Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 251

25001

```

Everything that is beautiful,

Inspiring and aspiring

Can easily be found

Inside our heart-garden. ```

25002

```

It is not a wise thing

To reduce everything

To uniformity.

```

25003

```

God’s Compassion-Eye

Every day descends upon us

With an extremely sweet Smile.

```

25004

```

If one eye is in desire-life

And one is in aspiration-heart,

How can we successfully proceed

Towards our Destination? ```

25005

```

May my heart-room

Never have space

For my mind

And its millions of thoughts. ```

25006

```

A sleepless self-giver

Wins a free access

To God’s Peace-Kingdom.

```

25007

```

I do not want each moment

To contain a God-Secret.

I want each moment

To contain a God-Smile. ```

25008

```

All that I am

I owe only

To my Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

25009

```

Whenever I give

And to whomever I give,

I always give

With the simplicity, sincerity

And beauty of my heart,

And never with my hands. ```

25010

```

Not God’s Justice-Eye,

But His Compassion-Heart

Presides over

Our Heaven-climbing evolution. ```

25011

```

May each and every meditation

Of mine

Be a blossoming heart

Of my love for God. ```

25012

```

Each soulful thought

Has Heaven-climbing,

Soaring wings.

```

25013

```

In my deep meditation

I always breathe in

A flood of delight-fragrance.

```

25014

```

Each prayer from the heart

Is a self-offering-flame

To our Lord Beloved Supreme.

```

25015

```

I feed my heart

With the nectar-drops

Of my aspiration-heart-cries.

```

25016

```

My all-illumining soul tells me

That it is not an impossible task

For me to fight against

And conquer

My mind’s doubt-troops.

```

25017

```

The prayer-beauty

Of my searching mind

And the meditation-fragrance

Of my aspiring heart

Will forever remain unparalleled.

```

25018

```

An obedience-heart

Finds no difficulty

In following

Only God’s sunlit Path. ```

25019

```

May each moment

Of my life

Be the sweetness-fragrance

Of my heart-rose. ```

25020

```

Each deep meditation

Can reap

Happiness-fulness-harvest.

```

25021

```

If the mind has enthusiasm

And the heart has eagerness,

Then there is nothing

That can remain unaccomplished. ```

25022

```

The soul’s confidence-light

At God’s choice Hour

Uproots all the insecurities

Of our heart. ```

25023

```

My prayerful and soulful service-life

Is, indeed, the Satisfaction-Delight

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

25024

```

My self-giving life

Is the singing Heart

Of my Absolute Lord Supreme.

```

25025

```

If you have a gratitude-heart,

Then, without fail,

You will be able to take in

The breath of inner awakening. ```

25026

```

My God-gratitude-heart

Is my soul’s

Fountain-bliss-divinity.

```

25027

```

Our mind’s determination-wrestler,

Without fail, has to defeat

The temptation-wrestler of our vital.

```

25028

```

Nothing can be sweeter

Than the fragrance

Of our self-giving heart.

```

25029

```

My life’s pendulum

Swings from my heart’s hope

To my soul’s promise.

```

25030

```

Is God suffering because of me?

My sincerity-heart will answer

In the affirmative.

My insincerity-mind will answer

In the negative.

```

25031

```

My Lord Supreme,

If You do not break my head,

Then who will garland my heart?

```

25032

```

When I wonder how God still loves me,

God tells me

That His Hope for me

Will remain immortal. ```

25033

```

You can read a million books;

You may at most get God-inspiration,

But not God-realisation.

For God-realisation, you have to study

Only at your heart’s core.

```

25034

```

My Lord, I feel not only pure

But also perfect

When I place Your Feet

Upon my heart. ```

25035

```

My heart-tears and my soul-smiles

Always live together

Inside God’s Satisfaction-Heart.

```

25036

```

O my stupidity-mind,

Why do you always hide

From God’s all-illumining

And all-fulfilling Smile? ```

25037

```

I have sought shelter

Here, there, everywhere.

