Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 120

11901

```

My Lord asks me to give Him

My life’s sacrifice-heart.

In return, He will give me

The Blessings of His crowning Joy. ```

11902

```

Every day without fail

God sends a Compassion-Letter

To all God-lovers and man-servers.

```

11903

```

If your aspiration-heart is strong,

Then you can easily fly and fly.

You will not be caught

In the revolving thought-door

Of your darkness-mind.

```

11904

```

If your heart is all willingness,

Then your life is bound to breathe in

Ecstasy-light.

```

11905

```

Do not allow

Insecurity-thought-ants

To enter into your beautiful and peaceful

Heart-nest. ```

11906

```

Doubts ancient or modern

Have the same capacity

To destroy the clarity of the mind.

```

11907

```

I do not go anywhere

Without my confidence-bodyguard,

Who keeps away the world’s insecurity-thief.

```

11908

```

Your heart’s purity means

The full awakening

Of your God-pleasing life.

```

11909

```

If an aspiration-heart is genuine,

Then it can never be afraid

Of the mind’s ignorance-attack.

```

11910

```

A desiring mind does not care for

Either a self-giving

Or a surrendering life.

```

11911

```

If your heart is discouraged,

Then your life is moving away

Farther than the farthest

From God’s Satisfaction-Eye. ```

11912

```

Your aspiration-heart is always safe

In the company of its three best friends:

Love, devotion and surrender.

```

11913

```

An unaspiring heart and an insecure mind

Quite often meet together.

An aspiring heart and a flying soul

Lovingly sit at God’s Satisfaction-Feet. ```

11914

```

If you have a oneness-heart,

Then who can deny you

Your all-fulfilling universal peace?

```

11915

```

The moment you show God

Your aspiration-heart and meditation-eye,

He gives you His Compassion-Eye

And Satisfaction-Soul. ```

11916

```

My mind’s inspiration brightens

My heart’s aspiration.

My heart’s aspiration enlightens

My life’s dedication. ```

11917

```

A soulful heart-prayer

Is the powerful beginning

Of a God-manifestation-life.

```

11918

```

If you do not plunge into

God’s Compassion-Heart-Sea,

How can you see the beauty

Of your life’s transformation-smile? ```

11919

```

Every day try to memorise

God’s unconditional and

Compassion-flooded Messages

If you want to claim the highest Satisfaction

As your own.

```

11920

```

If you do not increase

Your heart’s receptivity,

Your seeker-life will be forced

To remain in captivity

Indefinitely.

```

11921

```

God does not scold you,

Not because you are perfect,

Not because you are aiming at perfection,

But because the God-Hour has not struck

In your sleeping life.

```

11922

```

With my heart’s flying faith-bird

I am longing to reach

God’s transcendental Compassion-Feet.

```

11923

```

When your dedication-life

Drives only along purity’s road,

Your destination will beckon you

Sooner than the soonest. ```

11924

```

If you want salvation

From your selfishness-insecurities,

Then every day learn

A beautiful, self-giving heart-song. ```

11925

```

My inner world contains

Nothing but fulfilment-smiles

No matter what happens

In my outer world-possibilities. ```

11926

```

Every day you find a new excuse

Why you cannot pray to God

Early in the morning.

God is asking me to tell you

That soon His Compassion-Net

Will lovingly catch you

And transform you and your deception-mind.

```

11927

```

The role of forgiveness in a seeker’s life

Is as essential as

The silence of the sky

And the power of the sun. ```

11928

```

Self-seekers go down and down.

And what do they see?

They see the God-lovers going up and up.

```

11929

```

What I really like about God

Is not how much He loves me

And how much He needs me,

But that He still continues to have faith

In the ignorance-loving world.

```

11930

```

Your constant disobedience

Has not only left a permanent scar

On your aspiration-heart,

But also a permanent sadness

In God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

11931

```

The seeker’s self-doubt

Is the strongest barrier

Between him and his real self.

```

11932

```

When God comes to edit my mind-book,

God is astonished

At my mind’s false accounts.

When God comes to edit my heart-book,

God simply loves

Its faithful and faultless accounts. ```

11933

```

Once you accept the spiritual life sincerely,

You are bound to feel

That expectation is an extravagant

And useless expense. ```

11934

```

What can God the Compassion do for you,

Since you are quite content

With your utter helplessness?

