Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 159

15801

```

My Lord Supreme,

Your Satisfaction supreme

Is my life’s

Sweeter-than-the-sweetest dream. ```

15802

```

My heart’s faith

Is my life’s master-key

To open up not only

Everybody’s heart of love

But also everybody’s mind of willingness.

```

15803

```

If you have

A childlike enthusiasm,

Then this enthusiasm

Will put an end

To your anxiety-mind.

```

15804

```

The last time I saw God,

He told me to be careful

Of my mind’s complacent life.

He said, “Make friends

With your heart’s climbing cries

To make Me happy

And to make yourself fully satisfied.”

```

15805

```

In a moment of silence

God brings to the fore

My gratitude-heart,

And inside that gratitude-heart

I see God’s all-illumining

Fountain-Smile. ```

15806

```

When it is a matter of man’s aspiration,

There is a single lane of traffic.

But when it is a matter of surrender,

There is a double lane of traffic

Between man and God.

```

15807

```

An unfortunate report

Has come from Heaven

That right now

I am not needed at all. ```

15808

```

So many great obstacles

Have crossed my path,

But my soul’s adamantine will

Has surmounted them all. ```

15809

```

I am supremely happy

To have two genuine friends:

My clarity-mind

And my magnanimity-heart. ```

15810

```

When I strive for perfection,

God drives me

In His Satisfaction-Limousine.

```

15811

```

I love to live

In three special places:

Inside my humility-mind,

Inside my purity-heart,

Inside my simplicity-life.

```

15812

```

I do not see much difference

Between an aggressive vital

And a lethargic body.

They both ultimately lead

A human being

To destruction. ```

15813

```

Time used undivinely

Brings destruction.

Time used divinely

Brings not only perfection

But also satisfaction.

```

15814

```

Jealousy quite often

Helplessly surrenders

To despair.

```

15815

```

Never extinguish

Your heart’s hope-flames

If you want to see

The fulfilment-promise

Of your soul on earth.

```

15816

```

True, ignorant people

Do not suffer so much

From mental conflicts,

But their lives are utterly empty

Of peace, joy and bliss.

```

15817

```

I am divinely and supremely happy

Because my blue aspiration-bird

Is flying

On two beautiful and powerful wings. ```

15818

```

Nothing is permanent,

Not even my jealous

And voracious mind-doubts.

```

15819

```

There can be

No security-guarantee

In man’s possession-life.

```

15820

```

O my mind,

I feel extremely sorry for you.

Your vision is very limited

And you are only a gossip-expert. ```

15821

```

Every morning

I prayerfully touch

The Compassion-Feet

Of my Lord Supreme

With my heart’s gratitude-tears.

```

15822

```

No resentment-shackles

Of my mind

Can ever bind

My God-willingness-heart. ```

15823

```

My Heaven-climbing heart

Every day

Is energised by a fresh supply

Of energy-bliss. ```

15824

```

My rainbow-heart-hope

Has illumined

My mind’s doubt-cave.

```

15825

```

I have only one fond dream:

I long to see

The Feet of my Lord Supreme,

And prayerfully cry and cry

And majestically smile and smile.

```

15826

```

One desire-free moment

Is as blissful

As flying in my Lord’s

Delight-flooded Plane. ```

15827

```

An aspiration-heart

Is bound to melt eventually

In God-Eternity’s Nectar-Sea.

```

15828

```

If you cannot push aside

All your obstructions,

Then invoke your soul’s

Blessingful presence.

Your soul will help you

To do the needful. ```

15829

```

It is not so easy,

But not impossible,

To avoid

Ignorance-deception-trap. ```

15830

```

Every day

My heart’s miracle-hopes

Soar and fly

With my soul-bird

In God’s Nectar-flooded Sky.

```

15831

```

Silence blessingfully touched

My thought-chained mind

And liberated it.

```

15832

```

You just need an iota

Of heart-energising faith

To clear away

All your mind-doubt-debris. ```

15833

```

A soulful seeker has the capacity

To increase his inner ultramarathon distance

Every day

During his God-intoxicated meditation. ```

15834

```

Nothing is more beautiful,

Nothing is more meaningful,

Nothing is more fruitful

Than my heart’s God-hunger-dream. ```

15835

```

I do have

The confidence-capacity

To march far beyond

My mind’s insecurity-prison. ```

15836

