Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 151

15001

```

O my heart,

Your patience for God-Satisfaction,

Your love for God-Satisfaction,

Your self-giving for God-Satisfaction,

Do you think God is not aware of?

He is!

He definitely is!

```

15002

```

The power of divine Love

Can never be perfectly measured

By any human standard.

```

15003

```

Because of the soul’s

Silence-power within,

We can see

Life’s sound-tower without. ```

15004

```

My Lord Supreme,

Can I not have something better

Than the mind-bound desire-life

On earth? ```

15005

```

He who has perseverance-courage-smile

Is bound to receive special blessings

From Above

And special gratitude

From below.

```

15006

```

Sweeter than the sweetest

Are the gratitude-tears

Of any human heart.

```

15007

```

Consciously or unconsciously

We all pray before God’s

Compassion-Forgiveness-Altar.

```

15008

```

God gave him a hero’s welcome

When he bravely said good-bye

To ignorance-night

For good. ```

15009

```

He who unconditionally loves

God the Creator

And serves God the creation

Is, indeed, a perfect saviour

For all time.

```

15010

```

It is a question of time.

Everybody will one day be tired

Of living in ignorance-environment.

```

15011

```

An ill-intentioned thought

Can be more damaging

Than a boxer’s heavy punches.

```

15012

```

A visionless beginning

Will definitely have

A most dramatic and most painful

Ending. ```

15013

```

A seeker’s true friends

Are those who always try

To bring to the fore

His pure, good and divine qualities. ```

15014

```

God, I shall fulfil You always

In Your own Way.

Indeed, this is humanity’s

Forgotten promise! ```

15015

```

Even the Heaven-sent warriors

Suffer and suffer

From the ruthless ingratitude-blows

Of mankind. ```

15016

```

O my vital,

Why do you want me to drink

Frustration-poison?

When I die

Will you not die with me

Immediately? ```

15017

```

God tells each human being:

“My child, I shall appreciate and admire

Only one thing of yours:

Your perfection-challenge.” ```

15018

```

The fragrance of a satisfaction-heart

On earth

Is at times envied

Even by celestial denizens. ```

15019

```

Each step towards God

Is man’s peace-blossoming promise

To God.

```

15020

```

A self-enamoured life

Belongs in a circus

With its clowns,

And nowhere else. ```

15021

```

My life’s surrender-plant

And my life’s gratitude-flower

Cherish God’s special Compassion

And Affection. ```

15022

```

With your encyclopedic mind

You want to conquer

The heart of the world.

It is impossible!

You can conquer

The heart of the world

Only with your self-giving heart.

```

15023

```

Freedom-cry

Everywhere we hear.

Perfection-smile

Nowhere we see. ```

15024

```

My perseverance in self-transcendence

Is a giant step

Towards my Lord Supreme.

```

15025

```

The tides of uncertainty

Every day are washing away

Man’s treasured determination.

```

15026

```

Inspiration-flow,

Aspiration-river,

Realisation-shore,

How I love you three!

I claim you all as my own,

Very own. ```

15027

```

Only God-dreaming hearts

Have a jasmine fragrance

All around their outer life.

```

15028

```

If you waste precious moments

Thoughtlessly on earth,

You will never be allowed to possess

God-climbing aspiration-wings. ```

15029

```

If you say that you will be ready

Tomorrow

To start your aspiration-search,

That means you do not actually believe in

The supreme necessity of aspiration

In your life. ```

15030

```

My aspiration-heart feels

That a day without God-Smile

Is like one hundred days

With ignorance-frown. ```

15031

```

If you do not care for

Your progress-delight,

That is nothing short of returning

To your yesterday’s night. ```

15032

```

A life of ignorance

Is the fastest backward race,

With no destination.

```

15033

```

We do not have to know

All the ways of God

As long as we know

The most essential way:

That everything He does

Is only for our swift progress. ```

15034

```

Each peace-step of a human being

Is undoubtedly a progress-march

Towards God’s Satisfaction-Smile.

```

15035

```

The reasoning mind

And a very limited reality

Are always found

Sailing in the same boat. ```

15036

```

My Lord,

You have given me a great many things.

Please give me one more thing:

An ever-blossoming gratitude-heart. ```

15037

```

Sweetness-fulfilment

Shall dawn on your eyes

If you can empty your mind

Of all complaints. ```

15038

```

Humanity’s hope and divinity’s promise

Have, alas,

Become a forgotten story.

