Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 257

25601

```

A genuine God-lover

Has to be a dynamo

Of endless energy.

```

25602

```

My aspiration-heart

Is now being adorned

By my soul’s rainbow-smiles.

```

25603

```

To walk hand in hand with God,

First you must kiss the dust

Of God’s Feet.

```

25604

```

I need

A God-searching mind

That never bargains.

```

25605

```

I need

A God-loving heart

That never complains.

```

25606

```

How to illumine darkness?

Offer your heart’s aspiration-cry

To your God-representative-soul.

```

25607

```

If you want to play

Your mind-supremacy-game

On the world’s stage,

You will never be able to remove

The veil of your ignorance-night.

```

25608

```

Alas, the golden days of the heart

Are so brief

That before we can overcome one obstacle,

They disappear. ```

25609

```

Vow and vow

To reach your soul

Happily and sleeplessly.

```

25610

```

If you live in your mind,

You will see not only the birth

But also the death of your decisions

Before you achieve

What you wanted to achieve.

```

25611

```

A gratitude-heart

Is the sun

Of a seeker’s life.

```

25612

```

My heart’s tears

Have given way

To my soul’s

Ever-illumining cheers. ```

25613

```

May I spend my life between

The beauty

Of my mind’s imagination

And the fragrance

Of my heart’s aspiration.

```

25614

```

Desire has blinded me.

Alas, who will give me a new eye,

Who?

```

25615

```

Confusion of the mind

Always comes

In profusion.

```

25616

```

Faith-mountain

And surrender-mountain

Each seeker has to climb up.

```

25617

```

Ancient dreams

And modern realities

Will never be able to establish

A loving and fulfilling oneness. ```

25618

```

May each second of my life

Become the beauty

Of a blossoming promise.

```

25619

```

Let us accomplish everything

On the strength of our faith,

Long before the birth of doubt.

```

25620

```

My Lord,

Do give me the capacity

To give You my all

At every moment. ```

25621

```

Hope-light grows

From promise-power.

Fulfilment-delight glows

In promise-power. ```

25622

```

May my inner sun,

In its inner effulgence,

Never, never set.

```

25623

```

God’s own Melody

Is irresistible,

Right from the beginning to the end.

```

25624

```

Patience is

A most extraordinary virtue

That we embody.

```

25625

```

Obedience is

By far

The fastest Heavenward competitor.

```

25626

```

The superlative outer ideal

Is power-autocracy.

The superlative inner ideal

Is peace-ecstasy. ```

25627

```

One thing that God

Does not joke about

Is my God-surrender-smile.

```

25628

```

O truth-seeker and God-lover,

I assure you

That the land of nothingness-futility

For you is non-existent. ```

25629

```

The symphony

Of life-giving hearts

Has infinite notes.

```

25630

```

A dry mind

And a barren heart

Can only produce

A lifeless tree. ```

25631

```

I have many, many possessions.

My Lord has only one possession:

The smile of my gratitude-heart.

```

25632

```

Truth-seekers

And God-lovers

Can never, never clash.

```

25633

```

If a student of peace

Has eagerness and enthusiasm,

Then easily he will be able to manifest

God’s Transcendental Light on earth. ```

25634

```

Self-discovery

Can only be founded on

Self-conquest.

```

25635

```

God delights only in one thing:

The inseparable oneness

Of His children.

```

25636

```

A heart-sprinter

Can easily far surpass

A mind-marcher.

```

25637

```

Never be insecure.

It mars your God-given

Inner effulgence.

```

25638

```

Truth-seekers of the world:

Where are you?

God-lovers of the world:

Where are you?

Why are you delaying so much

Your perfect union? ```

25639

```

My heart’s peace-dreams

Reveal

My life’s satisfaction-tree.

```

25640

```

God came down

With a very special Message.

Nobody cared to listen

To His Message.

No, absolutely no one!

```

25641

```

Finally I have chosen today

To let my ego-bird

Fly away.

```

25642

```

God will never shorten the distance

From my mind to His Kingdom.

On the contrary,

He will lengthen the distance,

For my mind is all the time

Enjoying disobedience. ```

25643

```

God does not give my desire

The satisfaction

Of touching His Feet.

```

25644

```

In vain my heart begs my mind

To hoist together

The aspiration-sails.

```

25645

```

I awake every morning

With my life-blossoming

Gratitude-heart.

```

25646

```

If enthusiasm is missing,

If eagerness is missing,

Then we shall always find ourselves

At the very, very bottom

Of our aspiration-ladder.

```

25647

```

God tells both Heaven and earth

To stop disputing over their supremacy.

He tells them that both of them

Must meet each other on equal terms. ```

25648

```

My heart, my life and my life-breath —

All I have placed beneath the dust

Of my Lord’s Will.

```

25649

```

Be careful, O seeker!

At any moment

You can be trampled underfoot

By your brooding doubts. ```

25650

```

I have abandoned myself

Not to God’s Smiles,

Not to God’s Tears,

But to God’s creation-feeding Breath. ```

25651

```

If you are wise,

Then at every moment

You are going to question

Not only your outer life,

But also your inner life,

For your own self-discovery. ```

25652

```

Every day

My soul teaches my heart

How to have

God-pleasing smiles. ```

25653

```

My soul every day reveals to me

The sweet notes

Of a new delight-song.

