Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 134

13301

```

May my aspiration-heart

And the music of my soul’s God-life

Always abide together.

```

13302

```

You do not have to restore

Your mind’s lost glory.

The mind’s glory will not help you

Approach your ultimate destination.

What you need is your heart’s

Self-giving delight

To arrive at your transcendental Goal.

```

13303

```

Simplicity, sincerity and purity:

These are the most precious resources

Of your heart.

You sleeplessly need them.

Therefore, value them

And admire their worth. ```

13304

```

He who does not surrender

To impossibility

Inherits the prosperity

Of divinity. ```

13305

```

You do not have to count

Your mind’s mountain-worries.

Just count your heart’s

Climbing faith-stairs. ```

13306

```

If you are a truly surrendered soul,

Then how can you have any time

To harbour your life’s giant sorrows?

```

13307

```

The doubting mind and the aggressive vital

Are doomed to remain

Wrongdoers and failures.

```

13308

```

If God ever asked me

What I would like to do

To be the happiest man on earth,

I would just tell Him

That I would like to do

Only one thing:

Run errands for Him

Day in and day out. ```

13309

```

To pick up speed

On his aspiration-heart-journey,

What the seeker needs

Is to make his life

A growing gratitude-plant.

```

13310

```

Your God-realisation-hope

Will never be fulfilled

If you live in your mind’s doubt-forest.

```

13311

```

How can God’s Satisfaction-Smile

Flower in your heart

If your mind leads a parade

Of uncomely thoughts? ```

13312

```

God does not want you

To be a flammable frustration-mind,

But He wants you to be

An available self-giving heart. ```

13313

```

Instead of asking your mind

To be a doubt-distributor,

You must ask your heart

To be a oneness-collector. ```

13314

```

I am sure that there is a better place

For you to live

Than your mind’s impurity-jungle.

```

13315

```

Now that you have severed

Your long-standing ties

With temptation-night,

Your life’s full illumination-day

Is fast approaching.

```

13316

```

What can destroy

Your heart’s faith-tree

If not your mind’s

Giant axe? ```

13317

```

If you want to have peace of mind,

Then every morning and every evening

You must enter into

Your fragrance-heart-garden. ```

13318

```

Do not allow your mind to foil

Your life’s dedication-plans

If you want to be a choice instrument

Of both God and man. ```

13319

```

All my hopes are badly damaged

By my life’s

Aspiration-bankruptcy.

```

13320

```

Alas, will there ever be a day

When I will be able to free myself

From expectation-burden?

```

13321

```

Nobody on earth can prevent me

From doing one particular thing:

Celebrating my lofty dreams.

```

13322

```

Surrender, surrender,

Constantly surrender

To God’s Will.

You will then have

Zooming self-confidence.

```

13323

```

Why do I need a heart

That is always absent

From God’s Compassion-School?

```

13324

```

Because of his oneness-love for God,

A genuine seeker knows

That there is no such thing as overtime work

In God’s Love-Manifestation-Office. ```

13325

```

Your heart’s promise-light will be able

To scale God-Heights

And here on earth you will be able

To enjoy a Heavenly harvest. ```

13326

```

Do not allow the insecurity-serpent

To bite you.

It carries slow but deadly poison.

```

13327

```

God immensely enjoys

Reading my aspiration-heart’s

Dream-diary.

```

13328

```

You have been banished

From God’s Pinnacle-Dream-Castle

Because you have completely lost

Your heart’s sweetness-innocence. ```

13329

```

If you do not revive

Your heart’s aspiration-life,

Then your life will become before long

A sad and withered death-flower. ```

13330

```

Just because you have escaped

The expectation-net,

God is inviting you to come and live

In His Heart’s Satisfaction-Palace. ```

13331

```

Your heart’s mounting aspiration-flames

Mark the glorious beginning

Of your fruitful surrender

To God’s Vision-Light. ```

13332

```

Beautiful

Is the prayer-river

Of man’s mind.

Fruitful

Is the aspiration-ocean

Of man’s heart. ```

13333

```

May my aspiration-heart

Eventually grow into

My divinity’s angel-song.

```

13334

```

When I pray most devotedly

And meditate unconditionally,

I hear instantly

A chorus of cheers in Heaven. ```

13335

```

God has no time to convince you

That your doubtful mind will be

The cause of your utter failure,

But He has endless time to help you

Keep your heart’s aspiration-flames burning.

