Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 157

15601

```

God’s Eyes bless us

Every day.

God’s Heart forgives us

Every day.

God’s Soul inspires us

And encourages us

To be His choice instruments

Every day. ```

15602

```

God wants the faith

Of my purity-heart

To tame

My doubt-monkey-mind. ```

15603

```

When I run in my outer life,

God blesses me

With His Compassion-Eye.

When I dive in my inner life,

God blesses me

With His Satisfaction-Heart. ```

15604

```

Every day

You have to reconfirm

Your aspiration-reservation

On your heart-flight. ```

15605

```

Man’s sweetness-heart-hope

Is tremendously loved

By God’s Fulness-Heart-Promise.

```

15606

```

Our outer journey

Needs God’s Compassion-Eye

For its encouragement.

Our inner journey

Needs God’s Satisfaction-Heart

To reach its destination. ```

15607

```

Poor God,

I have punished You for so many years

With my desire-thoughts.

From now on I shall love You and adore You

With my aspiration-heart-oneness.

```

15608

```

Go forward, go forward!

Dive deep within, dive deep within!

The cosmic game, in your case,

Is not yet over.

You must accomplish more,

Infinitely more,

For the Lord Supreme.

```

15609

```

Can you not forget

Your mind’s insecurity,

Your mind’s demands,

Your mind’s unwillingness?

All your mind’s undivine qualities,

Can you not for a moment forget?

If you can,

Yours will be progress unimaginable! ```

15610

```

An ingratitude-seeker feels

That God’s Vision-Eye

Does not lead him and protect him.

```

15611

```

With my heart’s aspiration-cry

And my life’s dedication-smile,

Every day I try to free

At least one human being

From the fetters of ignorance-night.

```

15612

```

Do not wait

For God to cry for you!

Do everything devotedly and soulfully

Immediately,

So that you can see God smiling

And prevent God from crying. ```

15613

```

Every day

God puts the “Welcome” sign

On His Door.

He never uses

The “Do not disturb” sign.

```

15614

```

Your ignorance-dream-boat

Has to be shattered

Before God gives you

His own Eternity’s Vision-Dream-Boat. ```

15615

```

If you only conceal your problems,

And do not offer them

To your Lord Supreme,

Then they will become

Infinitely stronger.

```

15616

```

Your heart likes to sing —

Not to get God’s Attention,

But to proclaim God’s Compassion

And Satisfaction on earth. ```

15617

```

O tears of my mind,

I do not trust you,

I do not need you,

I want nothing to do with you!

You are false,

You are deceitful!

You want to feed me

With false satisfaction-promises. ```

15618

```

My mind is waiting

For the disappearance

Of my heart-faith.

My heart is waiting

For the appearance

Of my mind’s transformation-face.

```

15619

```

You must listen

To God’s Heart-Advice

Before you begin

To spend time with your mind. ```

15620

```

The disappearance

Of your mind-problems

Was not due to

What you said

Or what you did,

But because God wants you,

For His own inner Reason,

To be a choice instrument of His. ```

15621

```

Nobody has forced you

To swim in the sea

Of multitudinous problems.

It is you who wanted,

In secrecy supreme,

To enjoy this present life of yours. ```

15622

```

His heart-progress

Has been thwarted

By his exorbitant

Mind-success. ```

15623

```

There is not a single mortal

Who has not received

A Compassion-Call from God.

But there are so many human beings

Who shamelessly do not respond

To God’s Call. ```

15624

```

Alas, poor God every day receives

False hunger-cries

From humanity.

```

15625

```

There is nothing wrong

If you cry like a child

To draw God’s Attention.

Only if you do not cry

Is everything wrong with you

And everything wrong for you! ```

15626

```

When I look at my heart,

I feel so sad

That it has taken upon itself

The torture of my doubt-mind. ```

15627

```

God,

I have only one prayer.

That prayer is to love You only

And also, more and more,

At every moment.

```

15628

```

When I cherish

Doubt, suspicion and negativity

In my mind,

God suffers from a storm

In His Oneness-Heart-Life.

```

15629

```

My Beloved Compassion-Lord Supreme

Forgives me

Even when I offer Him

Unhealthy and unsolicited advice. ```

15630

```

God does not know,

For Himself,

What relaxation is.

He knows only one thing:

The illumination of mankind.

```

15631

```

O my strangling vital,

Can you not see

That God is standing

Right in front of you?

How stupid you are

To refuse to speak to God,

Your Beloved Lord!

```

15632

```

There is only one thing that always

Makes us unhappy and miserable,

And that is our deep fear of surrender

To God’s oneness-loving Will. ```

15633

```

O my dissatisfaction-vital,

You will never be satisfied

Unless you are ready

To have a heart-to-heart talk

With God’s Compassion.

```

15634

```

Obedience, constant obedience:

It is you who bring to me

From my Lord Supreme

Freedom-perfection to enjoy my life. ```

15635

```

The sword that I see

Inside the Eye of my Lord Supreme

Is not meant to destroy me,

But to frighten my unwilling mind

And illumine my God-fearing life.