```

15039

```

If you love me divinely,

Then you will care for me sleeplessly,

And you will do everything for me

The way God wants you to do it. ```

15040

```

I am not a lover

Of God’s Victory-Drum.

I am a lover

Of my heart’s aspiration-cry. ```

15041

```

God once and for all is asking me

If I really want to free myself

From darkness-torture.

If so, in no time He will grant me

His Illumination-Rapture.

```

15042

```

The mind-philosophy

Was my starting point.

The heart-spirituality

Is my present

And will be my everlasting goal.

```

15043

```

How can you survive

If there is no happiness

In your heart?

How can you survive

If there is no cheerfulness

In your mind?

How can you survive

If there is no eagerness

In your physical existence?

```

15044

```

O my heart,

I urge you to stop talking

Compassionately

To my negativity-mind.

It is of no avail!

```

15045

```

Because of your ingratitude-life,

God has completely lost interest

In your earth-activities.

```

15046

```

What is of paramount importance

Is not how near or how dear

You are to God,

But how sincere

Is your God-acceptance

And God-fulfilment

On earth.

```

15047

```

O my mind,

Leave me alone

With my own fate.

O my heart,

Do take me to the inner

Golden gate. ```

15048

```

God does not want you to suffer

From a guilt-stricken conscience.

He wants you to forgive and forget

Your past

Once and for all

And begin a new life

With a new promise-dawn.

```

15049

```

What can one feeble life do?

A feeble life can produce

A world-teacher, a world-saviour,

A God-fulfiller. ```

15050

```

O my mind-track,

Can you not see that every day

You are blindly leading me

Nowhere? ```

15051

```

On the mountaintop of my heart,

This moment I see God’s

Compassion-Eye,

Next moment I see God’s

Forgiveness-Feet.

```

15052

```

My soul-bird is proudly flying

In my heart-sky

With tremendous love and appreciation

For my heart’s progress-march. ```

15053

```

Humanity’s heavy weight

Is insincerity.

Humanity’s heavier weight

Is impurity.

Humanity’s heaviest weight

Is ingratitude. ```

15054

```

O my mind’s forest

Of ignorance-dreams,

I shall no more help you

In your desire-fulfilment. ```

15055

```

Poor God is totally lost

Between

Man’s bitterness-mind

And man’s sweetness-heart. ```

15056

```

God Himself came

And gave me a hand

When I was about to dust

The attic of my mind. ```

15057

```

The unseen may not be

Within our sight,

But it can be

On our side. ```

15058

```

A simplicity-mind,

A purity-heart,

A divinity-soul:

These are the three powerful allies

Of God.

```

15059

```

If we are good seekers,

We shall try to minimise

God’s Cries

And maximise

God’s Smiles.

```

15060

```

One question lingers

And remains unanswered:

How can God ever think

Of my perfection-life? ```

15061

```

The world is not dying for

Great leaders.

The world is only dying for

World-lovers. ```

15062

```

My heart’s inner cry is telling me

That God is fast approaching.

My mind’s outer smile is asking me

Not to waste time in useless God-search. ```

15063

```

Fortunately,

God keeps His Heart-Door unlocked

Twenty-four hours a day.

```

15064

```

You can make your longest journey

Very short

If you cheerfully sail

In your heart-boat. ```

15065

```

If you deliberately keep teeming problems

Locked inside your mind,

What can your poor soul

And your poor heart

Do for you?

```

15066

```

Each self-giving thought of man

Is a God-made weapon,

Stronger than the strongest,

To pierce the veil of ignorance-night. ```

15067

```

O moon,

Can you not carry me

On your silver wings to the sky,

So I can have a soulful talk

With the twinkling stars?

```

15068

```

Do not keep

Your outer life-door locked,

If you want God to come and join

Your heart’s secret and sacred

Family-party.

