Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 140

13901

```

Let me do something

Absolutely new today:

I shall unconditionally fulfil God,

If even for a fleeting second. ```

13902

```

Hope shows the way.

Promise shortens the way.

Aspiration reaches the destination.

```

13903

```

If you hold fast

To your ideals,

God will definitely expedite

Your Heavenward journey. ```

13904

```

Humanity’s perfection-dream

Comes from

The universal soul within.

```

13905

```

Aspiration can cover

The weaknesses of your heart

And also the imperfections

Of your mind. ```

13906

```

My life-prayer is

For humanity’s God-realisation.

My heart-meditation is

For humanity’s God-manifestation. ```

13907

```

O seeker,

What you need is dynamism.

O seeker,

What you need is radiance.

If you have both dynamism and radiance,

Then you can escape

Many impediments in life.

```

13908

```

A couple of minutes

Is more than enough

To intensify your heart’s

Aspiration-cry

And multiply your life’s

Dedication-smile. ```

13909

```

You do not need anything else

Save and except your inner faith

To navigate your way

To the Golden Shore. ```

13910

```

Fate never wrongs you.

It is you who do wrong things

To your fate.

```

13911

```

Gratitude-song is the only song

That the angels sing

At every minute

For the Absolute Lord Beloved Supreme. ```

13912

```

To fulfil

Your Eternity’s dream

You need

Your Infinity’s courage. ```

13913

```

God, I do need

Your Justice-Light.

But I need Your Compassion-Height

Infinitely more

To quench my sleepless thirst

For You. ```

13914

```

Uncertainty, insecurity and impurity

Decrease

As the aspiration-flames increase

In a seeker’s life. ```

13915

```

God is all ready to shower

His choicest Compassion-Blessings

On you.

Why are you delaying

In coming to Him

With your weary heart? ```

13916

```

A twinkle in God’s divine Eye

Can illumine your darker, darkest

Earth-journey

So you can reach

Heaven’s immortal Satisfaction-Smile.

```

13917

```

My Lord Supreme,

The sweetness and fulness

Of Your divine Eye

Are illumining my long-treasured

Doubting mind.

```

13918

```

God does not smash our dreams,

For God Himself has created our dreams

To be the foundation-stones

Of our Himalayan realities. ```

13919

```

In the spiritual life

How can you be cruel

If you have a prayerful heart

And a soulful life

As your self-giving friends?

```

13920

```

My sweet Lord Supreme,

Save me, save me, save me

From stabbing doubt-agonies!

```

13921

```

My heart fondly tells me

To do the right thing.

My mind forcefully compels me

To be the wrong thing. ```

13922

```

When I walk along

The sincerity-road,

I become my life’s

Capacity-sky. ```

13923

```

Every day

My Lord Supreme sits

At the foot of His own

Compassion-Tree,

And I sit

At the foot of my own

Gratitude-tree.

```

13924

```

Only the willingness-boat

Carries us

To the fulness-shore.

```

13925

```

Mine is the daily morning duty

To invoke

A devotion-prayer-life.

```

13926

```

Why are you so sure

That your mind-sound

Will never lose

To your heart-silence? ```

13927

```

My greatest gift

To humanity

Is my purity-light-fragrance.

```

13928

```

If you are a genuine seeker,

Then you know that

Your prayer-aspirations

Will be fulfilled in God’s own Way. ```

13929

```

You can lose everything

If you have to.

But do not allow yourself to lose

One thing:

Your hope-heart-boat.

```

13930

```

My Supreme Lord,

You do not have to explain,

For I shall no more complain.

```

13931

```

When I go even one step beyond

My ego-mind,

God tells me

That my life is perfect. ```

13932

```

My Lord Supreme

Asks me only to transmit His

Forgiveness-Message-Light.

```

13933

```

My life’s only serious mistake

Is that every day

My stupidity prevents me

From receiving Light

From God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

13934

```

God wants me to

Take Him soulfully

And take my own life seriously

At every moment. ```

13935

```

My silence in action

Means my life is travelling

On the perfection-road.

```

13936

```

What I have

Is a daring mind,

And what I am

Is a weeping heart. ```

13937

```

My aspiration-heart,

Cry, cry!

I want to see you crying.

My dedication-life,

Smile, smile!

I want to see you smiling. ```

13938

```

God’s Compassion-Smile

Is my life’s only

Secret and sacred collaborator.

```

13939

```

Readiness runs,

Oneness flies,

Fulness dives.

```

13940

```

What today I call

My heart’s devotion-plant,

Tomorrow I shall call that very thing

My life’s perfection-tree. ```

13941

```

It is you who have chosen

Your misery-life.

What can poor God do

To save you or help you? ```

13942

```

My oneness-heart

Needs only God-lovers.

My supremacy-mind

Wants for itself

Not only admirers

But also adorers. ```

13943

```

If there is no purity

In your heart,

That means your spirituality-train

Is off the track. ```

13944

```

Devotion-offering

Is my soulful task.

Compassion-showering

Is my Lord’s bountiful Task. ```

13945

```

Man has only a short-term

Aspiration-cry,

But he wants to have

A very long-term

God-Satisfaction-Smile.

```

13946

```

Although the human mind

Is hard of hearing,

God will someday, somehow

Sing His blessingful Faith-Songs

Through the human mind.

```

13947

```

What I need every day

Is a shuttle service

Between my aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life. ```

13948

```

An abiding satisfaction

Blossoms

Even from a brief glimpse

Of God. ```

13949

```

O human mind,

I have always known and felt

That you are an orphan

Of divinity. ```

13950

```

For your disobedience-dart

God may forgive you,

But your soul will not —

Never! ```

13951

```

I must ask my mind

And all its problems

To evacuate my aspiration-heart.

