Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 142

14101

```

Your heart’s soaring aspiration-bird

Will before long

Fly to God, without fail.

```

14102

```

He who has

Life-transforming determination

Is already on his way

To victory supreme. ```

14103

```

O my soulful heart,

True, you are suffering

But I am sure before long

You will be washing the Compassion-Feet

Of our Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

14104

```

Now that my mind’s unwillingness-reluctance

Has reached its ultimate limit,

My heart and I together

Will cry for my Lord’s Victory-Smile. ```

14105

```

If you are sleeplessly loving

Either God or yourself,

How can you have time

To see the imperfections

Of the world?

```

14106

```

The desire-demon cannot devour

Your aspiration-hunger

And cannot slow down

Your deer-speed progress. ```

14107

```

O my heart,

Be not a fool!

Not only you, but no heart

Can be forsaken

By the Compassion-Lord Supreme.

```

14108

```

Every morning without fail

My body, vital and mind

Sing our heart’s aspiration-song.

```

14109

```

God does not care for

Your mind’s mystery.

He cares only for

Your life’s mastery. ```

14110

```

If you can live

In God’s Patience-Heart,

Then there is no distance

That you cannot travel in the inner world. ```

14111

```

Be vigilant, O seeker!

Before you realise what is happening,

Your mind may enter into

The abysmal abyss of ignorance-night. ```

14112

```

Alas, alas,

Can you not see

That your mind has powerfully

Slammed the door

On perpetual truth?

```

14113

```

O my mind,

I do not expect you

To be perfect,

But I do expect you

To be totally receptive

To new and inspiring ideas. ```

14114

```

Every day God blesses me

With love-blossoms

In my aspiration-heart.

```

14115

```

Your mind’s insincerity-smile

Is taking you away

Farther than the farthest

From God’s Compassion-Heart. ```

14116

```

Look, look at God’s

Compassion-flooded Sun-Eye!

It has illumined your mind’s

Teeming unworthiness-clouds. ```

14117

```

“A self-giving life

Under any circumstances”

Is my life’s sole motto.

```

14118

```

If you are not fearless

In your self-examination,

You will never arrive at

God’s Satisfaction-Heart-Door. ```

14119

```

I take each failure

As an insignificant event

In my life.

I take each experience

As a supreme blessing

In my life. ```

14120

```

I invite imagination every day

To fly in my mind’s sky.

I invite aspiration every day

To fly in my heart’s sky.

I invite perfection every day

To fly in my life’s sky. ```

14121

```

Each man’s life

Is a miracle-happening-experience

That he offers to God.

```

14122

```

We can repay God

Only through our sleepless

And unconditional happiness.

```

14123

```

Every day I must devotedly bow

To the rising sun

Of universal responsibility.

```

14124

```

Your own insecurity-life

Is capsizing

Your God-manifestation-boat.

```

14125

```

Not your power-mind

But your humility-heart

Will always be the world-winner.

```

14126

```

From now on I shall pay special attention

To developing my heart’s

Unused oneness-muscle.

```

14127

```

Alas, why do I allow

My poor mind to be dominated

By insincerity and impurity-giants?

```

14128

```

I know, I know

That the insecurity of my vital

Has massacred

My heart’s enthusiasm-life. ```

14129

```

My life’s transformation-road

Is unmistakably

Under divine construction.

```

14130

```

O my mind, do not lose heart!

God did not create you

To be captured and tortured

By confusion-turmoil. ```

14131

```

Whether it is a long-distance

Or short-distance call

From your destruction-mind,

Just hang up! ```

14132

```

Fear and doubt-knives

Every day make powerful efforts

To stab our aspiration-hearts.

```

14133

```

O my mind,

One day you will be caught

By my soul

While you are turning off

My heart’s aspiration-alarm clock.

