Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 145

14401

```

Our heart’s streaming tears

Know the secret entrance

To the world of Infinity’s Delight.

```

14402

```

Are you so stupid

That you have to stir up

Your mind’s confusion-dust

Every day? ```

14403

```

How can you say that you aspire,

My seeker-friend?

Can you not see

That your heart-door

Is completely sealed?

```

14404

```

Look at the rising sun.

Look at the setting sun.

Your mind’s inspiration

And your heart’s aspiration

Will immediately increase.

```

14405

```

My faith-flooded heart

Has accepted the challenge

Of curing my doubt-addicted mind.

```

14406

```

Plant gratitude-seeds

Inside your heart-garden.

Your life will be beautiful

And fruitful

With glowing deeds.

```

14407

```

You are spending all your time

Thinking of others’ successes

And failures.

When will you have time

To do something for yourself,

Or even for God? ```

14408

```

Step out

Of stark ignorance-shadow,

O my ill-fated mind,

If you want progress-satisfaction. ```

14409

```

The illumination-compass

Of my soul

Invariably points

Towards God-manifestation. ```

14410

```

Deep inside my heart’s

Ecstasy-lake,

My Lord Supreme sings

His Immortality’s Songs. ```

14411

```

If your inner weather report

Is good,

Then you are bound to make

Long progress-strides. ```

14412

```

A sleepless gratitude-heart

Knows the shortest and safest

Passageway

To God’s Satisfaction-Heart. ```

14413

```

Fortunate are those

Who have the capacity

To stay off

Their mind’s doubt-infested path. ```

14414

```

God needs from you

A thirsty mind

And

A hungry heart,

And

Nothing more! ```

14415

```

The life of spirituality

Not only invites possibility

But also transforms possibility

Into manifested reality. ```

14416

```

Your sweet Heaven-memories

Will enter into your mind

If you can awaken and preserve

The beauty of your purity-heart. ```

14417

```

Shatter, shatter

Your impossibility-fear

And your impossibility-challenges

Both in your inner life

And in your outer life!

```

14418

```

God is so sad

That your aspiration-candles

Have been extinguished

By your world-desire-life. ```

14419

```

If you can nurture

Your devotion-bud,

Your realisation-blossoms

Will be seen before long. ```

14420

```

Even God’s Compassion-Eye

Does not care to read

Your ceaseless

Daily ignorance-multiplying reports. ```

14421

```

My Lord,

Do give me the capacity

To turn my heart’s wish-power

Into my life’s will-power. ```

14422

```

Because you have lost

Your enthusiasm-heart,

Your life’s progress-tide

Is ebbing. ```

14423

```

A seeker has to start

His spiritual journey

With a ceaselessly dreaming

Oneness-heart. ```

14424

```

A self-giver

Does not have to pay anything

When he shops at God’s

Heart-Mart. ```

14425

```

Use your hungry God-hunger-heart.

You will easily be able to rescue

All your long-lost

God-manifestation-dreams. ```

14426

```

I am breathing today

New, soulful and powerful hopes

Into my old, decayed and fading dreams.

```

14427

```

Once you find yourself

In the mind’s worry-boat,

It is extremely difficult

To jump out of it. ```

14428

```

God does not care for you.

He cares for your heart,

Although it is as dry as dust.

```

14429

```

Just one pure celestial thought

Of your mind

Can satisfy God’s great Hunger.

```

14430

```

Only God’s unconditional Grace

Can completely turn down

Your mind’s doubt-volume

For good. ```

14431

```

Although your mind is coming

On a delayed doubt-flight,

It will definitely reach

Its frustration-airport. ```

14432

```

Our heart’s inner silence

At any moment

Can quiet the chattering mind’s

Stupidity-utterances. ```

14433

```

I am sick of enjoying

The fleeting flight of fame

In my life.

```

14434

```

Cancel as soon as possible

All your mind-appointments

With ignorance-students:

Anxiety,

Insecurity

And jealousy. ```

14435

```

Your purity-heart only

Can improve your life’s

Perfection-grade.

