Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 138

13701

```

May my heart

At every moment

Grow into the spreading wings

Of oneness-peace. ```

13702

```

The stupid mind just wants

To win a certificate,

Even if it is

A suspicion-certificate. ```

13703

```

An unseen Hand guides me

Day and night.

Therefore, I am not forced to wander

In the jungle of useless thoughts. ```

13704

```

If you devotedly cultivate

Surrender-soil,

Then God will gladly tell you

All His life-stories. ```

13705

```

You cannot catch

The perfection-bird.

You are allowed

Only to fly with it. ```

13706

```

What is doubt?

It is something

That can be thrown ruthlessly

Into the sea of nowhere. ```

13707

```

Is there anybody

Who has not suffered

The attacks

Of disappointment-squadrons? ```

13708

```

Your God-thirsty heart

Will eventually enjoy

The intimacy of God’s Heart-Home

As long as it continues

To cry for God.

```

13709

```

The wise heart always wants

To follow the soul,

But the foolish mind

Never wants to! ```

13710

```

Inspiration is the beauty

Of climbing hopes

And illumining promises.

```

13711

```

You want to know

What I shall leave behind

As my legacy?

I shall leave behind

Only one thing:

A legacy of self-giving gratitude. ```

13712

```

He who flies

On the wings of willingness

Will not miss

The fulfilment-train. ```

13713

```

My self-transcendence-will

Knows no impossibility-limit.

It embodies

God-manifestation-delight

On earth.

```

13714

```

Each and every seeker

Will eventually surrender

To a self-giving

God-fulfilment-life. ```

13715

```

You are happy because

You have done the right thing

By soulfully renewing

Your wisdom-library card. ```

13716

```

O my heart, be not sad,

Even though most of the time

Your expectation-trains

Do not reach their destination. ```

13717

```

Unless you use

Your heart’s soulful faith,

You will not be able to change

Your life’s fearful fate. ```

13718

```

To become a champion-soul,

What you need is

A receptivity-heart

And a willingness-mind. ```

13719

```

Each unhealthy thought

Is nothing other than

A withering life-flower.

```

13720

```

There is a place

For every soulful promise,

And that place is

In the Heart of God’s Smile. ```

13721

```

Your victory is certain,

For even your mind

Is now bubbling over

With fearless and sleepless enthusiasm. ```

13722

```

O human mind,

When will you stop enjoying

Negativity-frown?

```

13723

```

Faith-blossoming faith,

Illumining faith and fulfilling faith —

It is you alone

Who have given me

The beauty of intuition-horizon.

```

13724

```

Sometimes it seems to God

That the human race

Has been spiritually paralysed

Right from the beginning of creation. ```

13725

```

If you always look ahead of you,

Then failure-darkness

Will not be able to shadow

The beauty of your heart-garden. ```

13726

```

Perfection dawns

When my powerful actions

Proclaim my soulful beliefs.

```

13727

```

Greatness

The mind quickly wants to earn.

Goodness

The heart slowly wants to earn.

Perfection

The life carefully wants to earn. ```

13728

```

My faith-flower-heart

Embodies

My life-transformation-fragrance.

```

13729

```

My wholehearted forgiveness

Helps my perfection rapidly grow

In God’s Satisfaction-Light.

```

13730

```

If you consciously enjoy

Your tiredness,

You will never be able to wear

Victory’s garland. ```

13731

```

If you want greatness,

Then enter into

Earth’s mind-room.

If you want goodness,

Then enter into

Heaven’s heart-home. ```

13732

```

Each soulful thought

Brings us into the Presence

Of our Lord Supreme.

```

13733

```

Possession is man’s

First desire.

Renunciation may be man’s

Second desire.

But perfection should be man’s

Third and last desire. ```

13734

```

Constant self-offering

Is indeed a cure

For man’s sleepless self-indulgence.

```

13735

```

There will be no end

To your walking

If you either consciously or unconsciously

Walk along the road of desire. ```

13736

```

When my thought becomes action,

My Lord becomes

Immediate Satisfaction.

```

13737

```

When man touches

God’s Feet,

He regains his forgotten paradise.

```

13738

```

Each time a desire is fulfilled,

It indefinitely delays

Our unconditional surrender

To God’s Will. ```

13739

```

He who does not accept

The challenge of responsibility-duty,

Cannot go far

Along life’s fulfilment-road. ```

13740

```

If you turn a deaf ear

To your heart’s message-light,

Satisfaction-plant cannot grow

Inside your heart-garden. ```

13741

```

Complete faith

In God’s Compassion

Should be a top priority

Of each individual life. ```

13742

```

Unless you develop

Obedience-receptivity,

God will not and cannot

Satisfy Himself

In and through you.

```

13743

```

When you can dismiss

Each desire of yours,

God’s Manifestation-Eye

Will smile at you. ```

13744

```

Use your willingness-wings!

Your life will be able to fly

In the blue sky of Infinity.

```

13745

```

Silence, silence, silence,

If you want illumination

In your mind,

If you want realisation

In your heart

And if you want perfection

In your life!

```

13746

```

Now that your mind’s

Doubt-nights are gone,

Your heart’s faith-days

Will fast approach you. ```

13747

```

You can transform your life

If you avail yourself

Of your inner obedience-opportunity

At every moment. ```

13748

```

If you are not totally self-giving

In your spiritual life,

Your mind’s sincerity

Will be under investigation,

Your heart’s purity

Will be under investigation

And even your soul’s divinity

Will be under investigation. ```

13749

```

If you have gratitude in your heart

And obedience in your mind,

Then your life-songs

Will be full of soul-stirring melodies. ```

13750

```

Your mind will soon be illumined

By your soul’s light

Because your life is now at war

With unwillingness. ```

13751

```

Your complacency-life

And God’s expectation

Of your life’s perfection

Can never be seen together. ```

13752