```

14134

```

Where is the difference

Between an impurity-mind

And spiritual paralysis

In a human life? ```

14135

```

Is there any human being

Who has not received

Countless opportunities

Directly from Heaven

To surpass himself?

```

14136

```

Curiosity cannot make you feel

The heart of spirituality.

It can at best show you

The huge body of spirituality. ```

14137

```

Whatever you do,

You must do with unflinching faith

So that you can keep

The doubt-runner far behind you. ```

14138

```

A life without God-manifestation-dreams

Can never give a God-seeker

Satisfaction-delight.

```

14139

```

There are only two places

Where man and God can meet:

Man’s gratitude-heart

And God’s Compassion-Feet. ```

14140

```

Because I do not live

With yesterday any more,

I am ready to love

And be loved by tomorrow. ```

14141

```

Our heart’s immortal

Aspiration-cry

Needs no sleep

And wants no rest. ```

14142

```

What I call opportunity

Is nothing other than

God’s Compassion-Rain

On my devotion-life. ```

14143

```

A gratitude-heart

And an unconditional life

Are unmistakably the last two steps

Before you arrive at the Golden Shore. ```

14144

```

O seeker, be not afraid

Of the swarm of attacks

You face.

Before long,

To your wide surprise,

They will disappear. ```

14145

```

Insecurity and impurity

Come into our minds and hearts

Disguised as lifelong friends.

```

14146

```

If we can see

Through the eye of surrender

And feel

Through the heart of gratitude,

Then we can be perfect

Ignorance-fighters. ```

14147

```

The eye of the heart

Can see the God

Of sleepless earth-perfection-dreams.

```

14148

```

All problems can be surmounted

If we can cherish

The beauty and fragrance

Of a world-oneness-heart. ```

14149

```

God asks us to believe in

At least one thing:

That every night He comes to see us

If we are sleeping and dreaming divinely. ```

14150

```

Enjoy the infancy

Of your heart first.

Then only will you be able

To enjoy the intimacy

Of God’s Oneness-Heart-Home.

```

14151

```

If you cannot dare

To follow,

God will not hire you

To lead. ```

14152

```

There is no such thing

As a little effort.

In God’s Eye, everything that we do

Is meaningful and purposeful.

Therefore,

Each and every effort-incident in life

Is supremely significant.

```

14153

```

Today my mind,

The trouble-maker,

Has unconditionally bowed

To my heart,

The trouble-shooter.

```

14154

```

My soul has

Only one piece of advice

For my mind:

Become humility’s fragrance-breath. ```

14155

```

The world is definitely

Progressing

Since world-destruction-dreams

Are regressing. ```

14156

```

Your surrender-life

And gratitude-heart

Will always help you

To climb up the aspiration-mountain. ```

14157

```

Self-praise is almost as bad

As surrender

To ignorance-temptation-night.

```

14158

```

I do not need

A God-expert-mind.

What I need

Is a God-surrender-heart. ```

14159

```

Because of your surrender-life

And your receptivity-heart,

God is eagerly waiting for you

To claim Him as your very own. ```

14160

```

The sooner you can reach

Your Himalayan heart-home,

The quicker you will become

A member of God’s inner circle. ```

14161

```

Countless times God has listened

To your disaster-slogans.

Now He wants you to step onto

His Compassion-Road. ```

14162

```

What I always need

Is a self-giving universal heart

To conquer my mind’s

Ignorance-army. ```

14163

```

Sincerity

Tells me where God is.

Purity

Tells me how to reach God.

Surrender

Leads me to God. ```

14164

```

My cheerful mind

Can elevate and even transform

Others’ lives.

```

14165

```

No matter where I am,

I always seem to long for

My heart’s shelter-sky.

```

14166

```

Silence sleeplessly

And perpetually sings

Unnoticed and undiscovered.

```

14167

```

My Lord,

Your Forgiveness-Blessing

Illumines my aspiration-heart-tears.

```

14168

```

A heart of patience

Can help me discover

My earth-dream-fulfilment-journey.