```

14436

```

God’s great fan

Is your heart.

God’s greater fan

Is your heart’s sleepless gratitude.

God’s greatest fan

Is your heart’s unconditional surrender. ```

14437

```

O my old and tired thoughts,

I must say farewell to you,

I must!

```

14438

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do once more make me

Your choice aspiration-athlete!

```

14439

```

Wisdom has dawned upon me.

I have completely withdrawn my support

For the doubt-cherishing mind-party.

```

14440

```

Self-conscious and pompous devotion

Is defective,

And it is almost incurable.

```

14441

```

God does not want you to understand

Your heart-language.

He wants you only to feel

And be proud of

Your heart-language.

```

14442

```

Today I am enjoying

New, illumining and fulfilling sweetness

Inside my silence-peace-heart.

```

14443

```

Although the beginning

Of my spiritual life

Was uncertain and precarious,

The ending of my spiritual life

Is supremely glorious.

```

14444

```

God is asking me

What keeps me from boarding

My life’s transformation-perfection-train.

```

14445

```

Your mind’s limitation-hallucinations

Are speedily and foolishly

Moving away from

Your heart’s illumination-satisfaction. ```

14446

```

A soulful smile

Is the new remedy

For humanity’s old ailment:

Doubt. ```

14447

```

Alas, what am I going to do

With my poor mind,

Which is afraid of light?

Alas, what am I going to do

With my poor heart,

Which is afraid of darkness? ```

14448

```

My mind’s teeming defects

Are unending.

Yet I shall never give up

My life’s perfection-dream. ```

14449

```

Because of your

Unconditional surrender-heart,

Your life’s delight-journey

Is dawning fast. ```

14450

```

With our aspiration-passport

We do not need any visa

To enter into

Humanity’s inner countries. ```

14451

```

Slowly and steadily,

Your heart-life will climb up

Divinity’s satisfaction-peak.

```

14452

```

Today my Lord Supreme

Has passed a law

Against humanity’s

Doubt-enjoyment. ```

14453

```

Use your heart’s cry!

You will feel God at any time.

Use your life’s surrender!

You will see God in any place. ```

14454

```

God’s Justice-Light

Is only an inch away

From God’s Compassion-Height.

Therefore, you can easily expect

Almost anything you want

From God’s Justice-Light. ```

14455

```

Step forward,

No matter how slowly,

How carefully.

But do not step backward,

Even unconsciously!

```

14456

```

True,

The heart-purification-process

Is slow.

But do not give up

If you want to be the owner

Of your Lord’s Victory-Smile. ```

14457

```

If your dedication is not nourished

By faith every day,

Doubt may at any moment

Derail your dedication-train. ```

14458

```

Your heart’s gratitude-fragrance

Has the capacity

To respond immediately

To God’s clarion Call. ```

14459

```

God-loving hearts

Are both completely calm

And unmistakably certain.

```

14460

```

A soulful meditation

Can easily lengthen

The mind’s compassion,

Tolerance and sympathy-limits. ```

14461

```

My life is a little boat;

It is a feeble cry.

But my soul is a representative

Of the omnipotent,

Omnipresent and omniscient God.

```

14462

```

Humanity’s orphan-cry

Will definitely

One day be transformed

Into Divinity’s Infinity-Smile. ```

14463

```

My early morning peace

I receive from

My aspiration-heart-flames

And my dedication-life-plants. ```

14464

```

May every human being

Be blessed with

A celestial angel-music-dawn.

```

14465

```

God Himself garlands and crowns

His hero-server

When he arrives

At God’s Golden Shore. ```

14466

```

It is not enough to decrease —

You have to totally diminish

Your contact with

Your mind-doubt-agent. ```

14467

```

Gratitude is a divine gift

That we get from the inner world.

Alas, it is undoubtedly

An under-used gift. ```

14468

```

When we summarise

Humanity’s deplorable situation,

We realise that humanity

Does not really know

What it actually wants.

