Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 258

25701

```

My unconditional surrender-life to God

Is exactly what God has been waiting for

For centuries.

```

25702

```

When we are ready to please God

In God’s own Way,

He blesses us with a panorama

Of opportunities. ```

25703

```

God tells me that

Those who sincerely aspire

Are His Divinity’s treasured angels.

```

25704

```

It seems that a lifetime of longing

Is absolutely necessary

To liberate us

From our bottomless anxieties. ```

25705

```

Meditation

Is the only painkiller

For all our mind-ailments.

```

25706

```

God-reliance only

Has the capacity

To clip the flying wings

Of doubt. ```

25707

```

When we stop praying and meditating

Altogether,

Self-indulgence-abyss invites us,

And we immediately accept its invitation. ```

25708

```

The mind’s obstinacy

Shuts the heart-door

Deliberately and ruthlessly.

```

25709

```

Oh, where is the God-Reality-Heart-Boat,

Where is it?

I am all eagerness to be a passenger.

```

25710

```

What we desperately need

Is a God-realisation-promise

And a lifetime surrender-heart.

```

25711

```

O self-infatuated mind,

God’s Perfection-Touch

And God’s Satisfaction-Smile

Will never be yours! ```

25712

```

What is self-doubt,

If not a lengthening chain

Of suffering?

```

25713

```

It is the blows of life

That will be embraced

By God’s Compassion first.

```

25714

```

A cheerful surrender

Is the sunlit path

To the Source.

```

25715

```

God cannot close His Eyes

To the fact

That humanity on the whole

Does not care for Him

And does not feel it needs Him.

```

25716

```

All the divine blessings

Can easily be found

Inside a gratitude-heart-garden.

```

25717

```

You can efface destiny’s stamp

On your forehead

If your life-breath becomes

God-reliance. ```

25718

```

To me,

God is His beautiful Eye,

God is His peaceful Heart,

God is His blessingful Feet. ```

25719

```

If we really want to be happy,

Then we must purify the mind

Of its surprisingly

And astonishingly limited

Understanding-power.

```

25720

```

When I have a deep meditation,

God Himself invites me

To be in the company

Of Heavenly stars. ```

25721

```

May my life

Be totally immersed

In God’s Forgiveness-Fountain.

```

25722

```

The gratitude of the heart

Is itself the breath-gratitude

Of life.

```

25723

```

Because the mind is insincere

By nature,

Obscurity can come

And powerfully shake hands

With the mind.

```

25724

```

I need two things

To gladden my heart:

The beauty of tolerance

And the fragrance of patience. ```

25725

```

When all else fails, just repeat:

“My Lord, I am all Yours;

You are all mine.”

Lo, you are completely saved

And utterly satisfied.

```

25726

```

My Lord, why is our inner journey

So arduous?

“My child, so that you will value

The supreme necessity of your destination:

The Golden Shore.”

```

25727

```

I tell my Lord

That I am a shattered heart.

My Lord tells me,

“My child, then I am

My blessingful Smile for you.”

```

25728

```

My Lord,

You know I am not doing at all well.

Forgive me.

“My child, I know, I know.

Just do not give up.

Everything will be all right again

At My choice Hour.”

```

25729

```

My Lord of Compassion

Every day visits me

To cure my outer blindness

And inner illness. ```

25730

```

Unless you dare to say

A categorical “No!”

To your world-frustrations,

Your life is bound to be

Farther than the farthest

From satisfaction. ```

25731

```

O seeker, be careful!

At any moment fear and doubt

Can turn your heart-waves

Topsy-turvy. ```

25732

```

Nothing can be more accurate

And perfect

Than this realisation:

Today’s God-seeker

Is tomorrow’s God-discoverer.

```

25733

```

Alas, for the mind

The Hour God chooses

Comes and goes by.

```

25734

```

A sincere seeker does not allow

God’s Compassion

To remain anonymous all the time.

```

25735

```

The divinity of my soul

Is my life’s temple

And my heart’s shrine.

```

25736

```

It is, indeed, an extremely difficult task

To cheerfully and proudly climb up

The tower of gratitude.

```

25737

```

When the mind speaks endlessly,

It sees nothing,

It feels nothing,

It remains nothing —

As usual.

```

25738

```

Insanity of the mind

Is the worst possible calamity

In the aspiration-life.

```

25739

```

When you are proud,

You can never contain the world.

You can only foolishly

Disdain the world. ```

25740

```

Love and devotion

Must cheerfully walk,

March and run

Along the beauty-flooded

Surrender-road.

```

25741

```

The doubting mind

Undoubtedly needs a cane,

While the aspiring heart

Desperately needs a plane. ```

25742

```

O intellectual mind,

Let us see how long you can remain

Without being dull

And without being gloomy. ```

25743

```

The body’s austerity

Is nothing short of stupidity.

The heart’s intensity

Is all divinity. ```

25744

```

O my heart’s cheerful journey,

To me you are in no way inferior

To my blessingful Goal.

```

25745

```

God laughs hysterically

When I say that I am

Good for nothing.

```

25746

```

Do we ever realise

That because of our mind,

We have become virtually

Desire-victims? ```

25747

```

My expectation is my foolishness.

My foolishness does not allow me

To see the life-tree

Or its God-satisfaction-fruits. ```

25748

```

Illusion has found its home

Inside my mind.

Depression has found its home

Inside my vital.

And I have found my home, only home,

Inside my God-gratitude-heart. ```

25749

```

Even a faint-hearted seeker

Deserves my sincere appreciation

And admiration.

```

25750

```

Smile, smile as powerfully as possible

To relieve yourself

Of your mental tension.

```

25751

```

No human being

Is forever doomed

To swim in the sea

Of ignorance-night. ```

25752

```

May my heart’s aspiration-train

And my soul’s realisation-plane

Forever remain unstoppable.

