Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 261

26001

```

Love, devotion and surrender,

Where are you all?

Come in please, come in.

My heart-door I have kept wide open. ```

26002

```

For a self-giving heart,

God is always

Cheerfully and proudly available.

```

26003

```

My path to God will unfold

If my eyes have a smile

Like a child

And if my heart has a cry

Like a child.

```

26004

```

Let it be known from this very moment:

I shall not keep my mind

As either my life’s inner mentor

Or my life’s outer guide. ```

26005

```

God loves both the good ones

And the bad ones.

But He definitely expects something special

From the good ones. ```

26006

```

You must try to conquer insecurity

At every moment in your life.

Lo and behold, insecurity itself

Will lose all its interest in you. ```

26007

```

Humour is the truth that tells us

That we can walk along the road ahead

Without fear.

```

26008

```

All my divine qualities meet

Not inside my body,

Not inside my vital,

Not inside my mind,

Not even inside my heart,

But inside my life-breath. ```

26009

```

Only the day

I obey God unreservedly

Will I become

Self-satisfaction itself. ```

26010

```

What I intend to say

Is that all are equal,

But what I tend to do

Is exercise my supremacy. ```

26011

```

Do not enjoy the beauty and splendour

Of the past

On the strength of your imagination.

Enjoy everything today

Living inside the heart of reality’s dream.

```

26012

```

Cleverness is so shallow

That it will never be able to touch

Even the feet of wisdom-light.

```

26013

```

Who has true concern?

No, not the man-instructor in me,

But the God-lover in me.

```

26014

```

Emotion expressed for God

With no expectation

Is, indeed, devotion.

```

26015

```

There is a constant battle going on

Between my numberless imperfections

And my Lord’s endless Compassion-Eye.

I am sure my Lord will definitely win. ```

26016

```

My Lord,

Frustration was my friend yesterday.

Frustration is my friend today.

My Lord,

Do give me a new friend,

A totally new friend — faith —

And let me see what it really looks like.

```

26017

```

God never wants us to be

All over,

But He wants us to be

All-rounded. ```

26018

```

If you do not unburden

All your secrets to God,

How do you expect God

To share His Secrets with you? ```

26019

```

My soul is not partial to my heart.

It is the other members of my family —

Body, vital and mind —

Who do not want to have anything

To do with my soul.

```

26020

```

My Lord, just bless me

With a little appreciation

So that I can immediately become

Nectar-drunk. ```

26021

```

When a seeker has tumbled

On his way,

Do not go alone to rescue him,

But take with you

God’s real Oneness-Heart.

```

26022

```

I shall allow neither my mind

Nor even my heart

To direct my life-course.

I shall beg my soul every day

To direct my life-course.

```

26023

```

It is you who have to increase

Your progress-speed

By virtue of your heart’s

God-loving tears. ```

26024

```

Either today or tomorrow

We must obey

Our God-representative-soul.

```

26025

```

Do not wait any longer.

The God-Hour has already struck.

Wake up!

Run towards your destined Goal. ```

26026

```

O my mind,

How do you dare to betray

My sleeplessly God-loving friend,

The soul? ```

26027

```

The destruction-blows

Of the doubting mind

Can be challenged

By the illumination-flute

Of God-crying hearts.

```

26028

```

Not your mind-book

But your heart-gospel

Every day you must read

If you want to please God. ```

26029

```

If you have a plethora of enthusiasm

Throughout,

Then eventually you are bound to win

In your spiritual life. ```

26030

```

A Compassion-flooded Touch

From God’s Eye

Is man’s life-transforming magic.

```

26031

```

O my heart, delay not!

Exercise at every moment

Your God-given rights.

```

26032

```

There is only one list,

And that list

Is my God-manifestation-list.

```

26033

```

Excitement

Is in the vital.

Enlightenment

Is in the heart. ```

26034

```

God’s heart-instruments are

Readiness,

Willingness

And eagerness. ```

26035

```

Simplicity, sincerity and purity-roads

Always lighten

Our mental-vital loads.

```

26036

```

When our inner life is empty,

We see in our outer life

Nothing but all-disturbing, nagging doubts.

```

26037

```

Our discrimination-sword

Can easily challenge and destroy

The mind’s negativity-thoughts.

```

26038

```

My Lord,

I love everything that I have

In my ignorance-life

Infinitely more than I love

Your Compassion-Eye.

Why?

Why? ```

26039

```

You call it God-discovery

And I call it self-conquest,

But they are the same.

```

26040

```

I had an appointment with Truth.

Truth told me

That it did not believe in compromise.

```

26041

```

O peace-dreamers of the world,

O peace-lovers of the world,

Do not hesitate.

Unite and unite and unite! ```

26042

```

God does come down every day.

Alas, we all try to understand Him

And not to feel Him.

Therefore, He goes back unfulfilled. ```

26043

```

Only one thing matters

In my life,

And that is God-Satisfaction.

```

26044

```

Only a silence-mind knows

Where God is, who God is

And what God is doing

For humanity and divinity. ```

26045

```

Only the day the mind believes

In the heart’s messages

Will the mind have happiness.

```

26046

```

In our life

Quite often successes

Follow our failures.

```

26047

```

My soul-bird is always flying.

My heart-bird at times flies

And at times does not.

My mind-bird never flies. ```

26048

```

No beauty can ever equal

Our heart’s

Surrender-beauty.

```

26049

```

When I smile,

I see God the Beauty in Nature.