```

No matter how fast

The mind runs,

Very easily

Fear, doubt and insecurity

Can overtake it.

```

15837

```

It is so strange

That the human mind

Likes to live

Under the hesitation-influence. ```

15838

```

I am so proud of my heart!

It sleeplessly keeps

The God-manifestation-dream burning

Bright, brighter, brightest. ```

15839

```

Never allow

Your mind’s confusion-clouds

To eclipse your climbing heart’s

Aspiration-summit. ```

15840

```

No unconditional life

Ever reaches a dead end.

It will always run

Faster than the fastest

Along Eternity’s

God-Satisfaction-Road. ```

15841

```

When stark falsehood

Prevails over truth,

The human life suffers

Its most humiliating defeat. ```

15842

```

I love the mind that challenges

The pride of impossibility.

But I dislike the mind

That deliberately enjoys

Absurdity.

```

15843

```

In my life

Nothing can be as sweet

As my life’s unconditional

Surrender-fruits. ```

15844

```

I am sleeplessly

And breathlessly fond of

My heart’s gratitude-blossoming glow.

```

15845

```

O my mind,

You are such a fool!

Can you not see

That you are chasing

The shadow of insecurity?

```

15846

```

Give what you have:

Insecurity.

Become what you are:

Wisdom.

Then you are ready

To reach for the summit

Of your soul’s bliss transcendental.

```

15847

```

O my purity-heart,

I am so fond of you,

I am so proud of you!

I shall always remain

Inside you,

Not above or below you. ```

15848

```

When my mind predicts

My uncertainty-flooded future,

My loving heart

Cries and cries

And my illumining soul

Laughs and laughs. ```

15849

```

Alas, alas!

I do not know

Why and how

The mind of humanity

Has become so fatality-prone.

```

15850

```

If you are a believer,

Then immediately I love you.

If you are a doer,

Not only do I love you

But also I need you,

And broadcast and extol you

To the skies.

```

15851

```

Because your mind

Is totally empty

Of divine grace,

Your imprisoned life

Is full of disgrace.

```

15852

```

Nothing was certain

In my life

Until I met my Lord’s

Forgiveness-flooded Feet

And Compassion-flooded Eyes.

```

15853

```

O my mind,

I am absolutely certain

That it is not beyond your capacity

To appreciate and admire

My all-loving heart.

```

15854

```

When your mind

Is short on sermons

And your heart

Is long on dedication-service,

Then your life is ready

For God’s Perfection-Manifestation. ```

15855

```

I am so happy

That my heart has now

Two extremely divine friends:

A God-loving tear

And a God-fulfilling smile.

```

15856

```

There is only one thing

That I never want to lose:

My heart’s perfection-cry

In my Lord’s Satisfaction-Smile. ```

15857

```

My Lord,

Nowadays You do not fulfil my desires.

Therefore, I am leaving You.

“My child,

Do you not think

That I have the capacity

To haunt you and chase you

And bring you back?” ```

15858

```

A sleepless and breathless

God-oneness-heart

Is larger

Than ten thousand climes. ```

15859

```

If you can learn

The gratitude-heart-language,

Then God will give you

His own Infinity’s Wisdom-Bliss. ```

15860

```

Finally,

His mind and vital

Have done away with

Temptation-attachment-emptiness. ```

15861

```

Alas,

Why am I so stupid?

Why do I have to be

A prisoner

Of my self-created doubt?

```

15862

```

At long last

I have unchained

My anxiety-life.

I am now enjoying

My Lord’s

Rainbow-Satisfaction-Smile. ```

15863

```

What the world

Desperately needs

Is a sincerity-heart’s

Purity-flower-fragrance. ```

15864

```

O my mind-child,

Come to me!

Come, leave behind you

Your self-imposed insecurity-torture.

Come, come to me!

I am all for you,

And I am all concern for you.

```

15865

```

The doubt-mind

Maliciously, without reason,

Sues the faith-heart

Only to lose the case

Badly.

```

15866

```

Last night

My mind’s ego-thief

I caught red-handed.

The ego-thief was stealing

My heart-ecstasy.

```

15867

```

My Lord,

Do tell me,

What would You like me

To talk about?

“My child,

I wish to hear from you

About your sincerity-mind-cry

And about your purity-heart-smile.” ```

15868

```

Neither God’s Compassion-Eye

Nor I

Can convince my mind

To do the right thing

And pray to God

For sleepless willingness.

Therefore,

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye and I

Have begged God’s Justice-Light

To come to our assistance. ```

15869

```

I have only two questions

To ask God:

Am I pleasing Him

In His own Way?

