Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 121

12001

```

The fastest way to reach

One’s highest height

Is to discover one’s own

Sky-vast silence-heart. ```

12002

```

The more I increase

My expectation-hunger,

The sooner I die

From inescapable starvation. ```

12003

```

If you are

Your self-limiting belief,

How can God bless you

With His Satisfaction-Pride-Crown? ```

12004

```

I really do not know

How a human mind,

Fused with confusion-night,

Will ever be transformed

Into Divinity’s Perfection-Light.

```

12005

```

I know, I know,

Just a flicker of heart-faith

Is enough to surmount

A mountain-doubt-mind. ```

12006

```

Hope is my success-eye.

Hope is my progress-heart.

My Lord, I would rather die

Than see the collapse of my hope. ```

12007

```

He is his own hyperbole

Of self-worth.

Therefore, the inspiration-mind

And the aspiration-heart

Have left him for good.

```

12008

```

Although my life-river

Is flooded with failure,

My life-boat will eventually reach

The Golden Shore. ```

12009

```

Undercurrents of doubt-opposition

Can destroy

A progress-promise-life.

```

12010

```

Am I such a fool

That I cannot see through

Your flattery-flavoured sincerity?

```

12011

```

Alas, the ordinary human life

Is nothing but an endless stream

Of ruthless suffering

From birth to death. ```

12012

```

How beautiful, how powerful,

How fruitful,

The revival of self-confidence!

```

12013

```

Even the flood

Of your mind’s suspicion-night

Cannot ruin his heart’s

God-blessed purity-breath. ```

12014

```

God tells the soulful seeker

That his aspiration-heart

Is very near God’s Heaven-Home.

```

12015

```

What I need is not

An army of resolutions.

I need in myself

Only one aspiration-perfection-soldier. ```

12016

```

If you care only for

Your service-perfection,

Then God will soon care for

Your complete realisation-satisfaction. ```

12017

```

My heart does have the capacity

To lead my mind,

But my mind is either reluctant or afraid

To follow my wise heart. ```

12018

```

You do know how to forget

Your morning meditation.

But can you not do

The most difficult thing

And remember to practise

Your morning meditation,

Which is God’s first meal of the day?

```

12019

```

May the divine in us

Always lead us,

No matter how unwilling

The human in us is

To follow.

```

12020

```

God does not mind

The slow pace

Of my inner progress.

But He does mind

When I prefer my outer success

To my inner progress. ```

12021

```

My mind is a confusing

Ignorance-teacher.

My life is a confused

Ignorance-student. ```

12022

```

If you live not in the world

Of child-heart-fantasy-blossoms,

How can you ever enjoy God-ecstasy

From your aspiration-heart? ```

12023

```

What I need

Is only a slow, steady and unerring growth

Of my God-manifestation-life-tree.

```

12024

```

No matter when it is or

Where it is,

The danger-power of temptation

Is always tantalising. ```

12025

```

Only a heart of love

And a life of service

Can be the torch-bearers

Of inner progress. ```

12026

```

Since you are still enjoying

Your mind’s ignorance-dream,

How can God invite you to participate

In His Light-Manifestation-Plan

On earth?

```

12027

```

Lord, do give me the capacity

To escape

From my scheming mind

And my unloving heart. ```

12028

```

My Lord

Has infinitely more important things

To do

Than to care for my cleverness-mind. ```

12029

```

God’s Heart is God’s

Compassion-Flood.

Man’s mind is man’s

Frustration-desert. ```

12030

```

God is secretly feeding

My heart-angels,

In the hope that one day

I shall starve my mind-devils

To death.

```

12031

```

The self-interest

Of the mind

And the ego-nourishment

Of the vital

Are always inseparable.

```

12032

```

No more shall I permit myself

To be a faithful follower

Of my past stupidity-mistakes.

```

12033

```

Surrender your will to God’s Will.

You will see that

All your disappointments

Will turn into unimaginable strengths. ```

12034

```

Because you are a stark fool

You cherish your championship

Of your failure-past.

