Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 126

12501

```

God’s secret Name

Is Forgiveness.

God’s sacred Name

Is Compassion.

God’s most satisfying Name

Is man’s perfection-fulfilment-dream. ```

12502

```

If humility nourishes

Your aspiration-heart and dedication-life,

Then you do not need anything else

To nourish your entire being. ```

12503

```

When humility knocks

At your heart’s aspiration-door,

Do not delay!

Immediately and cheerfully respond. ```

12504

```

Just one look

From his Master’s compassion-eye

Melted his mind’s iron resentment.

```

12505

```

Every day try to have

As many sessions as possible

With your silence-soul.

```

12506

```

My fully blossomed faith-heart

Has terminated permanently

My mind’s doubt-career.

```

12507

```

You have to force jealousy

To resign,

For jealousy never retires

On its own. ```

12508

```

An ingratitude-heart

Unconsciously drinks

Most dangerous death-poison.

```

12509

```

For the ignorance-mind

To spy and lie constantly

Is not at all

A difficult task. ```

12510

```

I love at once

Your ancient aspiration-heart

And your modern dedication-hands.

```

12511

```

I assure you

That not for long

Will doubt and fear-enemies

Be able to torture

My aspiration-heart.

```

12512

```

As each mind can produce

A loud sound,

Even so, each heart can produce

A most haunting melody. ```

12513

```

Between your journey’s start

And your arrival at the Golden Shore,

Do not allow doubt to roar.

```

12514

```

Temptation never deserves an interview

Either from your loving heart

Or from your searching mind.

```

12515

```

If the mind hesitates

To accept the divine light,

Then the aspiring heart

Is bound to stagnate. ```

12516

```

Without God’s boundless Compassion,

How can one cure

One’s fatal depression-disease?

```

12517

```

Can you not see

That your aspiration

Is extremely low?

How can you then keep

Your expectation so high?

```

12518

```

Each sincere seeker

Will, without fail,

Have a sunlit fragrance-flower

In his heart-garden. ```

12519

```

False devotion within,

True expectation without:

Alas, this is what most

Human beings are. ```

12520

```

Each time I learn

An obedience-song,

God lets me count

His supreme Blessings. ```

12521

```

You want to know

Where I prefer to live?

I always prefer to live

In the depths of my devotion-heart. ```

12522

```

Do not pay any attention

To your thoughtless mind.

Your thoughtless mind

Is a meaningless member

Of your spiritual family.

```

12523

```

God-loving aspiration alone

Can save us

From constant doubt-intrusion.

```

12524

```

You may not fulfil

Your promise to God,

But God is determined to fulfil

All His inner and outer Promises

To you.

```

12525

```

In my heart’s aspiration-dictionary

The word “failure”

Is never to be found.

```

12526

```

There is only one place

That gives me enormous joy:

That place is my heart’s

Devotion-intensity-room. ```

12527

```

A mind of impurity

And a heart of faithlessness

Can never live separately.

```

12528

```

The aspiration-heart

Always enjoys travelling

On a straight, swift road.

```

12529

```

The tears of the heart

Eventually reach

The highest Tower

Of God-Satisfaction-Delight. ```

12530

```

Is there any human mind

That has not suffered

The ruthless torture

Of ignorance-chaos? ```

12531

```

Only the true God-lovers

Are entitled to compose

God-Smile-songs.

```

12532

```

God’s future creation

Relies considerably

On His obedience-loving seekers.

```

12533

```

Although you have a brilliant mind,

That does not mean

You can escape

The blows of ignorance-giant. ```

12534

```

It is not an easy task

To erase satisfactorily

The doubting mind’s confusion-blackboard.

```

12535

```

Each soulful thought

Helps the heart soar

With newly blossomed joys.

```

12536

```

Meditation is by far

The best encouragement

For a beautiful and soulful thought.

```

12537

```

Not the forest-seeker

Of the mind,

But the garden-lover

Of one’s own heart

Can kindle one’s aspiration-flames.

```

12538

```

The soul is all the time

Inspiring and encouraging

The heart’s quick progress-march.

```

12539

```

A sleepless aspiration-heart

Is bound to collect

God’s Compassion-Harvest.

```

12540

```

At every moment

God is appreciating

Man’s earth-loving smiles.

```

12541

```

A seeker’s secret

And sacred treasure

Is his aspiration-dedication-

Heart-garden. ```

12542

```

My heart’s aspiration

Is always ready and eager

To carry my mind

Far beyond the domain

Of ignorance-frown.

