Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 194

19301

```

Because I am devoted

To the inner life only,

Whatever my Inner Pilot

Asks me to do,

I do it soulfully

Plus cheerfully. ```

19302

```

I do not compete

With the rest of the world.

I compete only with myself,

For my progress is my true victory. ```

19303

```

If and when

Human beings get peace of mind

And inner security,

Only then will there be

Real peace in the world.

```

19304

```

I do not create the message;

God is supplying me

With His Message.

My job is only to deliver it

To the aspiring and crying humanity.

```

19305

```

The Music of our Lord Supreme

Is for those

Who are aspiring to become better,

Who love God’s creation

And want to serve it,

Who are sleeplessly dreaming of a world

Of peace and oneness.

```

19306

```

God is fully responsible

For my life.

I am responsible only

For my soulful willingness

To surrender my body, vital,

Mind, heart and soul

To God, my Inner Pilot.

```

19307

```

From this day on

I shall not underestimate

My heart-capacities

And not overestimate

My mind-capacities.

```

19308

```

I must be aware of the fact

That any God-idea

Can completely change my life.

```

19309

```

The perfection-dream

Of my life today

Was founded on

My yesterday’s self-giving. ```

19310

```

A comfort-seeking life

Will be

A victory-denied being.

```

19311

```

Command yourself first!

Only then will God

Demand everything from the world

For you. ```

19312

```

The remembrance

Of the past failure-life

Leads us to slow death.

The remembrance

Of the past surrender-heart

Leads us to God’s Embrace. ```

19313

```

God-dreamers are good.

God-lovers are better.

God-servers are the best.

```

19314

```

God the Compassion

Wants me to stand

Side by side with Him.

```

19315

```

You can make the fastest progress

If you can say,

“I came into the world

To love God, only God.

I came into the world

To serve God, only God.

I came into the world

To manifest God,

Only God.”

```

19316

```

The day I offer my life’s surrender

And my heart’s gratitude

To my Lord Supreme unconditionally

Is my real birthday,

The beginning of my new, divine life.

```

19317

```

God observes the seeker’s birthday

Only when He sees the seeker

Crying most sincerely

For his own perfect perfection in life. ```

19318

```

Success is visible

In the outer life.

Progress is visible

In the inner life.

But unlike success,

Progress brings with it

Abiding satisfaction.

```

19319

```

If you intensify your eagerness,

You receive more from God.

The increase of your inner wealth

Is the evolution

Of your inner, even outer, life.

```

19320

```

Every day

My aspiration-heart is singing songs

Of love, devotion, surrender

And gratitude

To my Lord Beloved Supreme,

Him to please

In His own Way.

```

19321

```

Music is the universal language.

May we all live,

Through soulful music,

In the world-heart’s oneness-home. ```

19322

```

It is God-songs alone

That melt my heart

And touch the very depths

Of my inner being. ```

19323

```

Spontaneous God-love

Does not need

Any explanation.

```

19324

```

Each time I devotedly dive within,

I feel I am going deep,

Deeper, deepest,

Where I find Infinity’s Bliss. ```

19325

```

Some seekers shed crocodile tears

In the twinkling of an eye.

Alas, they never feel the beauty

Of their real heart-tears. ```

19326

```

What we need is soulful oneness,

Not outer mastery.

We must offer our oneness-height

To the God-lovers and truth-seekers

Who are looking for peace

In their lives. ```

19327

```

There is not a single moment

When our heartbeat

Is not singing a song.

But we must make sure

It is a God-fulfilling song.

```

19328

```

Fulfilment you want?

Before the interference

Of the mind begins,

Fulfil yourself by identifying

With the spirit’s voice within.

```

19329

```

For God-lovers, music-lovers

And divinity-lovers,

Each soulful song

Is a most delicious inner banquet. ```

19330

```

Each soulful song

Gives the quintessence

Of one hundred pages

Full of inspiration, aspiration

And delight.

Each soulful song

Is a short-cut

To our destination:

The Golden Shore. ```

19331

```

With our soulful prayers

Let us enter into the consciousness

Of the truth-seekers and God-lovers,

Together to create a new life and a new world

For a new generation.

```

19332

```

O seeker,

The Supreme is more than willing

To give you something,

But you also have to be willing

To receive it.

```

19333

```

The endless fountain of creativity

Comes from only one Source,

And that Source

Is the unconditional Compassion

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

19334

```

Our Lord Supreme bestows upon us

His unconditional Compassion-Light,

And according to our receptivity

He creates in and through us. ```

19335

```

The outer world

Has to be consciously awakened.

