Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 153

15201

```

Do you want

Free access to God

Any time, anywhere?

Then surrender your heart’s dream-boat

And your life’s reality-boat —

Surrender to Him immediately! ```

15202

```

Every day

The mind-cure-hospital

Inaugurates a new wing.

```

15203

```

Man treasures

God’s Compassion-flooded Eye.

God treasures

The tiny, climbing aspiration-hope

In man’s heart.

```

15204

```

Every day I visit

My mind’s mortality-cage

And my heart’s Immortality-palace.

```

15205

```

Each morning

Is God’s blessingful beginning

To transform humanity’s face

Into divinity’s heart. ```

15206

```

Earth does not want me,

Because I speak too highly

Of Heaven all the time.

Heaven does not want me,

For Heaven feels

That I need more sincerity

When I speak of Heaven’s love.

```

15207

```

When we feel humility

In the depths of our heart,

God asks us to come closer.

When we become devotion

In the depths of our heart,

God does not give us any time

To come to Him.

He Himself comes rushing towards us

To declare our perfection in life.

```

15208

```

I want the eyes

That move forward.

I love the eyes

That fly upward.

I need the eyes

That dive inward. ```

15209

```

This morning

A visit from my long-forgotten friend,

Faith,

Has given me a new wave of inspiration

And a new sea of aspiration.

```

15210

```

My soul is fond of planting

A new spirituality-seed

Every day

Inside my beautiful and rich

Heart-garden.

```

15211

```

We must take nature’s hostility

As an inner blessing,

For it lets us see

Our own outer hostility

Towards the unconditional Compassion-Rain

Of our Beloved Supreme. ```

15212

```

My Lord Supreme asks me

Only to be happy

In my inner life of aspiration

And my outer life of dedication.

He tells me

That I do not have to strive

To prove to Him

That I love Him and need Him. ```

15213

```

Only a stupid seeker

Will think of rationing

His aspiration-heart

And dedication-life. ```

15214

```

My mind’s new-found willingness

I use all the time

To befriend my aspiration-heart.

```

15215

```

O tennis ball-surrender,

Can you not be a constant friend

Of my heart and life?

```

15216

```

Attachment-hours

Lasted long, very long.

But to my extreme joy,

They have finally disappeared. ```

15217

```

If every human being

Runs the same race,

And at the same pace,

Then there will be no joy

In the human heart.

```

15218

```

The morning that I do not pray,

Do not meditate

And do not have a good thought,

Is declared a black morning

By my wisdom-soul.

```

15219

```

O my strangling vital,

My mind does not want

To wrestle with you any more.

My mind wants

To be a humble student

Of my aspiration-soul. ```

15220

```

Money-power

Has tremendous disadvantages.

It immediately loses

The world-loving

And world-conquering

Humility-heart. ```

15221

```

There is only one real evil force,

And this is the force that tells me

That I do not need God

And that God does not love me. ```

15222

```

If I do not depend

On God’s Compassion-Rainfall,

Then I will not be able

To come out of my mind-density-jungle. ```

15223

```

He forcefully compelled his ego

To leave the limelight

So that his Lord Supreme

Could bless him

With His Infinity’s Joy.

```

15224

```

O my mind,

Try in a different way,

I mean in a loving way,

To please God.

Definitely

Your God-satisfaction-failure

Is not inevitable.

```

15225

```

Only an explosion

Of self-giving activities

From each individual

Can save this precarious world

From threatening destruction-night.

```

15226

```

No God-manifestation-longing

Can ever be

Outside the possibility-boundary.

```

15227

```

Be not afraid of spirituality,

O my stupid mind!

Spiritual joy is real.

It can be found here on earth.

In no way

Is it a fairy-tale-falsehood. ```

15228

```

Ignorance-rope-strength

Came to an end

When God-realisation-smile

Dawned in his heart’s

Aspiration-cry.

```

15229

```

If you ever lose your longing

For perfection-thrill,

Then that is the final end

Of your spiritual life. ```

15230

```

My heart’s soulful smile

Every day makes a special attempt

To conquer my mind’s

God-rejection-pride. ```

15231

```

Do not forget

To count God’s Blessings

Frequently

Inside your gratitude-heart

So that you can sleeplessly remain happy.

```

15232

```

You fool!

Why do you listen

To your mind’s advice?

Your mind tells you

Not to think

Of God’s Compassion-Light

But only to think

Of its own desire-cry. ```

15233

```

God always keeps His Heart-Line open.

