Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 259

25801

```

The closeness

Of my Lord Beloved Supreme

Is the only dream-reality

That quenches

My heart’s aspiration-thirst.

```

25802

```

If we want to be perfect

In our spiritual life,

Then we must bravely march

Inside our heart-territory. ```

25803

```

God’s infinite Compassion

Every day flows towards us

Through His Forgiveness-Heart-River.

```

25804

```

I wanted to offer

My undivine thoughts to God

Every hour,

But my Lord wants me to offer Him

My undivine thoughts

At every second. ```

25805

```

When I feel my need

Is God’s Need,

I dance with absurdity.

But when I feel God’s Need

Is my need,

I enjoy the full blossoming

Of Divinity’s Reality.

```

25806

```

The road of the intellect

At times can be very gloomy, dark

And even dangerous.

```

25807

```

Each undivine, uninspiring thought

Is, indeed, a curse

To my spiritual life.

```

25808

```

Our heart’s genuine aspiration-cries

Keep us away from

Our mind’s confusion-prison.

```

25809

```

Is there anybody

Who does not want to enjoy

The sweetest flavour

Of blooming hopes? ```

25810

```

Our jungle-mind-decisions

Lead us to immediate

Frustration-doom.

```

25811

```

Smile, smile at your failure,

If you want to continue

And be perfect

In God’s Cosmic Game. ```

25812

```

Once you enter into the spiritual life,

Do not waver, do not hesitate.

Do not allow yourself to be diverted

From your God-realisation-journey. ```

25813

```

If we want to succeed and proceed

In our spiritual life,

We must bravely confront

All the pains of our life. ```

25814

```

Shine, shine,

O my inner heart-sun!

Shine, shine —

At every moment shine! ```

25815

```

God readily, eagerly

And proudly

Blesses my heart’s gratitude-tears.

```

25816

```

What is disobedience,

If not the ignorance-pride

Of my mind?

```

25817

```

Obedience means something

Infinitely more

Than I ever thought.

```

25818

```

God does not ask me to observe

The sorrows of the world,

But He asks me to become one

With all the sorrows of the world. ```

25819

```

My Lord Supreme,

Never cease to command me

At Your sweet Will.

```

25820

```

I must treasure my constant need

Of God-obedience

And ignorance-repentance.

```

25821

```

Because of my constant disobedience,

My aspiration-life

Has gone away from me.

```

25822

```

I must always escape

From the mind that parades itself

And the vital that exhibits itself.

```

25823

```

When I enter into my mind-jungle,

I immediately find

That I am infinitely less important

Than I thought. ```

25824

```

When I stand in front of

My Lord Supreme,

I find myself to be

Infinitely more important

Than I ever thought.

```

25825

```

May every day come to me

With a fresh supply of faith

And surrender-breath.

```

25826

```

Experience-dreams

Are, indeed, good.

Realisation-reality

Is infinitely better. ```

25827

```

Each new God-surrender-breath

Of my heart

Tastes sweeter than the previous one.

```

25828

```

My gratitude-heart-days always come

With equal inspiration, aspiration,

Dedication and bliss.

```

25829

```

When I do anything good or divine

For my Lord Supreme,

My blessingful reward

Is always certain. ```

25830

```

When I am in my mind,

I experience life as an illusion.

When I am in my heart,

I realise life as a divine reality. ```

25831

```

My obedience-heart

Not only sweetens

But enlightens

Every moment of my life. ```

25832

```

At long last

I am seeing my heart’s

Peace-freedom-oneness-horizon.

```

25833

```

When I am in my mind,

I am involved in a useless

Transformation-battle.

```

25834

```

With the loss of sincerity,

My heart is now empty

Of beauty.

```

25835

```

A heart of sincerity and eagerness

Is of paramount importance

For God-manifestation here on earth.

```

25836

```

My Lord, do come into my heart

Every day

With the beauty and fragrance

Of a new dream. ```

25837

```

Lovingly and proudly

I equally value

All my mind’s exits

And all my heart’s entrances. ```

25838

```

My Lord, if You do not give me

Yet another chance

To love You and serve You,

I shall surely end my life! ```

25839

```

Every blooming mind

And every blossoming heart

Is, indeed,

A tremendous God-satisfaction. ```

25840

```

O my aspiration-flames,

How lovingly you bring to me

My aspiration-heart, my illumination-sun

And my realisation-God-divinity. ```

25841

```

I displease God

More than I can ever imagine

When I allow myself

To withdraw unnoticed. ```

25842

```

May my aspiration-heart

Be as beautiful as the dawn,

As powerful as the sun

And as vast as the sky. ```

25843

```

O my disobedience-mind,

Do you know how ruthlessly

You are torturing me at every moment?

```

25844

```

The friendship

That is founded upon self-giving

Even death cannot sever.

```

25845

```

The contest

Between the unaspiring mind

And the aspiring heart

Can never be equal,

For God always takes the side

Of the aspiring heart. ```

25846

```

When I deliberately do not listen

To my soul,

I feel that I am helplessly stranded

In the vastness-territory of the unknown. ```

25847

```

What is my poor Lord doing?

He is waiting and waiting

For my prompt arrival.

```

25848

```

If you are afraid

Of your disagreeable God-duties,

Then God Himself will make you exit

From His Heart-Home. ```

25849

```

Alas, every day

How much time we waste

Being prompted by idle

And useless curiosity! ```

25850

```

If you allow your mind

To be skeptical,

Then your aspiration-heart

Will be empty of delight. ```

25851

```

Each undivine thought

Secretly wants to demolish

Your heart’s God-love-building.

```

25852

```

I have decided

That I shall never mingle

With my mind’s bitterness.

I shall always mingle

With my heart’s sweetness.

```

25853

```

What do you want?