When I cry,

I hear God the Song inside my heart. ```

26050

```

Be not afraid of clearing

Your mind-jungle.

God Himself will come to assist you

Happily and proudly. ```

26051

```

Human love

Either unconsciously or consciously

Loves confines.

Divine love

Knows no boundaries.

```

26052

```

Self-pity: what is it,

If not a self-imposed,

Heaviest burden?

```

26053

```

A God-obedience-examination

In itself

Is a beautiful illumination.

```

26054

```

The spiritual Masters

Do two things:

They conceal and reveal

To follow the Dictates

Of their Lord Supreme.

```

26055

```

The vision that has

No determination

Cannot be manifested

On earth. ```

26056

```

Your mind’s illusion you can transform

Into your heart’s reality

Only by having

An adamantine will-power. ```

26057

```

By nature,

Consciousness is Heaven-free

And not earth-bound.

```

26058

```

Tolerance

Is a secret and sacred way

To enrich our human life.

```

26059

```

We have to wake up

To God’s God-Hour

If we want to expedite

God’s God-Hour. ```

26060

```

My heart desperately tries to avoid

All wrong forces,

Whereas my mind welcomes them

Lovingly and happily. ```

26061

```

The fool in us always wants

To understand the Will of God —

A thing impossible!

```

26062

```

The absolute Truth

Remains undiscovered

In almost all human beings.

```

26063

```

The souls come around

To give divine purposes

To each human being.

```

26064

```

Be careful of your doubting mind!

It may take away every vestige

Of your divinity.

```

26065

```

Do not allow resentment to rise.

If you do so,

Your aspiration will fall down.

```

26066

```

If you cannot kill your ego

Altogether,

Make it at least ineffective.

```

26067

```

If you are exclusively devoted to God

And nobody else,

Then God will help you

In domesticating your animal vital. ```

26068

```

26069

```

If you can strengthen your faith-roots,

Then God will bless you

With a world-service-tree.

```

26070

```

Each human being

Is so impatient

For his pride-manifestation.

```

26071

```

Our mind is always satisfied

To live by partial truth

And does not crave full truth.

```

26072

```

The mind rejects ruthlessly

And totally

The innocence, simplicity and sincerity

Of the heart. ```

26073

```

Your self-esteem-fondness

Is nothing short of

Your undivine vanity.

```

26074

```

God tells His children:

“Take everything from Me

And squander as much as you want,

For as long as you want;

But do not have greed

For others’ possessions.” ```

26075

```

O my heart,

Do not resign yourself to your fate.

Try again and again.

God’s Compassion will be on your side

Someday.

```

26076

```

The fantasy-mind cannot arrive

At God’s Gate.

Only the ecstasy-heart can arrive there.

```

26077

```

Alas, he has gone again

To visit

His old desire-home-life.

```

26078

```

If you are following a path,

Then you must be aware

Of all the twists and turns

On the path. ```

26079

```

My Lord,

May my aspiration-train

Never halt anywhere.

```

26080

```

The tears that are shed

Are beautiful.

The tears that are unshed

Are beautiful and powerful. ```

26081

```

Anything that we see

That is inexplicable today

Will eventually become

Totally transparent. ```

26082

```

If you have an unaspiring mind,

Sooner or later you will be

In a state of constant inner turmoil.

```

26083

```

God uses His Compassion-Eye

Unconditionally.

Even then, when He fails,

He uses the sharp edge

Of His Justice-Sword.

```

26084

```

If you develop harmony with all,

Then your heart will be freed

From anxieties and worries.

```

26085

```

Where God is

And who God is:

These are the only things

Worth knowing. ```

26086

```

If you allow your thoughts

All the time

To rustle in your mind,

You can never have silence

As your friend.

```

26087

```

O my mind, I am so happy

That you can no longer run away

And that you can no longer hide.

```

26088

```

O my mind,

I shall never allow you to crucify

My heart’s sincerity and purity.

```

26089

```

O my mind,

Are you not ashamed

Of your constant narrowness

And selfishness-hunger? ```

26090

```

I am happy at last

Because I have completely relinquished

My ego-offences

And my ego-defences. ```

26091

```

Our pride is never appeased.

It always waits for another chance

To attack.

```

26092

```

God’s final Decision:

He will never end the world,

No matter how bad the world becomes.

```

26093

```

My Lord, You came to me

With Your Vastness-Compassion-Sea.

Alas, I do not come to You

Even with my tiniest gratitude-drop! ```

26094

```

My Lord tells me

That the Beauty of His Eye

And the Fragrance of His Heart

I can easily feel

Inside my aspiration-heart-flames.

```

26095

```

Self-offering is something

That we can never

Wear out.

```

26096

```

Music is the fragrance

Of the soul.

Music is the perfection

Of the aspiring heart. ```

26097

```

My Lord, I have begged You

For many things.

Now I am begging You

To come to me

With Your Forgiveness-Heart-Fountain.

```

26098

```

In our surrendered God-dedication-life,

Freedom is a reality

And not a mere dream.

```

26099

```

The things that give us happiness

We get

Only from our selflessness.

```

26100

```

When we cry to God

For His Compassion-flooded

Wisdom-Light,

He immediately comes and garlands us

And guides us.
