Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 144

14301

```

Even before I start

My morning prayers,

I see a stream of blessings

Descending into my heart. ```

14302

```

What your life needs

Is illumination

And never ovation.

```

14303

```

If your idol is mental idleness,

Then psychic happiness and fulness

Will never come into your existence.

```

14304

```

Perfection-performance is the result

Of a slow, steady and unerring

Preparation.

```

14305

```

In the new edition of your life-book,

There should be a chapter

On your unconditional surrender.

```

14306

```

You may not expect ingratitude

From the world.

Nevertheless,

The world will bless you

With ingratitude,

Without fail. ```

14307

```

How is it

That you do not notice

You have a small mind

But a big ego? ```

14308

```

When God asks you to do something,

He does not set any deadline.

But if you want to satisfy Him

In His own Way,

Then do everything for Him

Faster than the fastest! ```

14309

```

Unlike earth’s rules and regulations,

God’s rules and regulations

Are always easy to follow.

```

14310

```

If you can please God

With your aspiration-flames,

Then the realisation-sun

Is within your easy reach. ```

14311

```

To kill time

Is to force the soul

To forget about

Its God-manifestation-promise. ```

14312

```

If you take meditation

As an obligation,

Then your life’s emancipation

Will always remain a far cry. ```

14313

```

Take the inner, soulful initiative.

The outer success

Will fast approach you.

```

14314

```

What can substitute for

The inner satisfaction?

Nothing, absolutely nothing!

```

14315

```

Your forward surrender-steps

Make God happy

Far beyond your imagination!

```

14316

```

God is ready to give you

His blessingful Consciousness-Crown.

Just show ignorance

Your life’s disgust-frown. ```

14317

```

Your God-manifestation-awareness

And eagerness

Do not underestimate!

```

14318

```

Alas, three promises we forget

When we enter into the world:

God-realisation,

God-manifestation

And earth-transformation.

```

14319

```

If you are not a genuine seeker,

God will definitely not allow you

To enter into His Heart-Temple.

```

14320

```

O my mind,

In so many years on earth

You have learnt so little,

And what’s more,

Even that was too late.

```

14321

```

Your mind’s desire-dust

Has polluted your heart’s

Aspiration-cries.

```

14322

```

May my mind every morning

Become as beautiful

As hope-dawn-rays.

```

14323

```

Your life-boat is sinking.

But even now

Your heart is not bringing God

Into the picture. ```

14324

```

Constant silent prayer

Receives a dream-boat

With golden sails

From Above. ```

14325

```

What are you searching for?

I am searching for my heart’s

Birthless and deathless sun.

```

14326

```

When you have done away with

Your frustration-life,

You are blessed with

Aspiration-acceleration. ```

14327

```

If you are serious

About your self-transformation,

Then God will make

Your self-examination-course

Extremely easy.

```

14328

```

It is in the unknown sea

Of the Beyond

That I feel my permanent home.

```

14329

```

Unseal the treasures of your soul.

Your sadness-mind and madness-vital

Will no longer function.

```

14330

```

Small is humanity’s aspiration-cry.

Smaller is humanity’s realisation-smile.

Smallest is humanity’s perfection-dance.

```

14331

```

Every day God hopes to have

A new, illumining, fulfilling member

In His universal Oneness-Family.

```

14332

```

When your heart learns to weep

Only for God,

Your ignorance-sleep

Will come to an end. ```

14333

```

I would like to play a game

Where there will be

No winner, no loser,

But only the enjoyer

Of the game itself.

```

14334

```

God will always provide us

With opportunities

To find the real path

To reach the perfection-shore. ```

14335

```

God wants to create

A compassion-continent

In your sleeplessly self-giving life.

```

14336

```

Use this moment

To empty your mind,

Enlarge your heart

And invoke God’s Compassion-Rain. ```

14337

```

To live is to obey;

To obey is to fulfil

Both the receiver and the giver

In the world of inner aspiration

And outer dedication.

```

14338

```

My heart is a regular subscriber

To God’s Heaven-singing

And earth-crying Newspaper.

```

14339

```

God never asked me

To change anybody’s mind.

He asked me only

To enlarge my heart. ```

14340

```

My human pride tells me

God is complete

Only with me.

My divine wisdom tells me

That out of His infinite Compassion

God invites me to play with Him

To complete His Game.

```

14341

```

How can you be so cruel

As to ignore your soul-child’s

Helpless cries?

```

14342

```

The outer adventure

Makes us happy.

The inner adventure

Makes us perfect. ```

14343

```

Is there any day

When we are not imprisoned

By our ego’s hurtful hallucinations?

```

14344

```

You do not have to blame temptation

When it comes.

Just resist it!

```

14345

```

God will become

The Director of your life-movie

Only after you have prayed to Him

To become an unconditional, earth-loving,

Heaven-fulfilling actor.

```

14346

```

To doubt one’s own inner capacities

Is nothing short of drinking poison

Made by oneself.

```

14347

```

God may wish to remain anonymous

When He does something for us.

But He never wants us to remain anonymous

When we cry to sing His Victory-Song. ```

14348

```

God, will there be a day

When I do not have to face

The torture of my mind’s

Shameless tyranny? ```

14349

```

What keeps

A human being alive?

His progress-rainbow-hope!

```

14350

```

Don’t waste your time

Thinking of Eternity.

Do immediately

What you are supposed to do.

Since Eternity exists,

It will definitely bring you the reward

For your today’s self-giving.

