be able

To sound God’s Victory-Gong. ```

11348

```

If your heart does not take

The surrender-course,

Then your life will never drink

Nectar-bliss. ```

11349

```

Either bury your doubt alive

Or starve it to death

If you want to enjoy the beauty

Of your heart’s faith-garden. ```

11350

```

First pray to God devotedly

To claim you as His very own.

Then only will you be able

To claim the world as your very own. ```

11351

```

Even God’s Compassion-Eye

Will not invite your restlessness-mind

And frustration-vital

To come and visit

His Heart’s Illumination-Home.

```

11352

```

Now that you are enjoying

Your heart’s aspiration-light

More than ever before,

Your mind’s ignorance-night

Is bound to grow shorter.

```

11353

```

Finally you have decided

To abandon your ego-life.

Therefore, God’s Satisfaction-Delight

Has decided to live

Inside your heart permanently.

```

11354

```

If you want God to be hopeful

About your heart’s progress-march,

Then you have to throw

Your mind’s useless thoughts

Into an oblivion-cave.

```

11355

```

God and His Heart’s sadness

Will perpetually follow

You and your mind’s madness.

```

11356

```

When your mind’s fear

And your heart’s courage wrestle,

You must immediately help your heart

So that you and your heart can quickly reach

Your soul’s promised Divinity-Shore.

```

11357

```

O hope, my hope,

Where are you?

Can you not see

That I am

My heart’s helplessness?

O promise, my promise,

Where are you?

Can you not see

That I am

My life’s fruitlessness?

```

11358

```

God’s Oneness-Compassion-Eye

Wants to guide the world.

But we want our mind’s division-monarchy

To govern our lives instead. ```

11359

```

Every day you must take care

Of your aspiration-heart

And dedication-life

If you want to drink

God’s Compassion-Light

From God’s Perfection-Cup. ```

11360

```

Do not allow your consciousness-light

To fight with the world,

But use your consciousness-light

To illumine the mind of the world. ```

11361

```

The difference between man and God

Is this:

Man is searching for God

Out of his curiosity.

God is searching for man’s

Satisfaction-heart

Out of His Necessity.

```

11362

```

If you have a silence-cry

In your heart today,

Then you will have a sound-smile

In your life tomorrow. ```

11363

```

If you keep your perfection-promise,

Then God will definitely keep

His Satisfaction-Promise,

Plus give you His all-fulfilling Love. ```

11364

```

Your life’s dedication-branches

Will look most beautiful and powerful

If you keep your heart’s aspiration-tree

In perfect condition. ```

11365

```

God’s Compassion-Light

Forgives us every day,

Although every day we are convicted

Of doubt-jealousy-crimes. ```

11366

```

An earth-loving man

And a Heaven-serving man

Can easily find the pathway

To God-Satisfaction. ```

11367

```

Perfection-delight will always

Remain a far cry

Unless we stop our mind from enjoying

Its self-styled division-night. ```

11368

```

Who is deserving

And who is undeserving?

God is at once the unconditional Giver

And the unconditional Receiver. ```

11369

```

A true seeker is

A genuine member

Of God’s Compassion-flooded family.

```

11370

```

The mind’s darkness-cloud

Can be dispelled

If you value sleeplessly

The climbing flames

Of your aspiration-heart.

```

11371

```

How can you be

A world-dominating

Outer conqueror

If you are a sleeplessly crying

Inner beggar?

```

11372

```

The modern problem is

Constant relaxation.

The ancient answer is

Sleepless aspiration. ```

11373

```

My heart sings God-songs

Only after it has been blessed

By my soul’s divinity-smiles.

```

11374

```

What you call

Your little heart,

God calls that very thing

His big Hand. ```

11375

```

A true God-lover

Does not have to abide

By his mind’s decisions.

He has only to listen

To his heart’s dictates.

```

11376

```

Be careful of your impurity-mind.

Your impurity-mind can easily obliterate

All your God-loving,

God-fulfilling hopes. ```

11377

```

You must love and feed

Your heart’s aspiration-cries

More than anything else

If you want to demolish

Your mind’s huge doubt-walls.

```

11378

```

You can say farewell

To your failure-life

Just by starting the game

Of soulful self-transcendence. ```

11379

```

Do not allow

Your innocence-heart

To be exploited.

Do not allow

Your sincerity-mind

To be exploited.

Do not allow

Your simplicity-life

To be exploited.

```

11380

```

When I look at the face of Heaven,

I am completely puzzled.

When I look at the heart of Heaven,

I am immediately illumined. ```

11381

```

Do not go near him who owns

Jealousy’s volcano-breath

If you want to have

A safe, pure and God-fulfilled life. ```

11382

```

If your heart becomes

The manager of your life,

Then God will definitely invite your heart

To be an important player

In His universal Oneness-Vision-Game.

```

11383

```

You may think that God

Has forgotten your promises

Since you yourself have forgotten them.

But unfortunately this is not

And can never be the case.

```

11384

```

May my life-breath

Become the resonance

Of God’s Earth-Transformation-Organ.

```

11385

```

If you give God your heart’s

Dearest treasure, surrender,

Then God will grant you His Vision’s

Dearest treasure, peace. ```

11386

```

What you call desire-satisfaction

Is nothing other than

Your soul’s God-promise-assassination.

```

11387

```

If you do not keep

Your suspicion-mind-room

Under lock and key,

Then God will never be able

To give you

Your soul-reality’s victory-crown. ```

11388

```

Do you want to possess the world?

Then do the first thing first.

Pray to God

To possess you entirely,

Along with your mind’s desire-forest.

```

11389

```

Neither your mind’s doubt

Nor your heart’s faith

Can declare their victory

One over the other.

It is God who has to declare first

Who is the stronger of the two. ```

11390

```

You are living in tomorrow’s

False sweetness-dreams.

You must live in today’s

Soulfulness-promise-light. ```

11391

```

If you want to know

Who is actually serving God,

I will tell you.

Only those are serving God

Whose hearts are God’s love-lamps.

```

11392

```

God’s Motto:

Never give up,

Never give up!

Man’s motto:

Alas, I do not know

When I should start!

```

11393

```

Your mind’s determination

Wants to shake the world.

Your heart’s aspiration

Wishes to embrace the world.

Now you have to decide

Whom you want to follow. ```

11394

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart

Know everything except one thing:

How to take even a short vacation. ```

11395

```

There is no God-reward for you,

For you have not offered

Your selfless service

For God’s supreme manifestation on earth. ```

11396

```

You may not tempt anybody,

But you will be hated

Even by the person who has tempted you

When God-hunger arises in him

At God’s choice Hour.

```

11397

```

It is not your fear of God

That has shaken

Your faith-foundation in God.

It is your unwillingness to lead

A life divine

That is the cause of your God-desertion. ```

11398

```

Your desire-fire you must extinguish,

For that is the only way

You can earn

God’s Satisfaction-Blessings. ```

11399

```

As you are blind

To God’s Compassion-Light,

Even so, God’s Heart is blind

To your ignorance-night. ```

11400

```

God grants His infinite Compassion-Light

And Satisfaction-Delight

To those chosen instruments of His

Who never delay in serving Him

And manifesting Him

In His creation vast. ```