Decide here and now:

God-forgetfulness-pleasure

Or

God-remembrance-delight-treasure.

```

25854

```

When I surrender my life

To my soul,

I am allowed to study

The God-satisfaction-book

In my Lord’s Heaven-Library.

```

25855

```

You can easily reach

The summit-height of the saints

If you pay special attention

To your mind’s sincerity

And your heart’s purity.

```

25856

```

When I am in my mind’s poorhouse,

I see doubt-donations

Pouring in fast, very fast.

```

25857

```

If you can truly surrender,

Then God will be able to fulfil

In and through you

A great many of His inspiring

And illumining Dreams.

```

25858

```

Be careful!

One day you will have to introduce yourself

To your illumining soul.

```

25859

```

If you are true to your own heart,

Then there will be nobody on earth

Unreal to your life.

```

25860

```

Like God,

I must give everything away.

Like God,

I must not believe in conserving anything. ```

25861

```

My Lord Supreme has no time

To watch my mind’s

Proud success-march.

```

25862

```

My Lord Supreme has all the time

In the world

To listen to my heart’s

Progress-song. ```

25863

```

Every day God tells me

To do one thing for Him:

He asks me to bring to Him

My mind-worries and empty them. ```

25864

```

My enthusiasm-mind

And my dynamism-vital

Can easily bring me

Extremely close

To my Lord Supreme.

```

25865

```

Alas, will I ever have

A bouquet of spiritual achievements

To offer to my Lord Supreme?

```

25866

```

If we can love God

For God’s sake,

Then God will return

Our long-vanished aspiration-moments. ```

25867

```

The beauty of peace

Is being buried every day,

And every day

It has to be resurrected. ```

25868

```

Wake up, look around

And see the blossoming

Of a totally new world.

```

25869

```

My Lord,

May my aspiration-heart

Be made of

Your Compassion-Eye-Songs. ```

25870

```

Every heart,

Either secretly or openly,

Offers gratitude-beauty-fragrance

To its Lord Supreme. ```

25871

```

Each time I think of offering

My unconditional surrender to God,

I move forward

One step nearer to God. ```

25872

```

Your God-realisation may now seem

A remote possibility,

But one day it will seem inevitable.

```

25873

```

Do not blame God!

Your half-hearted attempt

At God-realisation

Is fully responsible

For your failure-life.

```

25874

```

God Himself

Wants to be enslaved

By our heart’s snow-white prayers.

```

25875

```

Challenge

All your insurmountable obstacles.

You are bound to succeed!

```

25876

```

The mind is a bundle

Of self-contradictions.

It never arrives

At the satisfaction-goal. ```

25877

```

It is better to take

Desire-prompted action

Than to become a victim

To total inactivity. ```

25878

```

Long before the heavy weight

Of futile frustration captures us,

We must have

An ever-climbing flame of aspiration-heart. ```

25879

```

Try to receive from God

The prize unparalleled:

His Infinity’s Smile.

```

25880

```

No matter what problems

You encounter on the path,

If once you have been

A supremely great seeker,

And now you want to leave the path,

You are committing a blunder

Of Himalayan proportions.

```

25881

```

We make a deplorable mistake

When we try to run the inner race

Unaided.

```

25882

```

We all know

How to starve our soul,

But do we know how to starve

Our God-doubting mind? ```

25883

```

Spiritually advanced seekers

Suffer most severely

From their unfulfilled

God-manifestation-promises. ```

25884

```

Every day God shows us how to walk

With His new Will

And how to collaborate

With His new Vision. ```

25885

```

Even when I am doomed

To disappointment,

I am ready to go with God

Wherever He goes,

Even to the lower than the lowest hell.

```

25886

```

If you do not have the time

To thank God

For all the good things

That He has done for you,

God will not mind.

It is your soul

That will severely reprimand you.

```

25887

```

My mind-jungle

Has fully surrendered

To my heart-garden.

To me,

It is not a small miracle —

It is the miracle of miracles! ```

25888

```

Like my Lord Supreme,

I do not believe in

The breadth, depth and height

Of impossibility. ```

25889

```

If you want to increase

Your God-manifestation-capacity,

Then do it slowly, steadily

And unerringly. ```

25890

```

Wisdom of the ancients:

Give up everything

For the sake of God.

Wisdom of the moderns:

Since God has everything

At His disposal,

Let me have a few minor things

From Him. ```

25891

```

If you can entertain

Even one good thought

In your mind,

Then definitely you and your mind

Will become God’s favourites.

```

25892

```

Right from our childhood,

Our parents should help us learn

That our mind can be trained

Only by God’s Compassion-Eye. ```

25893

```

To want to know what is destined

Out of curiosity

Is nothing short of utter stupidity.

But to want to know what is destined

In order to work for

The radical transformation

Of an individual or the whole world

Is quite advisable. ```

25894

```

We are doomed to disappointment

When we see someone

Has equalled us,

But in God’s case,

He gets Infinity’s Joy

And Immortality’s Delight

When we just make an attempt

To equal Him. ```

25895

```

Is our gratitude-heart ready

To welcome

God’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart? ```

25896

```

Our insecurity-heart and impurity-mind

Somehow become friends,

And together they run away

From God’s all-illumining Compassion-Eye. ```

25897

```

Self-doubt

Is the very beginning

Of self-destruction.

```

25898

```

My Lord, Your Compassion-Eye

Is the only reality-blossom-treasure

In my spiritual life.

```

25899

```

The fulfilment

Of God’s Compassion-Eye

Is my heart’s

Only dream. ```

25900

```

When my mind is simple,

When my heart is sincere,

When my life is pure,

God comes down

And teaches my mind, heart and life

The song of Eternity and Infinity. ```
