Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 184

18301

```

My Supreme Lord,

To spread Your Message-Light

All around the globe,

I shall make my heart pure. ```

18302

```

Silence I desire

In my vital and in my mind.

Without silence,

I am bound to be

A hopeless failure.

```

18303

```

O Beauty infinite,

O Love infinite,

Do come down, come down,

To transform my mind of clay. ```

18304

```

I long to fly

Like the birds in the freedom-sky.

No more do I want to remain below

In the attachment-world

In utter helplessness-sighs.

```

18305

```

My stupid mind loves

The desire-prison.

Therefore darkness, only darkness,

Within, without, I see. ```

18306

```

When I try to satisfy

Everybody’s heart,

My soul-bird dances

Ecstasy’s dance. ```

18307

```

Awake, awake, My Lord, awake!

Awake, awake today.

You I shall worship

With my devotion-heart.

You I shall give

My flower-casket. ```

18308

```

Into the world I came,

Myself to offer day and night.

This sweetness-message

I shall proclaim

With infinite delight.

```

18309

```

For peace I shall cry,

For peace I shall cry.

Cheerfully I shall bind

My little “I”

At Your Feet divine.

```

18310

```

O newness in Heaven,

O newness on earth,

Newness within, newness without,

Come, come, in silence come.

To my Lord Supreme

I desire to offer

My success-victory-light.

```

18311

```

In the world of the unknown I roam

In search of the God unknown.

One day I shall see

My Beloved Lord Supreme

In my meditation’s deepest depth.

```

18312

```

I know, I know,

Ignorance does not want

To leave me.

To cast my ignorance aside,

Therefore,

I cry for the Compassion-Light

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

18313

```

Knowing perfectly well

The consequences,

In utter pleasure-life

Teeming mistakes I have made.

Therefore, my Lord,

The Golden Shore

Nowhere I see.

```

18314

```

Today I shall place my old life

Inside a cave completely sealed.

Fully blossomed I shall become,

And myself I shall raise

To the highest summits

Inside the dream of the ever-new. ```

18315

```

Day and night I roam and roam

With my mind

Inside the thick of the thought-thorn-forest.

Therefore, I fail to see myself

Inside my own heart’s wealth infinite.

```

18316

```

Each aspiration-heart

Carries in it

A special dream-fragrance

Of God’s Vision-Light. ```

18317

```

I am determined

Not to sing any more

The songs of man’s

Imperfection-wrongs. ```

18318

```

Today’s insincerity-mind

Will be held

In tomorrow’s ruthless fear-grip.

```

18319

```

O seeker,

Do not stop to look back.

The goal is ahead.

Run as fast as God wants you to! ```

18320

```

If we want to reach

The ultimate Goal,

Then we must not allow

Our marathon enthusiasm-fire

Ever to be extinguished.

```

18321

```

If you are afraid of impossibility,

Then you can never be enriched

By the plenitude

Of your heart’s inner power. ```

18322

```

Simplicity, sincerity and purity

Can easily silence

The complication-confusion-mind.

```

18323

```

If we wholeheartedly long for

Perfection-life,

Then God will come to us

As His whispering Wisdom-Fountain. ```

18324

```

If you want Peace infinite

In your mind,

Then you must pray and meditate

To go beyond, far beyond,

The realm of man-made

Division-thought-boundaries. ```

18325

```

An expectation-free commitment

Is undoubtedly the beginning

Of a life’s enlightenment.

```

18326

```

If you want to be

Unfettered by desires,

Then pray to God

For the daily death

Of your mind’s attachment-life.

```

18327

```

My heart feels

That there is only one thing dependable

On earth,

And that is God’s Compassion-Shower. ```

18328

```

A choice God-runner

Smilingly, lovingly and unconditionally

Runs at least one inner marathon

Every day. ```

18329

```

Alas,

The tragedy of a complicated mind

Is that it paves the way

To utter suspicion-confusion. ```

18330

```

If your meditation-roots

Are not really deep,

Then God’s smiling Eyes

And singing Heart

Will not be able to bless you.