```

He who expects constantly

Suffers unimaginably

From the earth’s unwillingness-forces.

```

13753

```

Now that you have graduated

From God’s Obedience-School,

Your mind’s success

And your heart’s progress

Will be unlimited.

```

13754

```

To be earth-bound

By attachments

Is to be mercilessly enslaved

By insecurity. ```

13755

```

Tame, tame and tame

Your mind-monkey

If you want to enjoy

The divinity of silence-light. ```

13756

```

Your counterfeit compassion

Will neither illumine

My mind’s search

Nor feed

My heart’s hunger.

```

13757

```

There is nothing

That can transcend your heart’s

Ever-transcending radiance.

```

13758

```

O purity’s rainbow-sky,

How I wish I could fly

Every day

In your measureless expanse! ```

13759

```

The doubt-worlds

Are not worthy

Of a God-seeker’s attention.

```

13760

```

Your constant unwillingness-negativity-mind

Is nothing short of your unworthiness

In the Kingdom of Divine Life.

```

13761

```

Be constantly self-giving

If you want to be happy.

Then you will not be forced

To experience expectation-hunger. ```

13762

```

Confront your self-doubts!

Be brave!

They are bound to be vanquished.

```

13763

```

Your purity-heart is blossoming.

Therefore, God is blessing you

With His Satisfaction-Smile.

```

13764

```

O purity-beauty,

O purity-divinity,

O purity-immortality,

My sleepless heart longs for you.

Do tell me where you are!

```

13765

```

Is there anybody

Who is not forced to learn

Some insecurity-songs

During his entire lifetime? ```

13766

```

Do not allow your mind’s

Desire-hunger

To collide with your heart’s

Constantly blossoming peace. ```

13767

```

There should always be a distance

Longer than the longest

Between you and doubt.

```

13768

```

Be not lost

Between your mind’s unwillingness

And your heart’s enthusiasm.

Choose your heart.

Remain in your heart,

With your heart

And for your heart.

```

13769

```

It is not an easy task

To muster the courage

To surrender consciously and soulfully

To God’s Will. ```

13770

```

Now that you have passed

The willingness-examination,

Your life’s perfection

Cannot remain a far cry. ```

13771

```

I call it my aspiration-life.

God calls it His Eternity’s

Perfection-Satisfaction-Journey.

```

13772

```

Self-indulgence is

An insatiable thirst

That can never be quenched.

```

13773

```

He who deliberately lives

In ignorance-night

Wants to destroy the beauty

Of freedom-light. ```

13774

```

The darkness of ignorance

Cannot devour

The beauty, light and delight

Of the rising sun. ```

13775

```

My heart’s purity-flames

Will one day dance with

The twinkling stars of Heaven.

This is the hope-promise

I treasure.

```

13776

```

I love sorrow-sweetness

Because it at once

Purifies my heart

And illumines my mind. ```

13777

```

O my heart’s hope-river,

May you always remain

Close, visible and available!

```

13778

```

Depression-darkness

And hope-enthusiasm

Speak in two

Totally different languages. ```

13779

```

A powerful promise-heart

Can freely fly

In Heaven’s vastness

And fulness-sky. ```

13780

```

You have two soulful eyes

Of hope.

You have two powerful arms

Of promise.

Therefore, nothing and nobody

Can obstruct your way

To Infinity’s Shore.

```

13781

```

My hope may die,

But not my promise.

My promise may die,

But not my Lord’s

Dream-Fulfilment-Reality

In and through me. ```

13782

```

My Lord,

You do not have to prove to me

That You love me.

But do give me the capacity

To prove to You

That I love You. ```

13783

```

My Lord,

Every day I long to swim

In the river of

Your measureless Compassion-Smiles. ```

13784

```

Is there any division-mind

That does not need God?

Is there any oneness-heart

That God does not need? ```

13785

```

Doubt-freed,

My mind has at last decided

To sing and play

In freedom’s fragrance-garden. ```

13786

```

Every peace-blossoming heart

Is a chosen instrument

Of the Absolute Lord Supreme.

```

13787

```

O whispering voice of delight,

Do accept

My heart’s streaming tears.

```

13788

```

An unconditionally surrendered

God-seeker

Is bound to arrive quickly

At God’s Promise-Fulfilment-Shore. ```

13789

```

Live in the heart’s purity;

You will see paradise everywhere.

Live in the mind’s impurity;

You will see prison everywhere. ```

13790

```

Each soulful thought

Is a conscious self-giving service

To the Lord Supreme.

```

13791

```

A wisdom-deserted mind

Dares to do everything,

But fails

In each and every attempt. ```

13792

```

The human body

Is nothing but

A tiny, fragile earth-cottage.

How can it last indefinitely? ```

13793

```

A sincerely aspiring life

Cannot be separated

From undying gratitude

To the Absolute Supreme. ```

13794

```

God-manifestation-message-light

You receive from God

Only when you satisfy God

With your Heavenward aspiration. ```

13795

```

You and your soul-river

Can and will enter

Into the ocean of light

Only after you have shed

Infinite gratitude-heart-tears.

```

13796

```

With my life’s simplicity

I go to God.

With my mind’s sincerity

I speak to God.

With my heart’s purity

I listen to God. ```

13797

```

When you give what you have

And what you are to God,

God immediately grants you

His Ecstasy-Boon. ```

13798

```

A universal peace

Has always been

Humanity’s most ancient need.

```

13799

```

A peace-blossoming heart

Is the beginning of perfection

In human nature.

```

13800

```

My Lord,

No matter how hard I try

To turn away from You,

I see Your Compassion-Eye

And Your Protection-Feet everywhere.