```

14469

```

The difference between

A doer and a watcher

Is that the doer is on

His safe and certain highway

To God’s Infinity,

Whereas the watcher can be

Either tomorrow’s starter

Or tomorrow’s sleeper. ```

14470

```

A first-class God-lover

And God-server

Says to God at every moment:

“My Lord, do tell me

What else I can do for You

To please You in Your own Way.” ```

14471

```

Ambition-body-mind

I am.

Aspiration-heart-soul

I long to be. ```

14472

```

God feels extremely sad

That you feed your self-doubt-mind,

Even while your heart

Is conversing with God. ```

14473

```

Humanity’s dissatisfaction-disease

Is not only widespread

But also impossibly incurable.

```

14474

```

An ingratitude-heart

Is bound to enter

Eventually

Into an unknown territory

Of self-peril.

```

14475

```

Alas, alas, I still do not know

When my nonsense-mind

Will be replaced by

My aspiration-heart. ```

14476

```

The human mind enjoys

Great export-success.

The divine heart enjoys

Good import-progress. ```

14477

```

A freedom-cry

Is not a product of the finite

But a blessingful boon

From Above. ```

14478

```

O my Lord Supreme,

What I need is

A heart-willingness-cottage

And never

A mind-unwillingness-edifice.

```

14479

```

A purity-dream and

A certainty-reality

Are connected by

Divinity’s golden Dream. ```

14480

```

Rich God knows

How to forgive

And how to forget.

Poor human beings

Know neither.

```

14481

```

Aspiration must be

Our very first choice,

And never an afterthought.

```

14482

```

The intellectual giants

Cannot open the heart’s

Sweetness-fondness-room.

```

14483

```

My present name is

Man-frustration.

My future name will be

God-satisfaction. ```

14484

```

The human mind

Cleverly looks for

Divinity-exit-door.

The divine heart

Wisely looks for

Divinity-entrance-door. ```

14485

```

Your mind’s master plans

Will eventually die unnourished

And unsupported.

```

14486

```

God says to God-realised souls:

“You can claim Me now,

But I shall claim you

Only after you have manifested Me.” ```

14487

```

God’s Heart-Palace

Is the place for truth-seekers

And God-lovers

To play, sing and dance. ```

14488

```

No seeker

Can permanently stay on the path

If God withdraws

His Compassion-Protection-Eye. ```

14489

```

My life’s austerity

Is forced to live inside

My mind’s godless captivity.

```

14490

```

If you do anything soulfully

And do not succeed,

Do not feel sad.

Rest assured,

God will take the blame.

```

14491

```

To lighten God’s heavy burden,

Think of God ceaselessly.

To enlighten your mind,

Pray to God breathlessly. ```

14492

```

God smilingly and proudly

Breathes in

Our heart’s flower-fragrance.

```

14493

```

God tells me that He loves

My soulfulness-mind.

God tells me that He needs

My fulness-heart. ```

14494

```

Before my God-realisation,

I loved God

For His Greatness and Goodness.

After my God-realisation,

I have been loving God

For His Sweetness and Fondness. ```

14495

```

Each surrender-prayer

Of my heart

Will be garlanded and crowned

By my inner divinity’s Lord Supreme. ```

14496

```

Expand, expand

Your willingness-heart

Sleeplessly and breathlessly

Into the vastness-universe. ```

14497

```

With my prayerful heart

I start my Eternity’s journey.

With my soulful life

I continue. ```

14498

```

An unwillingness-vital

And a hesitation-mind

Can destroy the beauty and purity

Of an aspiration-heart. ```

14499

```

When I sing before God

My heart’s love-song,

His blessingful Comment is:

“Excellent, My child!”

When I sing before God

My heart’s devotion-song,

His powerful Comment is:

“Perfect, My child!” ```

14500

```

When I multiply

My devotion-heart-flames,

My Lord Supreme tells me:

“My child, I have arrived!” ```