```

12543

```

Genuine sincerity

Is bound to warn us

Of the meditation-negligence

Of our seeker-heart. ```

12544

```

Behold, behold!

My aspiration-heart

Is climbing up

My soul’s promise-tower. ```

12545

```

Behold, behold!

My soul’s joy is striking

Lovingly and powerfully

My heart’s determination-gong. ```

12546

```

If you are pleasing God

In God’s own Way,

Only then will you be entitled

To break the challenge

Of the mind’s doubt-thunder.

```

12547

```

Who told you

That I have nothing to enjoy?

My mind’s doubt-bankruptcy

Every day I enjoy. ```

12548

```

My mind studies

At the hesitation-school

While my heart studies

At the illumination-college. ```

12549

```

Whenever my heart

Is suffering from despair-pain,

I immediately bring delight-doctor

To cure the patient. ```

12550

```

The cry of my aspiration-heart

Is bound to be invited

By the smile of my illumination-soul.

```

12551

```

When I am my confidence-soul,

I can safely enter

Into doubt-fortress.

```

12552

```

No soul enjoys shopping

In the mind’s

Restless confusion-market.

```

12553

```

My heart’s aspiration-home

Is daily visited

By high-ranking Realisation-Masters.

```

12554

```

If your heart-boat sails

In the river of aspiration,

Then you are bound to reach

The realisation-destination. ```

12555

```

To make tangible progress

In any sphere of life

Can never be an easy task.

```

12556

```

God is blessing me

With something infinitely better

Than success,

And that thing is

A conscious and constant love of Him.

```

12557

```

Self-doubt is slow death,

And God-doubt is the quickest death

In the seeker’s inner world.

```

12558

```

At long last my human mind

Is no longer in collusion

With darkness-ignorance-thief.

```

12559

```

God can only cry for you,

But He cannot smile at you

When He sees

That you have deliberately become

A dying aspiration-flame.

```

12560

```

To unload the heavy burden

Of the past,

Invoke the flying banner

Of the God-loving and God-manifesting future. ```

12561

```

Unless you show God

Your heart’s meditation-wings,

How can God allow you

To walk hand-in-hand with Him? ```

12562

```

Man’s heart-cry is the beginning

Of his perfection-light.

God’s Heart-Smile is the beginning

Of His Satisfaction-Delight. ```

12563

```

Make up your mind!

When God appears before you,

Will you ask Him

For your own God-realisation

Or will you pray to Him

For His own Satisfaction? ```

12564

```

You have not thought of God

For a very long time.

Today God will send you

A compassionate reminder.

Needless to say,

God will not be the worst loser

If you do not pray and meditate any more

In this incarnation. ```

12565

```

Each new day

God starts in and through me

With a gentle persuasion

To become a better instrument of His. ```

12566

```

Each hesitation-moment

Can and will be devoured

By the frustration-wolf.

```

12567

```

Even one act

Of disobedience

Will make you eventually

The great author of failure. ```

12568

```

Alas, there is no dearth

Of doubt-dwellers,

But there is definitely a dearth

Of faith-lovers. ```

12569

```

Oneness-road is never lonely

Either in the world of aspiration

Or in the world of dedication.

```

12570

```

The misunderstanding of the human mind

Cannot be fathomed

By the wisdom-light of the God-lovers.

```

12571

```

If you offer your gratitude-heart

To God the creation,

Then you are bound to get

A foretaste of Heaven’s Delight. ```

12572

```

In the inner world

His Inner Pilot is a teacher

Of the unknowable.

In the outer world

He enjoys being a student

Of the unknown. ```

12573

```

O my mind,

How long will you remain

An absolute stranger

To my truth-loving consciousness-light? ```

12574

```

For a long time

I have been longing

To free myself

From the monotonous mind’s

Inquisitive detective stories.