```

12035

```

It is almost an impossible task

To find an oasis

Of humility-heart

In the vast mind-desert. ```

12036

```

How can you make

Any inner progress

When you do not give up your mind,

Which enjoys nothing other than

Constant confusion-unrest?

```

12037

```

Do you not know

That your present failure-life

Is tied

To your impurity-past? ```

12038

```

Even in the worry-market

I do not suffer at all

Because I secretly and safely keep God

In my heart-pocket. ```

12039

```

Aspire to become supremely good,

And do not waste your time

Enjoying premature

Progress-delight-speculations. ```

12040

```

God wants

Each human being to be liberated

From the stingy ration

Of earth-bound time. ```

12041

```

Aspiration is the

Indispensable jewel

In the crown of stupendous achievements.

```

12042

```

Exploitation of God’s Compassion-Forgiveness

Is humanity’s incurable

Universal disease.

```

12043

```

His heart is all happiness

Because his life has had

A full season

Without the reason-mind. ```

12044

```

From today on

I shall cheerfully and devotedly

Remain under my Lord’s

Compassion-Umbrella. ```

12045

```

We must not live any more

In the dim morning of humanity.

We must now live

In the bright noon of divinity. ```

12046

```

Nobody forced you

To be tied to your life’s ignorance-tree.

Free yourself,

And start climbing God’s Fulness-Tree! ```

12047

```

Nobody’s life is destined

To remain unprotected

From ruthless inevitability-sufferings.

```

12048

```

You have such inflated self-pride

That even God does not dare

To come near you.

```

12049

```

Alas,

He is always frightened to death

By the blackness of his own

Vital-shadow. ```

12050

```

The constant fear

Of tomorrow’s unknown birth

Is at once destroying today’s man’s

Imagination-mind and aspiration-heart. ```

12051

```

Only purity-hallowed moments

Can awaken

The God-seeker’s heart-blossoms.

```

12052

```

My mind,

Be not a slave

To your small and doubtful self.

Be a friend

To your giant and powerful self.

```

12053

```

If you sleeplessly live

In your heart’s purity-country,

Sleeplessly you will be blessed

By God’s Compassion-Bounty. ```

12054

```

No high victory,

No real satisfaction,

For a desire-life!

```

12055

```

Since you are among the chosen few,

God will finish

Your Heavenward race.

You just have to start. ```

12056

```

God

The Compassion-Giver

Needs man

The aspiration-tree. ```

12057

```

Because you are a feeble seeker

You are forced to ply your little boat

Between your mind’s suspicion-shore

And your life’s destruction-shore. ```

12058

```

Just ask yourself

Once and for all, in all sincerity,

Whether you are a tenth-class God-seeker

Or a first-class status-climber. ```

12059

```

My everyday gift to God:

A gratitude-breath.

God’s everyday Boon to me:

A Satisfaction-Smile. ```

12060

```

I am convinced that in the near future

My heart, my mind, my vital and my body,

Like my soul,

Will win the man-oneness-race

And the God-fulness-trophy.

```

12061

```

My most precious heart,

I simply cannot understand how and why

You have let yourself be confined

For so long

By your blind mind-limits.

```

12062

```

My mind is thirsty for attention,

My heart is thirsty for affection,

But I am trying to be thirsty

For perfection. ```

12063

```

Just try to love God unconditionally.

You will soon see how beautifully

Your life’s aspiration-transcendence-tree

Is flowering. ```

12064

```

If you are a genuine God-lover,

Then God will definitely make you feel

The weight of His disapproval

When you speak ill of His creation,

The human race.

```

12065

```

Even one soulful prayer

Early every morning

Can cure your spiritual malnutrition.

```

12066

```

Alas, because my aspiration-heart

Is not strong,

Its friendship with my doubting mind

Has turned it into a battered faith-flower. ```

12067

```

In the morning

I pray for the seeds of hope.

In the evening

I meditate on the fruits of fulfilment. ```

12068

```

Your Himalayan realisation

Can easily become

A temptation-chaser

For all God-lovers around you. ```

12069

```

Everybody will see

Teeming destruction-mines

If they walk along the doubt-road.

No exception! ```

12070

```

Delay not!