```

25753

```

How I wish my doubting mind

To be pronounced guilty

And sentenced!

```

25754

```

The beauty of God’s Compassion-Eye

Is now inexplicable,

But one day it will become

Quite transparent. ```

25755

```

If you develop harmony with all,

Then yours will be a heart

Totally free from sorrow.

```

25756

```

Everything you must transcend

If you want to become a God-fulfiller

And not just a well-wisher of God.

```

25757

```

God’s Compassion has always been

The source of my aspiration-heart

And dedication-life.

```

25758

```

My Lord of Compassion,

I have finally decided

I shall not hide from You

And I shall not run away from You

Any more.

```

25759

```

Never say good-bye

To the God-dreamers

Of peace, light and bliss.

```

25760

```

As earthly tears

Are irreplaceable,

Even so, Heavenly smiles

Are irresistible. ```

25761

```

Do not allow your mind

To crucify your sincerity-heart

And simplicity-life.

```

25762

```

Do not give up your spiritual life.

If you do,

Eventually you will become

Heart-rending, flaming tears. ```

25763

```

God is God-Infinity’s Compassion-Sea.

And what am I?

I am just a few tiny God-drops.

```

25764

```

Not my curiosity-mind

But my receptivity-heart

Is the shortest distance

To reach the height

Of the ever-transcending Beyond.

```

25765

```

You will be able to travel

In the company of stars

If your mind becomes kindness,

Your heart becomes affection

And your life becomes oneness.

```

25766

```

Abandon those thoughts immediately

That do not have the courage

To defend God.

Defending God is the only way

To arrive

At your luminosity-flooded Shore. ```

25767

```

My Lord,

Every day You come to me

As a Forgiveness-Fountain.

May I not become

A gratitude-mountain?

```

25768

```

What I need

Is an outer rainbow-smile

Of inner delight.

```

25769

```

My Lord Supreme,

I do not believe in

Humanity’s proud opinion

Of Your Universal Life. ```

25770

```

Inside our aspiration-heart

There is always the beauty

And fragrance

Of the Unknowable. ```

25771

```

Alas, will my mind ever become

A flower-garden of purity-life

And aspiration-breath?

```

25772

```

God’s biggest frustration

Is my mind’s unwillingness

And my heart’s unreadiness.

```

25773

```

My Lord of Compassion

Loudly appreciates

The prayer-breath

Of my heart-boat. ```

25774

```

O my tricky mind,

What you deserve is a thunder-kick

From my aspiration-heart

And dedication-life. ```

25775

```

My Lord Supreme,

I know if I do not obey You

Cheerfully and self-givingly,

Then my life will eventually become

A sorrow-flooded sea.

```

25776

```

O twinkling gratitude-moments

Of my heart,

How beautiful, how illumining

And how fulfilling you are! ```

25777

```

The human life is a market

Of desire-absurdities.

The divine life is a garden

Of supreme necessities. ```

25778

```

May my heart one day rise

To majestic authority

Over my audacity-mind.

```

25779

```

God wants each and every heart-train

To be completely full

Before it starts

Its God-Destination-journey. ```

25780

```

Not only does the heart know

But also it is heading towards

Immortality’s blue-gold Shore.

```

25781

```

You want to know what I am doing.

I am just singing and playing

And playing and singing

In my soul’s universal nest. ```

25782

```

Each dancing drop

Of God’s Delight

Is quenching my Eternity’s

God-thirst. ```

25783

```

God, You are my heart-beauty’s

Divinity

And my soul-divinity’s

Immortality. ```

25784

```

A happy, happier, happiest heart

Is needed

To awaken and mould man’s smile.

```

25785

```

Every morning when I pray,

I keep my heart humming

The soulful beauty-melodies

Of light, peace and bliss. ```

25786

```

My self-indulgence

And

My ingratitude-life

Somehow

Always want to live together.

```

25787

```

A rainbow-smile from his heart

Has coloured the face

Of the entire universe.

```

25788

```

God’s Compassion-Eye descends

To satisfy the hopes

Of countless human beings

In a twinkling. ```

25789

```

Your unwilling admiration of God

Is the product

Of your unendingly unillumined mind.

```

25790

```

O seeker, do not worry!

Your aspiration-heart-cries

Will eventually untie

The anxiety-worry-knots of your mind. ```

25791

```

My morning aspiration-eye

Brightens my inner life

And lightens my outer life.

```

25792

```

My mind prefers complexity,

My heart prefers simplicity

And I prefer unity.

```

25793

```

God will be hospitable

To your tears

If you are hospitable

To humanity’s smiles. ```

25794

```

What I need is not

Human God-invention,

But divine God-discovery.

```

25795

```

I have decided that

I shall no longer remain

My mind-puppet-slave.

```

25796

```

When the divine in us

Fails to come to the fore,

The human in us

Starts disintegrating. ```

25797

```

Do not compromise,

If you really want to cherish

The bloom and blossom

Of your freedom-life. ```

25798

```

May my heart, my vital

And my body become

A constantly self-giving fountain.

```

25799

```

How beautiful and soul-stirring

Are the aspiration-eyes

That glisten with sleepless tears.

```

25800

```

The task of a perfect God-lover

Is to tell the whole world what God,

Out of His infinite Bounty,

Does for each human being,

And not what God is or where God is.