```

11935

```

A seeker is a climbing aspiration.

A seeker is a diving meditation.

A seeker is a spreading dedication.

A seeker is a gladdening perfection. ```

11936

```

Your life will emerge

Like the smile of the golden dawn

If you bid farewell

To your heart’s deep-rooted insecurity. ```

11937

```

Each pure and self-giving thought

Is an immediate open door

To formidable inner strength.

```

11938

```

The soulful cry of a single prayer

Can garner sweet dream-fulfilment

Heart-flowers.

```

11939

```

Because of your purity-flooded heart

And sincerity-flooded mind,

God does not mind working overtime

To perfect you. ```

11940

```

What your mind needs

Is an imagination-car.

What your heart needs

Is an aspiration-plane.

What your life needs

Is the only Satisfaction-God. ```

11941

```

I do not underestimate myself.

At least I do not have

This particular fault,

Like many of my seeker-friends. ```

11942

```

What is courage

If not constant awareness of God?

What is awareness

If not the cheerful acceptance

Of God’s Will as your own, very own?

```

11943

```

My Lord, I am not crying

For Your smiling Face

But I am waiting

For Your Command supreme. ```

11944

```

The bloom of your spiritual life

Will soon be withered

Because you are spending

A great deal of time

With your faithless mind.

```

11945

```

The oneness-heart-land

Is the place where

The unparalleled soul-beauty

Never, never fades. ```

11946

```

Before my heart grew into

An aspiration-tree,

I never realised that God’s Forgiveness

Was always free. ```

11947

```

When are you going to give up

Resisting God’s Will?

When are you going to believe

That your blind unbelief

Is bound to fail?

```

11948

```

God always prefers

My heart’s beaming joy

To my eyes’ streaming tears.

```

11949

```

Your heart’s sweetness-oneness-love

Can never disappoint

Either God or man.

```

11950

```

When God speaks

My mind may neglect,

But my heart always takes note

Cheerfully, soulfully, plus perfectly. ```

11951

```

A self-giving life

Is always at the heart

Of each and every

Fruitful progress. ```

11952

```

Do not doubt your heart.

Do not doubt your soul.

If you doubt them,

You will soon suffer from

The collapse of all your hopes.

```

11953

```

If you take any course

At your soul’s school,

Your life will be able to enjoy

Your soul’s illumination-freedom-sky. ```

11954

```

Be sincere, be pure, be self-giving!

Otherwise, your accomplishments

Will never bring true fulfilment to your life.

```

11955

```

Every day without fail

You must ignore your mind’s

Frustration-messages

If you want to be blessed

With God’s Beauty-flooded Nectar-Vision.

```

11956

```

If you are an unconditional God-lover,

Then you are undoubtedly

A pioneer on the impossibility-frontier.

```

11957

```

If you want to be a God-pleasing seeker

All the time,

Then you must accommodate

The birth of new ideas, new ideals,

New adventures and new promises.

```

11958

```

If you are

Your mind’s cheerfulness,

That means you are

Your heart’s God-fulfilling fulness. ```

11959

```

My love letters to God

And God’s Compassion-Letters to me

Not only liberate my human life

But also fulfil my divine heart. ```

11960

```

There shall come a day

When my heart’s peace-light

Will devour my mind’s empty anxiety.

```

11961

```

Alas, your demanding vital

Every day

Foolishly removes God’s “Welcome” sign.

```

11962

```

If there are any ill feelings

Between your aspiring heart

And your searching mind,

Then help them cement their friendship

Immediately.

```

11963

```

Each time I have an aspiration-cry,

God grants me a very special

And very fruitful boon.

```

11964

```

If you are eager to visit

Your soul’s homeland,

Then you must never disregard the power

Of your life’s precious time. ```

11965

```

Your unaspiring mind

Is responsible

For your unwanted thoughts.

Your undisciplined vital

Is responsible

For your repeated failures

In the battlefield of your life. ```

11966

```

Do not feed your ego-monster,

For it is always ready

To devour your heart’s

Beautiful aspiration-cries. ```

11967

```

If you want your mind to succeed powerfully

And your heart to proceed speedily,

Then your aspiration-life must start

At the ground level of self-offering. ```

11968

```

You must destroy your mind’s

Attachment-bonds

If you want to visit

Your heart-beauty’s satisfaction-garden. ```

11969

```

Your heart’s inner ties with God

Will definitely increase

God’s Affection-Light and

Fondness-Delight for you. ```

11970