Soulfully invoke God the Compassion

To burst your mind’s

Over-inflated ego-balloon. ```

12071

```

Kick hard

Your body’s lethargy

If you want to grow into

Your soul’s ecstasy. ```

12072

```

God is His own God-Heart’s

Compassion-Service.

Man is his own man-mind’s

Ingratitude-practice. ```

12073

```

Alas, my mind enjoys

Doubt’s dubious future;

My body enjoys

Its excess lethargy-weight.

How will I enjoy

My divinity’s goal,

Or do I even have a goal?

```

12074

```

My surrender-life

Is the straightest line

To God’s blue-gold Fulfilment-Palace.

```

12075

```

Humanity is

Humanity’s corruption-bound vital.

Divinity is

Divinity’s Transcendence-Fount-Source. ```

12076

```

My poor mind,

Since when have you become

A willing victim

Of the doubt-monster? ```

12077

```

Peace-promises everybody makes

Every day.

Alas, peace-existence-life

Is still a far cry! ```

12078

```

For one Smile from God

Sleeplessly his heart cries,

Dauntlessly his mind fights —

Fights against his own ignorance-sea. ```

12079

```

You are telling me that from now on

God alone is your Eternity’s All.

I am telling you that from now on

You and your life will no more fall —

Never!

```

12080

```

What kind of aspiration

Do you and your heart have,

What kind of dedication

Do you and your life have,

If the test of time frightens you?

```

12081

```

God leaves aside everything

And runs towards me

When I live in my heart’s

Silence-tears. ```

12082

```

How can God’s powerful appreciation

Last for long

If your life’s aspiration-edition

Is very limited? ```

12083

```

Only a spontaneous burst

Of your life’s surrender

Can meet with God-Divinity’s

God-Splendour. ```

12084

```

Yours is a temptation-vital-failure.

Yours is a frustration-mind-disaster.

Therefore, happiness cannot be

Your possession-light. ```

12085

```

You want to know

If God is doing something special today.

Yes, He is doing something

Very special today.

He is celebrating the magical return

Of my long-lost faith in myself. ```

12086

```

Because of your heart’s

Ceaseless insecurity-cries,

God does not want to depend any longer

On your life’s perfection-promises. ```

12087

```

Now more than ever

I need the perfect perfection

Of my surrender-life!

```

12088

```

A true God-lover knows

That his gratitude-surrender-life

Is a one-way road to God.

```

12089

```

When do you have the time

To think of the world’s

Suspicion-mind

If you are living inside your own

Aspiration-heart-world?

```

12090

```

God is always ready

With His Compassion-Train.

When will you regain

Your aspiration-reign? ```

12091

```

The life of an aspiration-lover

Never suffers from desire-cancer.

Every day his life enjoys

God’s Satisfaction-Delight. ```

12092

```

Your mind’s illumination-perfection

Is not a far cry

Because your life is steadily heading

In the right dedication-direction. ```

12093

```

One dark desire is bold enough

To eclipse your heart’s aspiration-sun

For a longer than the longest time.

```

12094

```

Just because my mind

Is refusing to accept truth,

Do you think my heart will stop

Choosing truth — the only right thing? ```

12095

```

Satisfaction is no luxury.

It is God’s absolute necessity

In man’s life

And man’s absolute necessity

For God’s Heart.

```

12096

```

Because you are your heart’s

Genuine aspiration-cry,

God does not want you

To allow your mind

Near the revolving temptation-door

Of confusion. ```

12097

```

If you do not protect your purity-heart

With your security-mind,

Your life’s satisfaction-boat

Will never start sailing. ```

12098

```

Your life is doomed

To an insignificant end

Because even in your dreams

You do not care to satisfy

God the Compassion.

```

12099

```

With your heart’s silence-prayers

When you arrive at God’s Door,

He immediately opens it

And happily and proudly

Asks His Eye and Heart

To dance for you. ```

12100

```

Lord, do tell me just once more

That soon I shall be able

To please You

In Your own Way. ```