```

15636

```

Although God receives

Message after message from humanity,

He does not mind

Reading its messages

Or hearing its messages.

But when He answers,

If humanity does not respond

To His Request,

Then definitely He minds.

```

15637

```

When the mind and the vital

Perform on my life-stage,

I watch them,

But with endless embarrassment. ```

15638

```

Whoever dreams

Of God’s Peace on earth

Is a beautiful, illumining

And all-fulfilling child of God. ```

15639

```

O my mind,

You have all along

Been an attention-monger.

Can you not now become

An aspiration-lover?

Try,

You are bound to succeed!

```

15640

```

I do not deserve it,

But God always keeps me

In His Compassion-Heart-Boat.

```

15641

```

My soul’s promise-sun

Will be fulfilled before long

By my heart’s breathless cries.

```

15642

```

God’s Compassion-Light

Knows no foreigners.

Therefore,

Everybody can knock

At His universal Heart-Door,

And He will immediately open it. ```

15643

```

My mind,

You are losing yourself

In hallucination-sky

With your doubts and suspicions.

In that way you will never be able

To perfect the world.

Never!

```

15644

```

To escape the mind’s

Torrential doubt-rain,

I soulfully, prayerfully and safely

Take shelter

Inside my faith-protected heart-nest.

```

15645

```

My purity-heart

Not only admires

But literally adores

All-giving God-lovers. ```

15646

```

To look at God’s Feet

Is not enough.

You have to place

Your life’s humility-breath

At His Feet.

```

15647

```

It is too much

For my faithful heart

To answer each and every

Absurd question

Of my doubt-cherishing mind.

```

15648

```

If you have a mind

Of great intentions,

If you have a heart

Of good aspiration,

And if you have a life

Of sleepless dedication,

Then your nature’s perfection

Cannot remain a far cry. ```

15649

```

A false teacher

And a false student

Have a very deplorable thing

in common:

An idle promise.

```

15650

```

In the inner world,

Whoever dreams of peace

Is undoubtedly a God-lover.

In the outer world,

Whoever works for peace

Is undoubtedly a God-server. ```

15651

```

Only your gratitude-heart

Has the capacity to value

God’s Satisfaction-Smile.

```

15652

```

Show the world what you have:

A dynamic promise.

Show God what you are:

A helpless breath. ```

15653

```

This world of ours

Is extremely familiar

With two hard realities:

A shallow mind

And a narrow heart.

```

15654

```

To bask in your heart’s

Happiness-sun,

Never be inside

The cave of frustration-darkness. ```

15655

```

Every day

I pray to see

My heart’s sunrise.

Every day

I meditate to be

A citizen of my soul’s

Vision-flooded clime. ```

15656

```

I do not pray to God

For sweet dreams.

I pray to God

To become the smile

Of my self-giving realities.

```

15657

```

If you do not have

A soulful love

For God the creation,

You will not be able

To sing your heart-melody

For any human being. ```

15658

```

When I heard my soul’s

Final departure-song,

I cried for my loss.

And, again, I smiled

Because of my soul’s gain.

```

15659

```

A mind of indecision

And a heart of hesitation

Create tremendous, sleepless sorrows

Inside the Compassion-Heart

Of our Lord Supreme.

```

15660

```

O my mind,

When are you going to say

A final good-bye

To your doubtful life?

Do you not think

That it is high time for you

To long for genuine satisfaction

For yourself

And for the satisfaction-hungry being

Inside you? ```

15661

```

What is my sorrow?

My sorrow is my own creation.

How did I create it?

I created it

From my God-unawareness

And from my God-unwillingness. ```

15662

```

O my mind,

You have been telling me

That you have nowhere to turn.

You have tried

Each and every place.

If so,

Then try one more place:

God’s Compassion-Heart-Nest. ```

15663

```

My Master’s all-illumining voice

Is my choice.

My Master’s choice

Is my mind,

Empty of doubt-songs.

```

15664

```

O my mind,

Give to my heart

Your unwillingness.

Give!

Give!

Do not keep it from my heart!

To your wide surprise,

My heart will transform

Your unwillingness

Into an ever-ready willingness. ```

15665

```

God’s Forgiveness-Feet

Invite

Not only my willingness-heart

But also my unwillingness-mind.

But my willingness-heart is invited

To be His hero-warrior

And my unwillingness-mind is invited

To be His fault-announcer. ```

15666

```

Each soulful thought

Is a climbing step

On my way

To God-realisation-summit. ```

15667

```

O my mind-tyrant,

How do you dare think

That you will be able

To lord it over me

Forever and forever?

I believe in God’s

Unconditional Grace

And I believe in your

Total transformation.