Only then will it be willing

To devotedly accept

The beauty and divinity

Of the inner world. ```

19336

```

My heart-cries are invited

By God’s blue-gold soaring birds

To accompany them to the skies

Of the ever-transcending Beyond. ```

19337

```

My Lord Supreme,

Every day I fail You,

Yet repeatedly

You give me another chance. ```

19338

```

Fearful are my mind’s tears.

Deceitful are my vital’s tears.

Beautiful are my heart’s tears.

Powerful are my soul’s tears.

Fruitful are my life’s tears.

```

19339

```

Once you enter

Into the spiritual life,

You have to realise

That your human pride has no place,

But your divine pride has.

```

19340

```

May my prayer-mind-flower

Be multiplied every morning.

May my meditation-heart-fragrance

Be multiplied every evening. ```

19341

```

Each aspiring heart

Eventually becomes fluent

In God’s Oneness-Heart-Language.

```

19342

```

Although God’s Plans

Are inconceivable

And God’s Dreams

Are unimaginable,

God Himself

Is always lovable. ```

19343

```

Devotion empty of gratitude

Does not and cannot please

The Inner Pilot Supreme.

```

19344

```

When the mind lives under

A cloud of suspicion,

The life is forced to accept

The arrival of destruction. ```

19345

```

Each time I become a desire-victim,

I go farther and farther away

From my Lord’s Compassion-Eye

And Perfection-Feet. ```

19346

```

Each time you disappoint your soul,

You get a sound scolding

From your soul,

Although you may not be aware of it.

When the scoldings do not produce any effect,

There comes a time when the soul dances

Its destruction-dance

In your life. ```

19347

```

Everybody can claim to be

A God-seeker.

Everybody cannot claim to be

A God-server. ```

19348

```

God loves those

Who have constant faith-energy

And faith-dynamism

In God and for God. ```

19349

```

The obedience-passengers

In the Golden Boat

Are the true pride

Of the Golden Boatman. ```

19350

```

God sings a Satisfaction-Song

At the end

Of each self-giving deed of ours.

```

19351

```

A spiritual Master is the collector

Of countless experiences

From countless lives.

```

19352

```

My Lord Supreme tells me

In strict confidence

That my life’s perfection will dawn

Only when I see cheerfully

His blessingful and purposeful Presence

In all human beings with no exception.

Needless to say,

This includes my enemies. ```

19353

```

Aspiration-opportunity,

Dedication-opportunity,

Manifestation-opportunity:

These three are indeed

God’s unconditional Blessing-Boons.

```

19354

```

The very purpose of time

Is to lead mankind forward,

Not backward,

To its supreme destination. ```

19355

```

Love, devotion, surrender:

These three divine boons

Not only can save humanity,

But also can raise humanity

To the sky of Infinity’s Delight.

```

19356

```

Immortal progress

Belongs to

Eternity’s self-offering.

```

19357

```

Today is the day

For me to claim God

As my own, very own.

Today is the day

For me to prove to God

And the whole world

That I live on earth

Only for God-manifestation

And God-Satisfaction.

```

19358

```

When wisdom dawns,

We invite our new

Aspiration-brothers and sisters

To replace our old desire-friends. ```

19359

```

God is not the one who recognises

My earthly calendar-age.

God is the one who tells me

I live inside the heart

Of Eternity’s here and now.

```

19360

```

Never give up hope

If you want to become

The beauty of your heart

And the fragrance of your soul. ```

19361

```

A complicated mind

Is afraid of joy.

Therefore,

It does not allow joy

To come in.

```

19362

```

My aspiration-heart-blossoms

Are indeed the certificates of merit

From my Lord Supreme.

```

19363

```

The heart receives

Blessing-Light from God.

The life achieves

Perfection only in God. ```

19364

```

I do not want to become

The king

Of the desiring minds.