```

14351

```

The mind’s ignorance-night

Threatens the beauty and purity

Of the heart’s day.

```

14352

```

The clever ignorance-enemy

Has taken

My innocent progress-friend.

```

14353

```

I left my God-manifestation-dream

In Heaven.

I lost my God-realisation-dream

On earth. ```

14354

```

If you do not have

A sincere heart-cry,

You will not be able to fight

Against the hostile forces

In the inner world.

```

14355

```

When I live inside

My gratitude-heart-home,

God’s Compassion-Eye

Is my immediate neighbour. ```

14356

```

Since God does not sell peace

In His Universal Shop,

I shall have to make it

Inside my heart-home. ```

14357

```

Nothing can ever eclipse

My life’s

Purity-heart-moon.

```

14358

```

Insecurity and humiliation

Are unconsciously

Inseparable friends.

```

14359

```

Your heart-whisper

Is tremendously loud.

Even the distant God

Can hear it. ```

14360

```

A perfect disciple’s life

Is worth all the trouble

Previously created by him.

```

14361

```

A calculating mind

God never appreciates.

A self-giving heart

God not only loves

But also treasures.

```

14362

```

According to God,

Everybody has natural,

Illumining and fulfilling

Aspiration-capacity. ```

14363

```

The inner doctor

Always finds

That the outer patients

Are incurable

Precisely because

They are too impatient. ```

14364

```

Nothing beautiful,

Nothing meaningful,

Nothing fruitful

Can be produced

By the fear-factory

Of the human mind. ```

14365

```

My Lord,

I really do not want to wait

For Eternity

For the transformation

Of my human nature.

```

14366

```

O my mind,

When will you start running forward

Instead of walking backward?

```

14367

```

Every day my soul and I

Are desperately looking

For a burial ground

For my past blunders. ```

14368

```

There can be no dead end

On purity’s

Happiness-progress-highway.

```

14369

```

O my mind, it is you

Who are deliberately enjoying

A self-imposed exile

From God’s Compassion-Kingdom. ```

14370

```

God wants my soul to know

Who is who

In the aspiration-world.

God wants my heart to know

Who is who

In the dedication-world. ```

14371

```

Yesterday my aspiration-account

Was short of funds.

Today my dedication-account

Is short of funds.

Tomorrow my surrender-account

Will be short of funds.

Alas!

```

14372

```

A genuine seeker

Will definitely be found

Between his life’s greatness

And his heart’s goodness. ```

14373

```

He who wants to make

The fastest progress

Should have this motto:

“Now is the only time!” ```

14374

```

Alas,

Is there any day

When my mind’s enthusiasm-flag

Is not at half-mast? ```

14375

```

Aspiration-road and dedication-road

Are never bound

By any speed limit.

```

14376

```

Only an unconditional seeker

Sits for the final

God-realisation-examination.

```

14377

```

My Lord’s Protection-Eye

Has always played the role

Of my life’s protection-armour.

```

14378

```

God is immensely surprised

When the human mind

Follows the divine heart.

```

14379

```

When my Lord sees a soulful thought

Inside my mind,

He asks His Soul-Bird to dance

To my heartbeat. ```

14380

```

To speak with divine authority

You have to cry like an orphan

For luminosity.

```

14381

```

If you do not light your heart-candle,

Then peace in your human mind

Is nothing short of impossibility.

```

14382

```

Is there any earthly problem

That does not have

A purifying and illumining purpose?

```

14383

```

God-manifestation

Is the fulfilment of my life’s

Beginningless and deathless dream.

```

14384

```

Your fears are unfounded.

When the opportune time arrives,

Both God the Compassion

And God the Perfection

Will come to you.

```

14385

```

The human mind asks,

“Why?

Why?

Why?”

The divine heart asks,

“Why not?

Why not?

Why not?” ```

14386

```

Fastest progress-privilege

Is meant only for those

Who can cheerfully

And unconditionally wait

For God’s choice Hour.

```

14387

```

The giant-self inside my heart

Is always amused

When it sees the dwarf-self

Inside my mind. ```

14388

```

When God gives

His Renunciation-Delight-Sermon,

Immediately the church

Becomes empty! ```

14389

```

No self-giving here on earth

Will remain unrecognised,

Unapplauded

And unfulfilled. ```

14390

```

Run with your longest

Enthusiasm-strides.

God will grant you

His Ocean-Heart-Love. ```

14391

```

My sincere aspiration-heart

Shortens the life span

Of my doubting mind.

```

14392

```

Intensify your heart’s

Aspiration-cries.

Realisation-sunrise

Will beckon you. ```

14393

```

My fondness

For my doubting mind

Pollutes the soulfulness

Of my heart. ```

14394

```

God sings the song of perfection

Only when I become

The voiceless voice

Of my silence-heart. ```

14395

```

God’s earth-planet

Is very fragile,

But His peace-planet

Is His Infinity’s Power. ```

14396

```

In the inner world I call it

My heart’s aspiration-entrance.

In the outer world I call it

My mind’s desire-exit. ```

14397

```

O my vital,

I am so tired of listening

To your never-ending

Failure-sadness-stories. ```

14398

```

The fastest wings

Of the time-bird

No mortal can ever dare

To challenge. ```

14399

```

God’s Justice-Light

May not wait for you,

But His Compassion-Height

Will definitely wait for you,

No matter how late you are.

```

14400

```

Slowly and steadily

If you walk with gratitude-steps,

Then lovingly and convincingly

God will come towards you

With plenitude-treasures.