But alas, we forget the numbers:

Surrender, gratitude and satisfaction.

```

15234

```

The hope of the mind

Is as poor as a street beggar

And as fragile as a rope of sand.

```

15235

```

Every morning God wants me

To feed His Compassion-Eye

With good news.

And I am so happy

That I can do it

With no difficulty at all. ```

15236

```

My heart was the first

To see the sudden appearance

Of God the Compassion-Height.

My mind was the first

To see the sudden disappearance

Of God the Justice-Light. ```

15237

```

If your mind is vague

And your heart is unprepared,

Then how do you expect God

To come and lead you

To your destined goal?

```

15238

```

My aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life

Today are staging a revolution

Against my mind’s ignorance-tyranny. ```

15239

```

O hope of my mind,

O love of my heart,

Never give way

Either to fear or to doubt. ```

15240

```

When we worship false gods,

The real God does not mind.

He enjoys rest,

Which He so richly deserves. ```

15241

```

Only when our heart

Prays and meditates

Soulfully and self-givingly

Can we see God’s Footprints

In our awakened life.

```

15242

```

The human mind enjoys

The fault-finding records

Of the world.

The divine heart enjoys

The fault-hiding records

Of the world.

```

15243

```

If you are not a divine acrobat,

God will not be able

To shape you and mould you

In His choice Way. ```

15244

```

O selfless service-escapist,

Rest assured,

God’s infinite Joy

Will be denied you. ```

15245

```

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye

Is teaching me how to speak

The language of world-satisfaction.

```

15246

```

O ruthless unwillingness,

Do you not see

That deliberately you have become

My mind’s absurdity-protector? ```

15247

```

Only an inspiring mind

And an aspiring heart

Are permitted to inhabit

My soul-realm. ```

15248

```

If you do not want to go

Beyond your life’s pleasure-zone,

You will never be able to see

And

You will never be able to claim

Your own Infinity’s immortal treasure. ```

15249

```

Is there anything

From which my aspiration-heart

Cannot protect my undisciplined vital?

Inviting temptation-intruder! ```

15250

```

My Lord Supreme,

A fleeting smile from Your Eye

Feeds my hungry heart

Most convincingly and most perfectly. ```

15251

```

O my mind,

Do not cherish the idea

That the spiritual life,

In your case,

Is out of the question.

No, no!

Make a solemn attempt.

You will see

That you will also be able

To equal my heart

In leading a spiritual life.

```

15252

```

Frankness I never expect

From the world-mind.

Fairness I never expect

From the world-eye.

But I do expect sweetness

From the world-heart. ```

15253

```

When I became a close friend

Of my doubting mind,

I was expelled

From God’s Heart-Paradise. ```

15254

```

God does read

Our confidential letters,

But He feels

That His Silence-Answers

Are infinitely more effective

Than any outer answer. ```

15255

```

When I listen

To my Lord’s Silence-Sermons,

I sing and dance

With my heart’s multiplied

Aspiration-flames.

```

15256

```

Who says that ignorance never quits?

Ignorance does quit

When we study in the school

Of our all-illumining soul. ```

15257

```

God soulfully and peacefully dances

When two human hearts

Speak in His Silence-Light-Language.

```

15258

```

The road that leads to God’s Heart

Can easily be shortened

If we dare to challenge

All temptation-attacks. ```

15259

```

Why waste your time

By reasoning

With your darkness-mind?

Can you not spend your time

In a most effective way

By loving and utilising your heart

More, ever more?

```

15260

```

A concentration-arrow,

A meditation-smile

And a contemplation-dance

Pave the way

To our perpetual progress-delight.

```

15261

```

The centuries of your mind’s

Accumulated ignorance-night

Can be illumined only by increasing

Your heart’s God-Compassion-receptivity. ```

15262

```

I never thought

That I would not shed

Even one teardrop

When I participated in the procession

At my mind’s doubt-funeral.

```

15263

```

A self-giving aspirant

Spreads his good thoughts

Sleeplessly

All over the world. ```

15264

```

Your gratitude-heart’s fragrance-dream

Will one day illumine

The length and breadth of the world.

```

15265

```

If you never do

Your life’s spiritual workout,

How can God make your heart ready

For His Satisfaction-Smile? ```

15266

```

If you are an early riser,

Then God will teach you

How to remove

Your aspiration-flames

From your desire-smoke.

```

15267

```

Have everything in readiness!