Is there any way

I can expedite earth-evolution? ```

15870

```

God is always ready

To bless us with rewards,

But only when we deserve the rewards

Do we become

Dependable and self-giving

Instruments of His. ```

15871

```

What is a human mind?

A human mind is something

That always likes to narrate

The story of God’s

Excessive Pride in it.

```

15872

```

Do not think

Of yesterday’s misfortunes.

Think of today’s fortune-smiles,

And think of the day after tomorrow’s

God-Satisfaction-Pride

In you. ```

15873

```

God does not want us

To take steps

Into the Unknowable.

He wants us only

To be perfect instruments

Of the Knowable. ```

15874

```

Wait!

Still there is a good chance

That your Lord Supreme

Will enter into your mind

To create God-hunger there.

```

15875

```

Today’s unhappiness

Must not be kept for removal

Until tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be another day

For me to either suffer new unhappiness

Or enjoy a flood of delight.

Today’s game I must play today

Wisely and perfectly. ```

15876

```

Go slowly, go steadily,

Go unerringly

Towards your

Destination supreme.

But never go back into your mind’s

Unlit uncertainty-cave. ```

15877

```

God is extremely unhappy

That man thinks and feels

That he has only fragile ties

With God. ```

15878

```

The human mind is cramped

By confusion-night

Because it does not believe in

The fragrance of the heart’s

Ever-new life.

```

15879

```

O my mind,

Do not give up!

You must continue chasing

Your unruly and wild thoughts.

You must capture them

And tame them. ```

15880

```

It is so strange

That the mind allows itself

To be bitten

By the doubt-mosquito. ```

15881

```

The human mind

Can also enjoy ecstasy-sea

If it makes friends with faith

The way the human heart

Has established its friendship

With faith. ```

15882

```

Only a God-representative

Can sumptuously feed

Your God-hungry heart.

```

15883

```

Each time my soul sings

A soul-song,

My life and I enjoy

The fastest Heaven-climbing flights. ```

15884

```

Self-hatred

Is a fatal disease.

Even the soul-doctor

Finds it difficult to cure. ```

15885

```

Two supreme necessities

Of today’s world:

A universal peace-blossomed heart

And the perfection-beauty

Of God’s Transcendental Smile.

```

15886

```

Nobody wants to hear

Your mind’s empty words.

Everyone wants to feel

Your heart’s self-offering feelings. ```

15887

```

An unwillingness-mind

And a failure-life

Are destined to remain

Inseparable. ```

15888

```

No matter how big

Or how small

The ego is,

It will have to surrender

To the vastness-heart.

```

15889

```

Once you come out

From behind your mind-barrier,

You can enter into the world

Of silence-ecstasy-dreams. ```

15890

```

God will definitely amplify

Your heart’s aspiration

And your life’s dedication.

He is just waiting

For the right moment

And the right place,

And also for the right audience.

```

15891

```

My heart was not born

To be a weeping citizen

Of an indifferent world.

My heart was born

To be a member

Of a God-blossoming

And God-fulfilling world.

```

15892

```

How to pass

God’s purity-examination?

Just develop more purity

In the mind,

More simplicity

In the life

And more self-giving

In the heart.

You will easily pass

God’s purity-examination. ```

15893

```

You will come to know of God

Last, very last,

If you allow your doubting mind

To betray your world-oneness-heart. ```

15894

```

If your mind is listed

In the doubt-directory,

That marks the final end

Of your life’s spiritual journey. ```

15895

```

O my mind,

I am tired

Of everything that I do

And everything that I say.

In effect,

I am tired of everything

And of every human being.

When are you going to become tired

Of your intimate friendship

With your ignorance-friend? ```

15896

```

It is not at all difficult

To find faith-medicine

In the heart-shop.

Again,

It is not at all difficult

To use it to cure

The mind’s doubt-disease.

```

15897

```

If your heart has the will

To struggle for

Perfect perfection in life,

I am absolutely sure

That God will bless your heart

With tremendous success. ```

15898

```

A simple life

And a pure heart

Are two God-servers

That keep man always happy. ```

15899

```

You cannot escape ignorance-attack

On your own.

You can escape ignorance-attack

Only when God’s

Unconditional Compassion-Eye

Plays the role of your Saviour. ```

15900

```

My Lord

Compassionately and blessingfully

Tells me that

He needs me

Infinitely more than ignorance needs me

Or than I need ignorance. ```