```

12575

```

Is there any human being on earth

Who has never faltered

Under the weight

Of ruthless and ceaseless problems? ```

12576

```

There is no human mind

That cannot be successfully bound

By a thought-rope.

```

12577

```

To conquer your mind’s

Volcano-anxiety-thoughts,

Your heart needs

The patience of a tree

And your life needs

An intensity-arrow. ```

12578

```

The soul-king has two ministers:

The mind-minister and the heart-minister.

The heart-minister always

Cheerfully obeys the king.

The mind-minister often

Deliberately disobeys the king.

But the soul-king has surrendered himself

To his forgiveness-light. ```

12579

```

Everything God does very easily,

Except one thing:

He finds it extremely difficult

To revoke His Compassion-Credit Card. ```

12580

```

Man’s life is in between

His heart’s purity-roses

And his mind’s impurity-thorns.

```

12581

```

Every day my Lord Supreme

Unconditionally feeds

My mind’s concentration-bird

And energises

My life’s determination-wings.

```

12582

```

Be careful, O my doubting mind!

True, God’s Compassion-Height

Has forgiven you;

True, God’s Justice-Light

Will forgive you.

But I assure you,

Your soul-captain

Will never forgive you

For your deliberate misdeeds.

```

12583

```

Although you have miserably failed,

God has not yet decided

To stop using you.

Who knows, He may grant you

Another golden chance.

```

12584

```

I am so happy

That my heart never suffers

From hope-scarcity.

```

12585

```

You do not need a ferocious tiger

To devour you.

Your atrocious jealousy can easily

Devour you alive! ```

12586

```

Alas, alas!

My insecurity has enormous

Ignorance-receptivity-capacity.

```

12587

```

Every morning and every evening

My soul flies its hope-kite

In my aspiration-heart-sky.

```

12588

```

Every day I pray

To my Lord Supreme

To break asunder

My mind’s unwillingness-shackles. ```

12589

```

What do you actually get

From your unwillingness,

Save and except

Your deplorable unworthiness? ```

12590

```

O my mind, don’t be a fool!

Tell me if you will ever see

A desire-balloon

That will not burst eventually. ```

12591

```

Man unconsciously deposits his love

In God’s Heart-Bank

But consciously and cleverly overdraws.

And what does God do?

He plays His Forgiveness-Role

Most satisfactorily. ```

12592

```

If you cannot bring your sincerity

To the fore,

Then stay with your life’s

Impossibility-inferiority-stupidity-friends! ```

12593

```

If I sincerely believe

That I am my life’s

Constant unworthiness,

Then I am sure

That God’s Compassion-Eye

Will help me and guide me. ```

12594

```

Yesterday God came to me

As a healing Heart.

Today God has come to me

As a smiling Eye.

Tomorrow God will come to me

As a helping Hand. ```

12595

```

Do you ever ask yourself

The question of questions:

What will happen to you

If God ever decides

To withdraw from you

For your utterly shameless

Disobedience-mind?

```

12596

```

Do not overlook

The God-Height.

Do not overeat

Ignorance-night.

Do not oversleep

Your meditation-light. ```

12597

```

O stupidity-incarnate seeker,

Only God has the Heart

To enjoy seeing

His miraculous Eye

And your ridiculous life

Living together. ```

12598

```

God does not believe

In your promise-tower.

He believes only

In your aspiration-hour. ```

12599

```

Who told you that God-Satisfaction

Will not remain a far cry

If your aspiration-heart is not expanded?

```

12600

```

Mine is the heart that enjoys

Eternity’s aspiration-dreams.

Mine is the soul that enjoys

Immortality’s realisation-realities. ```