Your heart’s purity,

Your mind’s clarity,

Your life’s willingness:

Have them in readiness!

Your Lord Supreme

May at any moment arrive.

```

15268

```

My Lord’s Sweetness-Fondness-Presence

Has saved my life

Many, many times

Quite unexpectedly. ```

15269

```

He was killed

By nobody else,

But by the impure mind-thoughts

In his own spiritual life. ```

15270

```

Each detail of your self-giving life

Is most pleasing

To your Beloved Lord Supreme.

```

15271

```

There should always be

A strong partition

Between the aspiration-life

And the desire-life

Unless and until

The desire-life surrenders

To the beauty, purity and divinity

Of the aspiration-life. ```

15272

```

The grandiose dream

Of your mind

Is composed of

False and discouraging courage. ```

15273

```

O my God-manifestation-mind,

You have not yet started your journey.

How is it that you are telling me

That you are extremely tired

And that you need immediate rest?

```

15274

```

A God-Forgiveness-Smile

Is enough to help me stand against

My past teeming mistakes.

```

15275

```

I have secured my future

With my heart’s surrender-light

And my life’s gratitude-height.

```

15276

```

O my mind,

Never let doubt

Dominate you.

O my heart,

Never let impatience

Dominate you.

O my life,

Never let ingratitude

Dominate you.

```

15277

```

The doubtful mind

Is always afraid

Of being welcomed by anybody.

```

15278

```

A loving heart

Every day receives an invitation

From the entire world

To participate

In its joys and sorrows.

```

15279

```

If we study

At our heart’s school,

Then our future

Is not a sealed

But an open book.

```

15280

```

I assure you, my seeker-friend,

That your willingness-heart

Will never be the loser

In any divine adventure you undertake. ```

15281

```

From imagination to inspiration

Is a very short step.

From inspiration to aspiration

Is a long step.

From aspiration to realisation

Is a larger-than-the-largest step.

From realisation to God-manifestation

Is a birthless and deathless step. ```

15282

```

You are supposed

To be aware of everything,

But not to be involved in everything,

That you encounter in your life. ```

15283

```

When you separate

The lower self of a human being

From his higher self,

The lower self

Remains untransformed,

And the higher self

Is not totally satisfied,

For it does not have anyone

To play with at its own level.

```

15284

```

If you practise the art

Of compassion-light-distribution,

God will teach you the art

Of His Perfection-Satisfaction-distribution. ```

15285

```

My Lord Supreme,

I need only two Boons from You:

The illumination of my division-mind

And the expansion of my oneness-heart. ```

15286

```

Every day I send

My encouragement-champion-heart

To my despondency-failure-mind.

```

15287

```

After a deep soul-searching,

He has come to realise

That today’s self-discovery

And tomorrow’s world-mastery

Are both well-planned

By God’s Compassion-flooded Vision-Eye. ```

15288

```

The human mind is, by nature,

Afraid of riding

The fast transformation-train.

```

15289

```

A surrender-heart

Gets everything free of charge

From God’s world-satisfaction-market.

```

15290

```

For a searching mind,

For a crying heart

And for a smiling life,

There is no dead end. ```

15291

```

My seeker-friends,

If you really want

Most satisfactory progress

In your spiritual life,

Then you badly need

A very long vacation

From your doubting mind.

```

15292

```

When I hide something that I know

From God,

God cries —

Not because I am a clever man,

But because I do not love Him enough.

```

15293

```

God’s Compassion-Eye-School

Teaches us only one subject:

Forgiveness-delight.

```

15294

```

God allows me to read

His personal, confidential Diary

Only inside my heart-temple.

```

15295

```

God will not dispense with your services

If you do not please Him.

But neither will He give you

The highest salary —

His Satisfaction-Smile.

```

15296

```

It was too late

When I longed for perfection.

It was too soon

When I longed for satisfaction. ```

15297

```

In God’s Oneness-Hotel,

His Heart-Rooms

Can always

Take more guests. ```

15298

```

My seeker-friend,

You must never forget

To transform your mental clouds

Into your psychic radiance. ```

15299

```

God does not mind

If I am worthy or unworthy

Before my heart reaches out

For the illumination-stars. ```

15300

```

To me,

A watcher is great,

A doer is good,

But a oneness-lover

Is by far the greatest

And by far the best. ```