```

13952

```

O my mind, come, come!

Come and see God.

Regardless of your past,

God is allowing you

To come and see Him.

```

13953

```

Every day in a very special way

My heart is cradled

By the silver light-moon.

```

13954

```

Only your soul-lot

Is safe.

Therefore, there alone

You can park

All your mind-problems.

```

13955

```

Listen, listen, O my mind!

God is singing

His Oneness-Satisfaction-Song.

```

13956

```

May my vision-eye

Self-givingly enjoy

Heaven’s beauty and earth’s purity.

```

13957

```

God’s Compassion-Light

Always loses something precious

In translation.

```

13958

```

A seeker’s life is a life

Of conscious and infinite

Possibilities.

```

13959

```

Meditate on God sleeplessly!

You will see that God’s Compassion-Eye

Is not even a heartbeat away.

```

13960

```

O my stupid mind,

I am giving you

One more chance.

This time choose the right thing:

Faith, purity-faith.

```

13961

```

Without making

Unconditional surrender

One cannot study

God’s complete Satisfaction-Subject. ```

13962

```

Only a child

Of purity-light-dawn

Is allowed to speak to God

Every morning. ```

13963

```

Behave yourself, O my mind!

Otherwise, God the Compassion-Height

May not like you,

And God the Justice-Light

May punish you.

```

13964

```

O my mind,

Your illusion-smoke

You mistake

For your aspiration-fire. ```

13965

```

My surrender is my passport

To Heaven.

My gratitude is my free access

To my Lord Supreme. ```

13966

```

In the deep silence-delight

Of your aspiration-heart

No temptation-tornado

Can torture you. ```

13967

```

At times I wonder

Why my heart has taken the risk

Of accepting my ungrateful mind.

```

13968

```

May my life live between

My gratitude-tears

And my surrender-smiles.

```

13969

```

One can always get a clear view

Of the satisfaction-shore

From the top of the aspiration-mountain.

```

13970

```

My Lord, I have seen You perform

Your disappearing tricks.

Please show me

Your reappearing tricks. ```

13971

```

My outer pain teaches me

How to be pure.

My inner pain teaches me

How to be perfect. ```

13972

```

I am indeed happy today

Because I have surrendered

My own feelings

To my Lord’s all-fulfilling Will

Unconditionally.

```

13973

```

Yesterday I dreamt of aspiration.

Today I am dreaming of perfection.

Tomorrow how I wish I could dream

Of God-manifestation. ```

13974

```

If you want God to be responsible

For what you say,

Then beg God at every moment

To claim you as His very own. ```

13975

```

Soulfully, sleeplessly and breathlessly

I wish to be God-directed

In everything that I do

From now on. ```

13976

```

O my mind,

For so many years I made you happy

By allowing you to lead me.

Can you not now make me happy

By following me?

```

13977

```

Possessiveness and fruitlessness

Together live

And together die

In our mind-jungles. ```

13978

```

I do not have to lose my own divinity

To awaken others’ sleeping hearts

And silence others’ doubting minds.

```

13979

```

Do not depend on others.

Do not depend on yourself.

Just depend on the Sweetness-Whispers

Of your Inner Pilot. ```

13980

```

God wants me to be responsible

For His manifestation

Exactly the way He is responsible

For my aspiration. ```

13981

```

Say “Yes”, say “Yes”, say “Yes”

To the world

Only when you can be of service

To the world.

Otherwise, enjoy complete silence!

```

13982

```

God wants me to show Him

My life’s humility

So that He can bless me

With His Eternity’s Infinity. ```

13983

```

I have made many choices

In my life.

Alas, each stupid and greedy

Choice of mine

Has taken me farther and farther

Away from God. ```

13984

```

When the time comes,

God Himself will ask you

To take a break.

Meanwhile, continue manifesting

God’s Love-Compassion-Light

Here on earth. ```

13985

```

I may be afraid of my relationship

With God’s Vision-Eye,

But I am never afraid of my relationship

With God’s Compassion-Heart. ```

13986

```

Every day I am enjoying

My dependence

On my soulful heart

And my independence

From my hurtful mind.

```

13987

```

God wants to know from you

When He has ever asked you

To please others’ minds

Before pleasing His Heart. ```

13988

```

Keep no space

Between God’s Forgiveness-Heart

And your own gratitude-heart.

```

13989

```

Who am I,

If not an easy-going

Amateur God?

```

13990

```

Surrender has been a friend of mine

For a long time.

Alas, still I do not know him very well!

```

13991

```

When Heaven helps you

Readily,

Can you not offer Heaven

Your gratitude-heart

Unreservedly?

```

13992

```

Why don’t you listen to God?

He has asked your guilt-harbouring mind

So many times

To forgive and forget,

And proceed onward.

```

13993

```

Alas, I cannot control my own mind

Even for a fleeting second.

Then how do I dare to try to control

The mouth, face and eye of the world? ```

13994

```

Your God-defending thoughts

Can and will save you

From your self-defeating life.

```

13995

```

Life’s tragedies have only one remedy:

God’s Compassion-Eye

In God’s Satisfaction-Heart.

```

13996

```

If you want to choose happiness in life,

Then choose willingness first;

Happiness will automatically follow.

```

13997

```

To lose material things

Is to lose the power of earth.

To lose spiritual things

Is to lose the beauty of Heaven. ```

13998

```

Alas, I did not know

That my mind’s impatience-moments

Have the capacity to destroy

My life’s God-approaching dream-boat-shore. ```

13999

```

Your confession of your mistakes

Is God’s

Perfection-Preparation-Satisfaction

In and through you. ```

14000

```

My prayers know how

To touch God’s Feet.

My meditations know how

To feel God’s Heart.

My surrender knows how

To please God

In God’s own Way.