```

God may not accompany me

Wherever I go,

But God’s Forgiveness-Light

Sleeplessly and invariably accompanies me

No matter where I go.

```

11971

```

Do not say “No” when God asks you,

Out of His infinite Compassion,

To serve Him

So that you can eventually become

A choice instrument of His.

```

11972

```

Meditation is the only thing

That can most gloriously replace

Your failure-past

With your fulfilment-future. ```

11973

```

God may break all His other Promises,

But He never breaks one special Promise,

And that special Promise is

His Heart’s immortal Forgiveness-Promise. ```

11974

```

Since human life is fleeting,

Each human being must offer

Something fruitful and abiding

To the ever-compassionate Mother Earth. ```

11975

```

Do you want to know what I am doing?

I am developing fast, very fast,

An aspiration-heart, soulfulness-eyes

And a self-giving life. ```

11976

```

I guard my mind

So that no uncomely thoughts

Can enter into it.

My heart guides my life

So that my life can

Cheerfully, soulfully and devotedly

Play with God.

```

11977

```

An open mind is needed

To see the flying inspiration-birds.

An open heart is needed

To see the climbing aspiration-flames. ```

11978

```

Without a devotion-heart,

To make the fastest progress

In the spiritual life

Is almost an impossibility. ```

11979

```

To be tense in your mind

Can never be the way

To solve any problem.

But to be intense in your heart

Is the surest way

To solve your life’s teeming problems. ```

11980

```

If your heart has the capacity to dream,

Then definitely, sooner or later,

Your life will be able to soar.

```

11981

```

Do not cherish frustration.

To cherish frustration

Is to roam along serpentine roads

That ultimately lead nowhere. ```

11982

```

You call it

Your loyal obedience.

God calls it

His Victory’s flying Banner. ```

11983

```

My Lord, when I make a mistake

Do strike me hard, very hard.

But do not crush me

With Your Indifference-Eye. ```

11984

```

Not killing others ruthlessly

But loving others affectionately

Is the real courage

In the battlefield of life. ```

11985

```

A soulful gratitude-heart

Is the fountain-spring

Of a genuine seeker’s aspiration-life.

```

11986

```

Even unconscious insincerity

Will steal away

Your God-given dignity-light.

```

11987

```

My Lord Supreme tells me

That a gratitude-heart

Is indeed a powerful crown

From the treasure-house

Of Divinity’s Perfection-Truth.

```

11988

```

Give God even a smaller-than-the-smallest

Devotion-plant.

God will grant you in return

The sweetest fruits

From His Vision’s Satisfaction-Tree.

```

11989

```

Consciously and bravely destroy

The confusion-night

Of your God-searching mind.

God will grant you the capacity

To welcome His blessingful Heart

And powerful Eye. ```

11990

```

Listen to the silence-height.

You will be transported to the peak

Of God-Satisfaction-Mountain.

```

11991

```

If you claim to be a genuine seeker,

And yet have not chosen the aspiration-life

Seriously, soulfully and devotedly,

Then yours will be a life

Of complete failure.

```

11992

```

The longing for quality

In your aspiration-life

Is absolutely necessary

If you ever want to satisfy God

In God’s own Way.

```

11993

```

Pray that you never give up.

Pray that you never surrender

To failure-life.

Pray that you can become

The Supreme Lord’s

Dream-fulfilling life-tree. ```

11994

```

Gratitude is an inner feeling

That we must never be afraid

Of expressing and revealing.

```

11995

```

If you have not learnt anything

From the experience of your mind’s mistakes,

How will you ever be able to grow into

Your life’s fully blossomed satisfaction-tree? ```

11996

```

To lose enthusiasm

Is to lose the beauty

Of the mind.

To lose purity

Is to lose the breath

Of the heart. ```

11997

```

If you are your heart’s

Never-failing faith,

God is His Heart’s

Ever-multiplying Satisfaction. ```

11998

```

Peace is ready to descend

Endlessly.

Ask yourself if you are ready

To receive it sleeplessly. ```

11999

```

To God you are beautiful

Only when you can show Him

Your aspiration-eyes.

To God you are fruitful

Only when you can offer Him

Your heart’s gratitude-tears. ```

12000

```

God will choose your life

Blessingfully and proudly,

If you just choose your soul

Cheerfully and unmistakably. ```