```

13336

```

Do not say

That you do not like human beings.

Do not say

That all human beings are rogues.

Do not say

That human beings are not meant for

Spiritual life.

God does not want to hear it! ```

13337

```

Every day I pray to God

For His Compassion-Message-Light

To echo and re-echo

In my aspiration-heart-room. ```

13338

```

My heart’s aspiration-cry

And my Lord’s Satisfaction-Smile

Are always extremely fond of each other.

```

13339

```

In the morning

I place my aspiration-heart

At my Lord’s Compassion-Feet.

In the evening

I place my aspiration-heart

Inside my Lord’s Protection-Heart. ```

13340

```

My Lord tells me

That His Eyes are glowing

Precisely because

My heart is growing. ```

13341

```

There is no such thing

As an unforgiving

God-Heart.

```

13342

```

What actually challenges

The pride of ignorance-night?

Faith, our implicit faith in God!

```

13343

```

His heart’s manifestation-flute

Has too many holes in it —

Abundantly more than usual!

Therefore, it fails to produce

Any soulful melody.

```

13344

```

God wants your mind to aspire

Daily and faithfully.

If your mind fails to do that,

Then it will be found inside

Its own doubt-volcano.

```

13345

```

Cry and cry within!

God will remove

The bondage-ignorance-wall

Between you and Him. ```

13346

```

My Lord Supreme,

Is there anything that You

Do not want to know?

“Yes, My child, only one thing:

I do not want to know

That you do not love Me.” ```

13347

```

Patience, patience!

This is what I need for my mind

From God.

Patience, patience!

This is what God wants me to have

From Him.

```

13348

```

Selflessness purifies my mind.

Oneness strengthens my heart.

Fulness satisfies both me

And God in me. ```

13349

```

My mind, are you not tired

Of living inside a tiny

And unhealthy thought-room?

```

13350

```

Man’s outer world

And his mind’s fame-fantasies

Love to live together.

```

13351

```

Unless we break down

Our barriers of suspicion and mistrust,

A mind of peace will always remain

A far cry for us. ```

13352

```

Confidence, and not overconfidence,

We need!

Overconfidence is the beginning

Of our speedy doom. ```

13353

```

God tells each and every human being

That He will not accept

Their earth-rejection-letters

Unless and until they have finished

Their earth-transformation-tasks.

```

13354

```

Our insecurity-heart, alas,

Fails to see

God’s powerful Satisfaction-Eye.

```

13355

```

No matter how many times I tell myself

That I am a complete failure,

My Lord just laughs and laughs

At my utter stupidity. ```

13356

```

Each time I climb up

My mind-mountain

God fills my heart

With His Heart’s Fountain-Delight. ```

13357

```

Each undivine thought

Is nothing other than a storm-cloud

That threatens and frightens

Our aspiration-heart. ```

13358

```

My Lord Supreme,

I am making a solemn promise to You

That You will never see

My life’s footprints

In my mind’s desire-desert.

```

13359

```

May my life be found in between

My self-searching mind

And my self-discovering heart.

```

13360

```

Smile, smile,

Soulfully smile and powerfully smile!

You are bound to get back

Your long-lost freedom-days. ```

13361

```

Unless you desperately need God,

Your old frustration-life

You will never be able to reverse.

```

13362

```

God wants me to be always happy.

Therefore, He always shelters my heart

With His own Rainbow-Dreams.

```

13363

```

God definitely wants you to have

A confidence-start

So that your life’s insecurity-shadow

Cannot chase you. ```

13364

```

Your God-loving heart’s

Streaming tears

Will grant you a soulfulness-journey

To a fulness-goal. ```

13365

```

The God-seekers’ dedication-lives

Are God’s

Joy-blossomed Dreams.

```

13366

```

God will not allow you to sit

For your life’s perfection-examination

Until you have crossed far beyond

Your mind’s thought-boundaries. ```

13367

```

I keep my aspiration-heart

Teachable.

Therefore, my Lord keeps

His Satisfaction-Heart

Reachable.