```

18331

```

In the unhorizoned stillness

Of the mind

God’s Perfection-Satisfaction-Divinity

Abides. ```

18332

```

I do not think

That there can be anything

Sweeter and more fragrant

Than the sweetness and fragrance

Of inner peace.

```

18333

```

The togetherness

Of our hearts

Is the fulness

Of God’s Satisfaction-Soul. ```

18334

```

Alas,

Most human beings are blinded

By their own

Ingratitude-heart-nights. ```

18335

```

The heart’s gratitude-journey

Is always beckoned

By the fulness

Of God’s Golden Shore. ```

18336

```

When your heart and eyes radiate

With love divine,

Infinity’s Peace comes and blesses

Your life’s aspiration-journey. ```

18337

```

Self-doubt is bound to chase you

If God-faith within you

Does not become

Stronger than the strongest. ```

18338

```

Remain inside

The aspiration-fountain

If you want to climb up

To the realisation-mountain-summits. ```

18339

```

When I do not consciously

And prayerfully aspire,

I become the rise and fall

Of my own heart-kingdom. ```

18340

```

My everyday goal

Is to be of service

To every aspiring heart

And every serving life. ```

18341

```

What I need is

Deep harmony and sweet peace

To stop the rain

Of non-stop anxiety-blows. ```

18342

```

Only a self-giving heart

Has the right

To establish a direct contact

With its all-illumining soul. ```

18343

```

Study life’s sincerity-lessons

And heart’s purity-lessons.

God the Teacher will bless you

With His mighty Satisfaction-Pride. ```

18344

```

If you want to proceed

Quickly and perfectly

Towards the destination,

Then look at your life

From your soul’s wisdom-height,

And not from your mind’s intelligence-plain. ```

18345

```

You fool!

God does not want you to choose

The difficult over the easy

To arrive at His Heart-Home. ```

18346

```

My mind’s newness-beauty

I love.

My heart’s fulness-fragrance

I need. ```

18347

```

My Lord,

Repeated failures

Cannot paralyse me.

But Your displeasure-Face can. ```

18348

```

Each soulful thought of mine

Paves the way

To mankind’s perfection-life.

```

18349

```

Every day

My gratitude-heart and I

Decorate the Feet

Of our Lord Supreme. ```

18350

```

O world’s purity-flower-heart,

Where are you?

O world’s impurity-thorn-mind,

Where are you not? ```

18351

```

No human mind

Can enter into

The thought-free Silence-Beyond.

```

18352

```

God I invoke

To visit my self-giving shore.

Me God invites

To His all-blossoming Shore. ```

18353

```

With my aspiration-heart

I sit at the Feet of God.

With my dedication-life

I become a member of God’s Family. ```

18354

```

The whisper of the Silence-Beyond

Awakens humanity

From its death-bound sleep.

```

18355

```

A self-giving heart

Is the fastest

Upward climber.

```

18356

```

May my soul dream on

Until its dreams

Come perfectly true.

```

18357

```

May my soul’s dance

Be Heaven’s gift to earth.

May my heart’s song

Be earth’s gift to Heaven. ```

18358

```

May I not, my Lord,

Lose Your private phone number.

May I not, my Lord,

Lose Your home address. ```

18359

```

May I not receive

Old age

When it arrives for me.

```

18360

```

May I unconditionally bow,

My Lord,

To each and every Wish

Of Yours. ```

18361

```

May I walk with You,

My Lord,

Willingly, happily and self-givingly

Every morning. ```

18362

```

May my aspiration-attempts

Be not only quick,

But also enduring.

```

18363

```

May I not be a fool

To miss God’s

Morning Meditation-Invitation.

```

18364

```

May I remove every day

Stark doubt-daggers

From my mind.

```

18365

```

May I always be found

Between the realisation-heart

And the God-manifestation-life.

```

18366

```

May I not be fool enough

To ever spring

An unwelcome surprise on God.

```

18367

```

May I every morning play

With my aspiration-heart

And its sunrise-smile.

```

18368

```

May my heart always remain

Wide open

For Love divine to enter.

```

18369

```

There was a time

When the poet in me

Prayerfully desired to roam and roam

Inside my heart-garden.

The poet in me now sleeplessly cries

To clasp the flower-beauty

Of my heart-garden.

And before long, the poet in me

Will meditatively grow into

The nectar-fragrance-delight

Of my heart-garden.

```

18370

```

My mind needs

Self-awareness.

My heart needs

God-fulness. ```

18371

```

Alas, alas, alas,

I am

My God-disobedience-downfall.

```

18372

```

My mind prays to God

For a greatness-life

To conquer the world.

My heart prays to God

For a goodness-life

To love the world.

And I pray to God

For a surrender-breath

To please God in His own Way.

```

18373

```

God says to me,

“Come in, My child,

My Heart’s Rainbow-Wings

Are waiting for you.”

God says to my heart,

“Come in, My child,

My Heart’s Rainbow-Wings

Are waiting for you.”

God says to my mind,

“I am sorry, My child,

There is no more room.”

```

18374

```

Supreme, Supreme, my Lord Supreme,

You are lovingly, compassionately,

Untiringly and unconditionally

Preparing me

To be a choice instrument of Yours

For the fulfilment

Of Your Earth-Transformation-Dream.