At long last,

I have found my only shelter

Inside the smiles of God’s Name.

```

25038

```

Our heart is meant

For oneness-love.

Our life is meant

For fulness-blossom. ```

25039

```

Self-giving sees always

The secret Guidance

Of our Lord Supreme.

```

25040

```

God is not going to embrace

Your aspiration-heart

If you do not escape the embrace

Of your pleasure-life. ```

25041

```

I am extremely proud

Of my Lord Supreme.

Why?

Because He can be

Utterly indifferent to me

To make my inner life

And outer life perfect.

```

25042

```

I know there shall come a time

When my desire-life will come to an end.

And now

My desire-life’s sincere plea to God:

“My Lord, do not give up on me!”

```

25043

```

My Lord, I pray to You

To bless me with a special Boon:

I would like to travel with You

Tirelessly and sleeplessly. ```

25044

```

My Lord, when I visit You

I become Your blessingful Smile.

My Lord, when You visit me

You become my prayerful cries. ```

25045

```

My Lord, why do I try to fathom

The depth of Your Compassion-Ocean?

Why?

My Lord, why do I try to measure

The length of Your Forgiveness-Sky?

Why? ```

25046

```

My Lord, do not avoid me,

Do not ignore me,

For this time, without fail,

I shall please You

In Your own Way.

```

25047

```

My Lord, once more

Appoint me compassionately.

This time

I shall prayerfully and self-givingly

Satisfy You.

```

25048

```

Self-indulgence I must shun

If I want to see the Rainbow-Smile

Of my Lord Supreme.

```

25049

```

My Lord, in countless ways

I have tried and I have failed

To keep You permanently

In the tears and smiles

Of my aspiration-heart.

```

25050

```

When you want to succeed,

Use your vital-dynamo.

When you want to proceed,

Use your heart-tears. ```

25051

```

God’s Vastness does not mind

Living inside my life’s smallness,

As long as God gets a sweet smile

From my heart every day. ```

25052

```

My Lord, my desire-life

Pains You badly.

Yet I do not know why

I do not give up my desire-life

And embark on my aspiration-life.

```

25053

```

God does not need

My heart-temple.

He needs only

My aspiration-breath-shrine. ```

25054

```

My Lord Supreme

Not only tells me when to fight,

But also tells me how to fight

Against my inner enemies:

Doubt, insecurity, impurity

And unwillingness. ```

25055

```

O seeker,

If you do not want to leave behind

Your unaspiring mind,

Then beg your aspiring heart

To bring God’s Compassion-Presence

Inside your unaspiring mind. ```

25056

```

When my heart becomes

A sleepless God-hunger,

God the Compassion feeds me

With His entire universal Existence. ```

25057

```

My Lord, may my outer life become

The Beauty of Your Eye,

And may my inner life become

The Fragrance of Your Heart. ```

25058

```

My Lord, when I tell You

That I do not need You,

Please do not take me seriously,

Even for a fleeting second. ```

25059

```

My Lord, when You tell me

That You do not need me,

Please give me the capacity

To believe You immediately. ```

25060

```

My Lord, do show me the way

To please You

So that I can devotedly

And self-givingly be worthy

Of Your Compassion-flooded

Love and Need. ```

25061

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do give me the capacity

To open my heart

As often as I open my hands. ```

25062

```

God’s Eye

Can and shall cradle

Always

My self-giving oneness-heart. ```

25063

```

May my heart

Every day become

A sacred and portable

God-shrine. ```

25064

```

My heart, cry and cry,

For this is the only way

To drink deeply

From God’s Nectar-Fountain-Heart. ```

25065

```

Life becomes an all-fulfilling song

When God invites us

To powerfully strike His Heart-Gong.

```

25066

```

A most powerful meditation begins

Only after God has touched

Our aspiration-heart.

```

25067

```

My heart is afraid of God’s Face

Only when

My mind ruthlessly disregards

My Lord’s Grace. ```

25068

```

Let us immediately respond

To God’s Call,

For His Call is only to divinise our mind

And immortalise our heart. ```

25069

```

If we really love God

And if we really need God,

Then we must never hide

Behind the mask

Of our human weaknesses.

```

25070

```

A new life is crying in me.