```

15069

```

You may think that there is still time

For you to love God,

But how do you know that God

Has still time to think of you? ```

15070

```

You play your role.

You intensify your heart’s aspiration-cry.

God will play His Role.

He will amplify your heart’s aspiration-cry

For the whole world to hear.

```

15071

```

When I am in a divine consciousness,

I feel that my God-satisfaction-task

Is something simply simple,

Hardly hard. ```

15072

```

God places a sweetness-smile

From your heart

And His own Sunburst-Smile

On the same footing. ```

15073

```

For such a long time

You have been closing your mind-door

With your uncomely thoughts.

Can you not from now on

Keep your mind-door wide open

With your soul’s fire-pure will? ```

15074

```

I have always known

That my nights without God-dreams

Are the precursors

Of sorrowful days. ```

15075

```

Give God your happy heart.

God will give you

His Breath immortal.

```

15076

```

If your humility-mind

Is empty of noise,

Then God will grant you

An illumining mountain-voice. ```

15077

```

O my heart’s sunlight-smile,

May my outer life join

The galaxy of your company.

```

15078

```

How close

Can your determination-mind

Take you to God

If you do not have

A dedication-life?

```

15079

```

O my seeker-friend,

Do not allow yourself

To suffer from attachment-vital

And indifference-mind. ```

15080

```

How is it possible

For you and your mind

To have forgotten the song

That your heart so soulfully

And so devotedly sang

For God? ```

15081

```

I know what happens to me

When God delays

In fulfilling my wishes.

I suffer and suffer torture-pangs.

Let me ask God what happens to Him

When I indefinitely delay

In thinking of Him.

```

15082

```

Love is never alone.

Divinity’s blessings

And humanity’s gratitude

Always stay with love. ```

15083

```

My Lord,

I am happy that You have finally arrived.

But I know that I would have been

Infinitely happier

If I could have gone to You.

```

15084

```

My Lord,

Out of Your infinite Compassion,

Do give me the capacity

To ride my heart’s gratitude-wave

Every day.

```

15085

```

God the Landlord

Never asks for rent

When we live inside His Heart-House.

He says:

“Stay here soulfully and confidently,

Eternally.” ```

15086

```

If you are

Your child-heart,

Then God becomes

Your Compassion-Sovereign-Father. ```

15087

```

Clear your mind-jungle.

You will immediately become happy.

Clear your heart-temple.

You will become surprisingly perfect. ```

15088

```

Just one thought-insect-bite

Can destroy our peace of mind

For the entire day.

```

15089

```

Our heart-cry-flames

Always climb upward

To reach the highest

Summit-destination. ```

15090

```

God’s Compassion-Vision-Eye descends

Only to brighten

Our heart-satisfaction-smile.

```

15091

```

Hope-march,

You and my aspiration-heart

Will never halt!

```

15092

```

Yesterday

Inspiration-garden-beauty

Was my friend.

Today

Aspiration-mountain-majesty

Is my friend.

Tomorrow

Realisation-sun-divinity

Will be my friend.

```

15093

```

O my mind and vital,

Our Lord God has been waiting

For you

For such a long time.

Hurry up!

```

15094

```

Be sensible!

Just because the mind

Has impurity-thorns,

You cannot, must not, ignore

The mind’s purity-flowers.

```

15095

```

If you sleeplessly think

Of your heart’s aspiration-cries,

God will breathlessly think

Of your God-oneness-smiles. ```

15096

```

When we want to study

At God’s Heart-School,

He teaches us only one subject:

Perfection-Satisfaction. ```

15097

```

Many people know what to do,

But few care how to do,

And fewer still dare to do.

```

15098

```

My heart’s aspiration

Is my morning meal.

My mind’s determination

Is my afternoon meal.

My life’s surrender

Is my evening meal. ```

15099

```

Each day the sunrise

Of aspiration-hearts

Tells us that we can eventually be

Infinity’s perfection-children. ```

15100

```

May my life grow into

A God-lover’s beauty

And a God-server’s purity

To see the Face of God

And be the Smile of God.