And what do I do?

Every day I show You

My haughty mind

And give You

My ungrateful heart. ```

18375

```

My Lord Supreme, my Lord Supreme,

Please give me a new heart

To treasure Your infinite Tears.

Please give me two new eyes

To reveal Your immortal Smile.

Please give me a new mind

To please You sleeplessly

And breathlessly

In Your own Way.

```

18376

```

My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord,

I came not alone.

I came with Your Infinity’s

Compassion-Blessing-Light.

My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord,

I shall go not alone.

I shall go with Your Immortality’s

Perfection-Satisfaction-Delight. ```

18377

```

My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord,

I was Your Life-Infinity’s

Vision-Flute-Melody.

My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord,

I am now Your Heart-Immortality’s

Victory-Drum-Delight. ```

18378

```

My Lord, there was a time

When I was a spirituality-orphan.

I am now a spirituality-infant.

My Lord, what shall I be next?

“My child,

You will be a spirituality-giant,

And I shall make of you

My hero-warrior

To manifest My Transcendental Dreams

On earth.” ```

18379

```

My Lord Supreme,

What a beautiful

God-blossoming morning!

Alas, my mind is too feeble

To embody my God-gratitude.

Alas, my heart is too stupid

To accept my Lord’s God-Compassion.

Alas, my life is too blind

To see my Lord’s God-Perfection.

My Lord Supreme,

Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me!

```

18380

```

My Lord, my Lord,

My life was once a long story

Of my mind’s

Desire-reality-forest.

My Lord, my Lord,

My life is now a God-loving,

God-serving and God-pleasing song

Of my heart’s

Aspiration-dream-garden.

My Lord, my Lord,

My name is now my gratitude-heart.

```

18381

```

My Lord Supreme,

Last night You had

A most significant Dream.

In Your Dream You made me

Your most perfect and choicest instrument.

My Lord Supreme,

Last night I, too, had

A most significant dream.

In my dream I clearly saw You happy,

Unimaginably happy,

For the first time in my entire life.

```

18382

```

Forgiveness

Is my soul’s God-choice.

Gratitude

Is my heart’s God-choice.

Surrender

Is my life’s God-choice.

Perfection

Is my God-choice.

Self-transcendence

Is my Lord’s God-choice. ```

18383

```

My Lord Supreme,

How can I realise

Your highest Divinity

And Your transcendental Heights?

“My child,

There is only one way —

The way of love, devotion

And surrender.

You can try other ways,

But you are bound to fail.

Happiness you want?

Mine is the only Way.

Fulfilment you want?

Mine is the only Way.” ```

18384

```

My Lord, my Lord,

May Your Divinity’s Beauty

And Your Immortality’s Fragrance

Play hide-and-seek

Inside the aspiration-breath

And dedication-life

Of my Fountain-Art.

```

18385

```

My sleepless heart-hunger

Is my golden opportunity-sun

To love, serve and fulfil

My Lord Supreme

In His own Way.

```

18386

```

Only the smiling silence-life

Can bring down the Absolute Supreme

In His Transcendence-Delight.

```

18387

```

My soul is extremely proud

Of reading my heart’s

Surrender-book.

```

18388

```

To get a satisfaction-trophy

From God,

Offer God

Your perfection-life. ```

18389

```

Who can live on earth

Without feeding his heart’s

Hope-hunger?

```

18390

```

I went to God

For consolation.

He gave me

Illumination instead. ```

18391

```

The height of genuine devotion

Can never be reached

By frustration’s arms.

```

18392

```

Your heart’s silence-peace

Will not permit you

To lie to God.

```

18393

```

What I need to know

Is if God will ever

Be pleased with me.

```

18394

```

My Lord, my Lord,

Give me a doubt-free mind!

My Lord, my Lord,

Give me a fear-free heart!

My Lord, my Lord,

Give me a worry-free life! ```

18395

```

O God the Compassion-Eye,

Do not, do not

From me withdraw!

```

18396

```

My Lord, my Lord,

My heart breathlessly needs

To hear from Your Heart.

```

18397

```

In a moment’s ticking,

God can make me

Another God.

Of course, if He wants to! ```

18398

```

My Lord,

Sulking I came to You.

Smiling I am returning.

```

18399

```

My Forgiveness-Lord

Is begging me

And commanding me

To steal into His Heart. ```

18400

```

I sacrifice

Only what is unreal:

My ignorance-possession.

I keep and I shall always keep

The things that are real:

My love of God,

My oneness with God

And my longing for God-Satisfaction

In God’s own Way.