```

25654

```

If we do not nourish our life-tree

With compassion, concern

And oneness-smiles,

Then our service-life will never have

Beauty and fragrance.

```

25655

```

I am afraid

Of my mind’s narrowness.

I am afraid

Of my heart’s vastness. ```

25656

```

I try so hard every day

To be in the sweet Presence

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme

Inside His Heart-Garden. ```

25657

```

If you were

A truly God-dedicated man,

Then by this time

God would have made you

A God-liberated soul.

```

25658

```

What are you doing, my seeker-friend?

“I am building and building

An aspiration-heart-home for myself.”

```

25659

```

Aspiration-requirement

Always comes first

In our Godward journey.

```

25660

```

A doubt-dominated mind

I was.

A faith-blossomed heart

I am. ```

25661

```

Do not worry!

If not today, then tomorrow

Your vital will break

All its earthly bondages. ```

25662

```

There shall definitely come a time

When our mind’s attachment-nights

Will either be illumined or disappear.

```

25663

```

Do not be worried

But be extremely happy

That God is going to interview

Your heart today.

I am sure your heart

Will do extremely well. ```

25664

```

If you show your eagerness to God,

Then only will God make Promises

In and through you.

```

25665

```

Like God’s Compassion,

Our gratitude also

Should not need

A wake-up call. ```

25666

```

Between our heart’s tears

And our mind’s doubts,

There can be no real contest.

The heart is bound to win. ```

25667

```

What is present-day humanity?

Present-day humanity

Is nothing short of

The violence-nature of an animal. ```

25668

```

Our minds crave

Self-aggrandising opportunities.

Our hearts long for

Self-giving opportunities. ```

25669

```

Living a God-enamoured life

Is quite possible

For any sincere God-lover.

```

25670

```

It is high time for me

To wake up

And not to neglect any more

My heart-garden. ```

25671

```

May my heart become every day

A beautiful harvest

Of God-gratitude.

```

25672

```

You must chide your mind

If it dares to interrupt God

When God wants to speak

To your heart. ```

25673

```

O seeker, a speedy ascent

Is not only necessary

But of paramount importance.

```

25674

```

If your mind plays

Ping-pong meditation,

How will you ever have illumination

In your mind and vital? ```

25675

```

God never asks you

To hide your head in humiliation.

He always asks you

To bring to Him a humility-head

So that He can give you

His infinite Blessing-Light. ```

25676

```

Heaven’s rest-resort

Will definitely be there

For those who try their utmost

To manifest God here on earth. ```

25677

```

Insecurity is in secret collusion

With misery

To torture our life.

```

25678

```

All God wants

Is my sleeplessly

Self-giving heart.

```

25679

```

To reach our destination,

Every day we must smooth and pave

The inner road

With hopes and promises. ```

25680

```

O seeker,

The hour has already struck!

You must close as soon as possible

Your insecurity-mind-umbrella. ```

25681

```

Only a heart that is inspired

By genuine love

Is embraced by God Himself.

```

25682

```

If you have

Immense and intense enthusiasm,

Then you will succeed

In everything that you do for God. ```

25683

```

O my heart, if you do not go

With your God-obedience-companion

Wherever you go,

Then you will fail. ```

25684

```

O my vital, be careful.

Try to see the light

And listen to the truth.

Otherwise, you will suffer

Lifelong God-disobedience-damage.

```

25685

```

O my Lord Beloved Supreme,

Every day I need You

To clear my mind-jungle

And purify my vital-tornado. ```

25686

```

Indeed, everybody’s soul

Is a crusader

For world-peace.

```

25687

```

If you can surrender

Happily and cheerfully

Your life to God,

Then only can you have

A perfect grasp of spiritual matters.

```

25688

```

I am so happy

That I am starving

For God’s Forgiveness-Smile.

```

25689

```

It is quite common and natural

For the unaspiring mind

And the unruly vital

To have a very strong relationship. ```

25690

```

Challenge at every moment

The authority of your mind

If you want to succeed

In your spiritual life. ```

25691

```

A self-giving heart

Is definitely the epitome

Of angelic sweetness.

```

25692

```

Every morning my Lord Supreme

Asks me to ring my inspiration-bell

And strike my aspiration-gong.

```

25693

```

Unlike my mind,

My heart is always filled to the brim

With soulful truth.

```

25694

```

In no time,

God Himself comes

To bless our souls

When they knock at God’s Temple Gate. ```

25695

```

Quite often

When our stupid mind rejoices,

Our wise heart weeps.

```

25696

```

Row, row your aspiration-boat,

If you want to arrive

At your golden Destination.

```

25697

```

Let the world ridicule

Your aspiration-attempts.

God Himself appreciates and admires

All your aspiration-attempts

At God-realisation.

```

25698

```

All the riddles of our life

Can be solved

By singing a God-surrender-song.

```

25699

```

How beautiful a day can be

When we allow our compassion-heart

To touch it.

```

25700

```

We are always guided by an unseen Hand.

But that unseen Hand can be seen,

Can be touched, can be felt

And can be claimed

On the strength of our oneness

With God’s Will. ```