I want to become

The brother

Of the aspiring hearts. ```

19365

```

What are you doing, my mind?

When are you going to invite God

To bless you, love you

And illumine you? ```

19366

```

What makes you think,

O my mind,

That I need you desperately?

Have I not told you time and again

That you have always been wrong

And you have always misled

And misguided me?

```

19367

```

This is the human life-story:

Confusion within,

Confusion without.

Confusion reigns supreme

All-where in human life.

```

19368

```

The great dream

Is love.

The greater dream

Is surrender.

The greatest dream

Is peace. ```

19369

```

Study your own life

Until the end of your life.

See how often and how much

You have loved God

In His own Way.

```

19370

```

The more we walk towards happiness

For our personal gain,

The farther away we go

From true happiness-shore. ```

19371

```

Believe in your heart’s

Purity-strength.

You will be able to conquer

The farthest length

Of your impurity-mind.

```

19372

```

If you keep your gratitude-heart

Locked within,

How can you ever see

God’s Rainbow-Smiles? ```

19373

```

Who deceives me most?

My deception-mind.

Who occupies my thoughts?

My impure mind. ```

19374

```

Age need not bind you.

Age need not blind you.

Age should only help you

To see the real in you

As soon as possible.

```

19375

```

Divine success will be found

Not in the persistence-vital,

Not in the insistence-mind,

But in the self-giving aspiration-heart. ```

19376

```

When you do not expect anything

From this world,

The whole world will be ready

To be at your express command. ```

19377

```

I am not proud of what I have.

I am not proud of what I am.

I am only proud of being

A regular student

In the inner aspiration-school.

```

19378

```

Purity, sincerity, humility:

These divine gifts I am receiving

From my aspiration-heart

On a day-to-day basis. ```

19379

```

Every day

For God’s powerful Presence

Inside my mind,

I pray.

Every day

For God’s peaceful Presence

Inside my heart,

I meditate. ```

19380

```

Our earthly attachment

And our Heavenly disobedience

Are together found.

```

19381

```

I do not want to be

A world-competition-fighter.

I want to be

A self-transcendence-seeker. ```

19382

```

Technology-supremacy

Cannot and must not

Dominate

The heart’s oneness-ecstasy. ```

19383

```

When faith is absent

From the mind,

Hope disappears

From the heart. ```

19384

```

I am trying to live

On only two things:

My aspiration-breath

And my dedication-heart. ```

19385

```

Success comes to me

When I say, “I can.”

Progress comes to me

When I say, “God alone can,

God alone does,

In and through me.” ```

19386

```

Everything in this world

Is similar and familiar.

But nothing can I dare

To claim as my own. ```

19387

```

Alas, an earth-bound life

Is empty of aspiration,

Even of imagination.

```

19388

```

Divine love cannot be exported

Or imported,

But it can blossom everywhere.

```

19389

```

My unwillingness-mind,

I am not looking for

Your extinction.

I am only waiting for

Your transformation.

```

19390

```

May my hope grow.

May my promise glow.

May my compassion flow.

```

19391

```

O my aspiration-heart,

Show no compassion to my mind

When it deliberately wants

To be surrounded

By the thickest ignorance-fog.

```

19392

```

When I am in my ignorance-mind,

I ask the world to change for me.

When I am in my wisdom-heart,

I ask the world to change only for God. ```

19393

```

I am entranced

Not by God’s Justice-Light,

But by His Forgiveness-Delight.

```

19394

```

The human mind is made of

Godless and aimless centuries.

The human heart is made of

God-aspiration and

God-dedication-millennia.

```

19395

```

God-obedience expedites

Our life-boat-journey

Far, far beyond our imagination.

```

19396

```

Your mind-prayer cannot grant you

Silence-perfection

And silence-satisfaction.

Your heart-meditation

Can and does.

```

19397

```

The expectation-mind

Is sooner or later responsible

For a frustration-life.

```

19398

```

Self-doubt

Tortures hope-plants

And uproots confidence-trees.

```

19399

```

O ignorance-night,

I am cancelling once and for all

All our forthcoming appointments.

```

19400

```

At every moment,

Each time we breathe in

Or breathe out,

May our life-breath sing

The supreme Victory-Song

Of our Lord Beloved Supreme. ```