A new life is crying for me.

A new life is pushing me forward

Towards God’s Lotus-Feet. ```

25071

```

If anything stops

My heart’s aspiration-flames,

Then how can I expect

God’s celestial Smile? ```

25072

```

My Lord, do give me the capacity

To drive my heart-car

On the fastest lane

Of my surrender-life-highway. ```

25073

```

Newness is not enough.

Inside newness we must feel holiness.

Holiness is not enough.

Inside holiness we must see and feel

God’s Compassion-flooded Fulness.

```

25074

```

Not even for a fleeting second

We must remain inside our mind-desert

If we want to grow faith-seeds.

Faith-seeds grow

Only inside our heart-garden.

```

25075

```

I have covered a very long distance

From my mind-thorns

To my heart-blossoms.

```

25076

```

Desire-life is the emptiness

Of nothingness —

Nothing more and nothing less.

```

25077

```

My heart-yearning

Is flying towards Heaven.

How and why?

Because my God-Hour has struck! ```

25078

```

My aspiration-heart

Is always homesick

To be with God

And to place itself

At the Feet of God.

```

25079

```

My Lord, where are You?

“My child, I am at three different places

At the same time.

I am inside your silence-mind.

I am inside your silence-heart.

I am inside your silence-life.” ```

25080

```

My Lord tells me

That as long as I have

A doubting mind,

He will not be able to free me

From my mind’s darkest bondage-night.

```

25081

```

I feed my Lord’s big Eye

With the tears

Of my small heart.

```

25082

```

My Lord feeds my small heart

With the Smiles

Of His big Eye.

```

25083

```

I do not know

How I can ever show my face

To my Master

If I deliberately absent myself

From his grace.

```

25084

```

It is, indeed, utter stupidity

When we think that God

Has turned a deaf ear

To the helplessness of our

Prayer-cries.

```

25085

```

Every day God shows us the way

To be an exact prototype of Himself,

But we pay no heed to Him.

```

25086

```

Alas, for centuries

I have forced my Lord Supreme

To remain fast asleep

Inside my darkness-mind-room. ```

25087

```

My Lord Supreme,

Excellence I do not long for.

Existence in You only

I long for. ```

25088

```

My Lord, You have performed

A supreme miracle for me:

To house Yourself inside my puny heart,

You have transformed Your Vastness

Into the smallest atoms.

```

25089

```

My Lord, give me the capacity

To claim You devotedly

The way You claim me

Proudly. ```

25090

```

My Beloved Supreme tells me

That I shall never be able

To exhaust His Patience,

But He can and He shall

Exhaust my ignorance.

```

25091

```

O my doubting mind,

Be wise, be wise!

Just allow once and for all

My aspiring heart to step in. ```

25092

```

If we indulge

In our insecurity and jealousy,

Our inner life will always remain

Impoverished. ```

25093

```

Every evening my soul invites

My body, vital, mind and heart

To dine.

Only my heart devotedly accepts

The invitation.

```

25094

```

As there is no right time

For God-Forgiveness,

Even so, there is no right time

For God-Compassion.

They are always readily available.

```

25095

```

A good life means

An aspiring and dedicated life.

It does not mean a life of indulgence

In any way. ```

25096

```

There is no such thing

As an ordinary day.

Any day can be successfully transformed

Into an aspiration-day. ```

25097

```

Solitude can either be

An escape from reality

Or a genuine God-longing cry.

```

25098

```

God tells me that

It is never too late

To love Him,

Need Him, fulfil Him

And please Him.

```

25099

```

Earthly heart-breaking sorrows

Lead us more quickly to God

Than do earthly shallow joys.

```

25100

```

The smiles of our heart

And the dances of our life

Are the real Heaven-currencies.