```

14169

```

My mind’s God-rejection-choice

And my heart’s God-invocation-voice

Are always at war with each other.

```

14170

```

At last the world

Is planning to surrender to God’s Will.

It is getting ready

To banish doubt for good. ```

14171

```

When the God-Hour strikes,

Only peace-lovers

And oneness-warriors

Will be flooded

With Infinity’s peace.

```

14172

```

If each moment of your life

Is for God-manifestation,

Then your perfection-life

Cannot remain a far cry. ```

14173

```

For a genuine God-lover

There is no such thing

As impossibility.

At God’s choice Hour

God can radically change

Everything. ```

14174

```

When God’s Compassion-Eye

Blesses me,

I easily leap over

My fear-hurdles. ```

14175

```

Alas, I am always a prisoner —

Either a prisoner

Of shameless inertia

Or a prisoner

Of thoughtless restlessness.

```

14176

```

You are bound to be haunted

By the shadows of the past

If you do not create

Sleepless self-giving joy

In your heart of aspiration-cries

And your life of dedication-smiles. ```

14177

```

If you accept responsibility’s

Challenges,

Then your life-transformation

Will be God’s top priority. ```

14178

```

If you do not break away

From your self-doubt-tradition,

God-dissatisfaction

Will be your heart-dweller. ```

14179

```

God is ready to tolerate you

And all your imperfections

Except one,

And that imperfection is

Your ignorance-arrogance.

```

14180

```

Your desire-infected mind

Has compelled your life

To be an unwillingness-wasteland.

```

14181

```

Three ruthless God-offenders:

Haughtiness, callousness

And unwillingness.

```

14182

```

Alas, the human life

Helplessly trembles

Between inner faith

And outer fear. ```

14183

```

Do you want to enlarge

Your receptivity-heart?

Then do not give in to

Your powerful desire-demands. ```

14184

```

Daily soulfully develop

Obedience-joy

To see God’s Satisfaction-Smile.

```

14185

```

You are earth-bound

Because of your mind-attachment.

You can be Heaven-free

Because of your heart-enlightenment. ```

14186

```

You have closed your heart-door

Today.

Therefore, God and God’s Guidance

Have left you. ```

14187

```

When doubt crowds your mind,

Vehemently tell doubt,

“Doubt, leave me alone!

Faith is fast approaching me.” ```

14188

```

The simple truth:

God loves me.

The simpler truth:

God needs me.

The simplest truth:

God and I

Love each other’s heart

And need each other’s life. ```

14189

```

If you want total liberation

From depression,

Then go beyond

Stark desire-frustration. ```

14190

```

If you do not want to be assaulted

By disguised temptation,

Then day and night

Sing renunciation-life-song. ```

14191

```

Your heart is indeed

Allowed to fly

In your soul’s unhorizoned

Vision-sky. ```

14192

```

When you go beyond the confines

Of the suffering earth-planet,

You will receive Infinity’s

Blessings, love and joy. ```

14193

```

O my mind, can you not see

That your counterfeit compassion

Is misleading you and taking you away

From God’s real Compassion-Light? ```

14194

```

Unless you close the door

On yesterday’s failures and mistakes,

You are bound to remain inside

Your mind-built prison. ```

14195

```

At God’s Heart-Door

There is only one sign:

“Willingness-seekers are welcome”.

```

14196

```

A selfless prayer

Is our life’s flower-fragrance,

Treasured by God’s Fulness-Heart.

```

14197

```

The inner vision

And the outer courage

Must go together

For a fruitful journey

Far beyond all ignorance-boundaries.

```

14198

```

When our hearts long to be

God’s torch-bearers,

God blesses us with

An unhorizoned vision-sky. ```

14199

```

When wisdom dawns,

We clearly see

That a desire-possessed life

Cannot escape from

Ignorance-shackles.

```

14200

```

Two diamond thoughts:

God and I love each other;

God and I shall please each other.