```

13368

```

A desiring mind

Is very rich.

Every day it dons

A new frustration-garment. ```

13369

```

God never forgets to perform

His daily earth-Concern-Duty

To make human beings happy

In His own divine Way. ```

13370

```

My Lord, I need a new heart

Which will be filled

With nothing but gratitude-tears.

```

13371

```

How can you be happy

When you have allowed yourself

To be mesmerised

By your suspicion-mind? ```

13372

```

If you want to make progress

To your satisfaction,

Then never allow yourself

To be at the mercy

Of your demanding vital.

```

13373

```

Where is the difference between

An unfulfilled desire-life-blunder

And an earth-shaking thunderbolt?

```

13374

```

O my aspiration-heart,

Your most amazing ability is

Your constant sincerity-availability.

```

13375

```

Only an unconditionally surrendered seeker

Can place a person-to-person call

To God the Absolute Supreme.

```

13376

```

Nobody will help you

And nobody can help you

If you want to live and enjoy

Your self-doubt-prison-life. ```

13377

```

My Lord tells me

That I do absolutely the right thing

Only when I pay all attention

To the little inner voice within. ```

13378

```

All evil thoughts unmistakably,

Unceremoniously, plus unavoidably

Come back to the ill-fated sender.

```

13379

```

Each human life has two neighbours:

An ego-mind to humiliate the world

And a humility-heart to illumine the world.

```

13380

```

In the morning

My friend unparalleled

Is the sunrise-love-sky.

In the evening

My friend unparalleled

Is the sunset-peace-sky. ```

13381

```

Alas, where am I?

I am lost in between

My heart’s battered hopes

And my life’s shattered dreams. ```

13382

```

A lethargy-body-cart

Is not allowed to travel

On the heart-speed-road.

```

13383

```

A hesitation-mind

And a determination-heart

Are perfect strangers

To each other. ```

13384

```

My Lord, I do not know

If my life is changing

For better or worse,

But I do know

That my heart of love for You

Will forever remain changeless. ```

13385

```

If you are a true seeker,

Then every day you must

Increase your aspiration-strides

And decrease your frustration-strides. ```

13386

```

How can I ever be happy

Unless I grow into a lovely mind

And a lively heart?

```

13387

```

My Lord Supreme cries and cries

When I allow myself to be enslaved

By self-doubt.

```

13388

```

Alas, will I ever know

How hard my Beloved Supreme works

To see a soulful smile in my eyes?

```

13389

```

We human beings do not have to worry

As long as God’s Compassion-Height

Is stronger than His Justice-Light.

```

13390

```

My Lord Supreme,

I feel that the day

You do not scold me,

You do not care to mould my life

Into perfect perfection.

```

13391

```

The nearest and dearest is he

Who has pleased God in God’s own Way.

The farthest is

And will forever remain he

Who wants God to please him,

Especially his vital. ```

13392

```

It came to me in a flash

That God and God’s Compassion-Eye

Have been waiting for

My transformation-life

Since long before I consciously

Cared for transformation. ```

13393

```

When earth is ready

To introduce me to God,

God will ask Heaven to receive me

And accept my aspiration, dedication

And gratitude-flames.

```

13394

```

A neutral friend

Is not only a useless friend

But can easily be

The worst foe in disguise. ```

13395

```

Before my life-watch permanently stops

I must do something great

For Mother Earth

And something good

For Father Heaven.

```

13396

```

God does not mind

When you dare to defy Him,

But He does mind

When you do not care to edify yourself,

For you are part and parcel

Of His Oneness-Heart. ```

13397

```

God forgives me

Not because I am repentant

But because He wants me

To be competent

In the near future.

```

13398

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do not waste Your precious time

Trying to make me happy.

You have many things

Infinitely more important to do.

```

13399

```

I thank God that I have only

A stupid mind

And not an impure heart.

```

13400

```

My Lord, what kind of oneness

Do we actually enjoy?

“We share each others’

Life-breath and heartbeat.” ```