```

15668

```

I tell my Lord Supreme

That I have tried my best.

My Lord Supreme

Laughs and laughs at me,

And then He says,

“You can and you must try

Ten million times harder

To please Me and fulfil Me.” ```

15669

```

The easiest way to realise God

Is either to cry helplessly

Like a child

Or to establish

A God-surrendered oneness-life.

```

15670

```

God will give me a copy

Of His Self-Transcendence-Song

If I want to do only one thing:

To strike His Victory-Gong. ```

15671

```

When we fail to pass

The God-Justice-Examination,

God immediately blesses us

So we will try and succeed

In His Compassion-Height-Examination.

```

15672

```

May each thought of mine

Become as beautiful

As the prayer-dawn

Of my flower-heart. ```

15673

```

There is no light

At the mind’s unwillingness-door.

It is all darkness,

Darker than the darkest. ```

15674

```

O my mind,

You may think that your life

Has plenty of time.

But God tells me that His Will

Does not have that much time

For you. ```

15675

```

Why do I have to listen

To the dry philosophy

Of my truth-confusing mind

When I am fortunate enough to hear

The sweetness-song

Of my God-loving heart? ```

15676

```

You want to know

Why your heart’s aspiration-plant

Has withered.

Alas, can you not see

What you have done?

You have allowed your doubting mind

To challenge and defeat

Your oneness-blossoming

Aspiration-heart-plant.

```

15677

```

Each cheerfulness-smile

From my heart

Gives me the strength of a lion

And the beauty and purity

Of a larger-than-the-largest

Heart-garden. ```

15678

```

My farewell to my doubting mind

Is a task well completed.

My welcome to my surrender-life

Is a task well begun. ```

15679

```

O my imperfection-friend,

I call you my friend

Precisely because

I have not given up on you,

And also because

You are more than willing to change. ```

15680

```

God has not asked me

To count the steps

That lead to Heaven.

He has given me the job

Only of increasing

My heart’s gratitude-speed

So I can climb up the fastest.

```

15681

```

Every human life

Has many enemies,

But God-disobedience-enemy

Is the most dangerous. ```

15682

```

O my mind,

Your sincerity-strength

Has surprised you.

Now use your determination-strength.

It will surprise you

Infinitely more! ```

15683

```

Is there any truth-seeker

Who is not misunderstood?

Is there any God-lover

Who is not misunderstood?

Is there any God-representative

Who is not misunderstood?

Is there anything divine

That is not misunderstood? ```

15684

```

Misunderstanding

Is the most ancient disease.

But God has taken up the bold challenge

To conquer misunderstanding

With His Compassion-flooded Eye

And Forgiveness-flooded Heart. ```

15685

```

My heart plants hope-seeds

Inside each and every heart-garden.

But alas,

My mind does not plant

Even one hope-seed

Inside its jungle-life. ```

15686

```

Time is the sovereign

Of the foolish mind.

Time is the sovereign

Of the stupidity-mind.

But time is the most willing slave

Of the wisdom-soul. ```

15687

```

Nothing is important

In my outer life.

In my inner life,

Everything is important —

Especially the quality

Of my heart’s aspiration-cry

And the quantity of my soul’s

God-manifestation-smiles. ```

15688

```

My mind

Is always on the lookout

For self-interest-joy.

My heart

Is always on the lookout

For God-Satisfaction-Delight. ```

15689

```

Try to remain always

On the meditation-road.

Once you leave the meditation-road,

You are bound to enter into

Ignorance-mud, ignorance-dirt

And ignorance-clay. ```

15690

```

There can be no joy

In living

Either in jealousy-town

Or in insecurity-village. ```

15691

```

Because it is so easy

To betray the heart,

The mind does it every day.

Because it is so difficult

To love the mind,

The heart accepts the challenge

And does it daily,

Plus satisfactorily.

```

15692

```

God loves to cradle

Fondly and proudly

The breath of a oneness-purity-heart.

```

15693

```

Do you think God is happy

When He sees you crawling

With your incompetence-limbs?

No, He is not!

He is more than ready

To bless you

With the fastest speed-legs.

You can have them

For the soulful asking.

```

15694

```

Frustrated desires

Precede destruction.

Destruction precedes

Humanity’s complete failure. ```

15695

```

O my frustration-vital,

I have come to realise that

Unless you are ruthlessly battered

You are not going to change

Your life-style at all.

```

15696

```

Divinity’s Blessing

We can receive

Only when we purify our mind,

Energise our heart

And unify our life.

```

15697

```

Each time

I make a sweet promise

To my Lord Supreme,

He blesses me

With a new, sacred life-breath.

```

15698

```

O my mind’s

Overconfidence-ego,

Your hopeless and helpless downfall

Will take place infinitely sooner

Than you can ever imagine!

```

15699

```

God tells me

That He has seen me playing

Many, many times

My self-torture-game.

Now He wants me

To watch and participate in

His Heart-Rapture-Game.

```

15700

```

Your heart’s sunlit mountain-summit

You are going to climb without fail

In this incarnation.

Just be genuine in mind

And pure in heart!

```
