Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 267

26601

```

When the Master Lord Supreme

Plays on His cosmic Harp,

His transcendental Life-Heart

Simply explodes with Delight. ```

26602

```

Every morning God comes down

And blesses

The sacred altar of my self-offering

With His divine Pride. ```

26603

```

Only the beauty and love

Of a childlike heart

Can transform the nature of the world.

```

26604

```

There are many people on earth

Who love to live

With their delusion-fantasies.

```

26605

```

The soul is every day,

Every hour and every minute

Asking the body, vital, mind and heart

To enter into the soul

And become as enriched as the soul is.

```

26606

```

Even the worst possible beggar

Can have a loftier than the loftiest aim

For the transformation of mankind.

```

26607

```

If you do not have inner strength,

Then God will not welcome you

To be on His Path.

```

26608

```

Among the spiritual qualities,

Humility’s role can never be

Adequately described.

It can only be felt. ```

26609

```

Fear, doubt, jealousy

And insecurity

Have such power to ruin

Our God-blessed happiness. ```

26610

```

It is useless to ask the doubting mind

And the strangling vital

To stop fighting.

Let us deal only with the heart —

The heart that aspires

And

The heart that wants to love God.

```

26611

```

The soul touches the Feet

Of the Lord Supreme

Every morning and evening.

It is the heart, vital, mind and body

That have no time even to look at Him.

```

26612

```

No matter how many ways

We try to escape from the reality-world,

We shall never be able to.

Therefore, it is advisable

To be in the reality-world

And become true citizens

Of the reality-world.

```

26613

```

The soul silently tells us

What to do.

The soul secretly tells us

What to do.

But alas, we do not pay any attention

To the silent and secret messages

Of our soul.

```

26614

```

The mind-train

May perpetually move forward,

But it has no destination.

```

26615

```

The soul-driver of my life

Is always careful and blessingful.

The heart-driver of my life

Is careful and prayerful.

The mind-driver of my life

Is never careful. ```

26616

```

A world-peace-dreamer,

A world-peace-lover

And

A world-peace-server

Is the most dedicated exponent

And highest expression

Of the Absolute Lord Supreme.

```

26617

```

Unless we transcend

Our earthly speech and earthly thought,

We shall not be able to arrive

At the Golden Shore

Of God-Perfection and God-Satisfaction.

```

26618

```

Either consciously or unconsciously

We are searching for the highest Self,

Which is at once eternal and infinite.

```

26619

```

The experience of God’s Compassion-Eye

And Forgiveness-Heart

Can never be compared

With any other experience. ```

26620

```

Definitely the Real in us

Is always eager to come to the fore,

But we do not allow, we do not allow!

```

26621

```

To bring about the harmony

Of all humanity,

We must not allow ourselves

To feed the quenchless thirst

Of ego.

```

26622

```

To love the Supreme’s Way

Of doing things

Is to become the Supreme’s Way

Of Divinity and Immortality. ```

26623

```

Unless and until

Oneness with the Supreme

Is achieved,

Nothing is beautiful,

Nothing is encouraging,

Nothing is illumining,

Nothing is fulfilling.

```

26624

```

My Lord’s blessingful Eye

Is my ecstasy’s height,

Ecstasy’s depth

And ecstasy’s length. ```

26625

```

Along with spiritual food,

Earthly food also is necessary

To make the journey of the spirit

Towards the Absolute Height. ```

26626

```

I am advancing my simplicity-mind,

Purity-heart and self-giving life

Each day.

```

26627

```

Alas, I do not know

How I can get out of the disorder

Of the mind,

Which I have cherished

For a great many years.

```

26628

```

My awareness of my spiritual life

Is doomed

Because I deliberately shook hands

With the pride of ignorance-night. ```

26629

```

Oneness is complete

Only when compassion

Is infinite.

```

26630

```

Our Lord Absolute

Is always ready

To rescue us from danger,

If we just let Him. ```

26631

```

How can I have peace in my world

Amid the turmoil of the outer world?

My Lord says to me:

“Just feel that there is only one world,

And that is My world,

My Divinity’s all-illumining world.” ```

26632

```

You are looking for the centre

Of the universe.

I am saying to you that the true centre

Of the universe

Is inside the little room

Of your God-worshipping heart. ```

26633

```

May my morning lotus-prayers

Awaken my sleeping mind

To join me.

```

26634

```

My faith in God

Is my heart’s beauty

And my soul’s fragrance.

```

26635

```

If you want to love and serve someone,

Then love and serve that person

With your newness-mind,

With your oneness-heart

And

With your fulness-hands. ```

26636

```

To tear our mind’s worries

Into shreds,

We need very special Blessings,

Very special Love

And

Very special Compassion

From our Lord Supreme.

```

26637

```

Gratitude, only gratitude,

Is what we need

To have a receptivity-heart.

```

26638

```

May my mind also cherish,

The way my heart cherishes,

My God-dedication-life.

```

26639

```

Our sweet, sweeter, sweetest

Gratitude-tear-drops

Expedite our Godward journey

Far beyond our imagination. ```

26640

```

Our determination-power

Will eventually bring in

Our life’s transformation-satisfaction.

```

26641

```

God-dreamers live inside the heart.

God-lovers live inside the heart.

But God-examiners live inside the mind.

```

26642

```

The eagerness of the heart

And willingness of the mind

Have discovered the shortest road

To arrive at God’s Feet. ```

26643

```

My morning God-obedience-songs

And

My evening God-obedience-songs

Are the only realities in my life

That I can truly be proud of.

```

26644

```

To hoist our faith-banner,

We must every day

Increase our love for God.

```

26645

```

My Lord, why are You crying?

“My child, I am crying

Because you are not smiling.”

```

26646

```

There are different types of tears,

But the tears that we shed

To develop our unconditional love

For God

Are the only tears that I really need.

```

26647

```

To make the fastest progress,

Every day I pray to God

To give me the sweetness-innocence

Of a child-heart. ```

26648

```

Do not mock any God-lover

Or God-server,

For everybody at one time

Has to play the role of a beginner. ```

26649

```

Be extremely careful.

If you criticise others,

Yours will be the spiritual doom

Sooner than the soonest. ```

26650

```

My mind,

Believe me when I tell you

That the time is fast approaching

For you to surrender to God’s Will. ```

26651

```

Your temporary failure

Is not the end.

It is the beginning

Of a new illumining hope

And the beginning

Of a new fulfilling progress. ```

26652

```

When I give something

And I remain unrecognised,

Then only my self-giving

Is true and perfect. ```

26653

```

I do not know how many more heartaches

I must suffer

Because my desires are not fulfilled

In my own way. ```

26654

```

God never appreciates

My cleverness-mind.

He appreciates and admires

Only my sacredness-heart. ```

26655

```

O my mind,

Every day you are making

Feeble attempts at obedience.

How can you then ever succeed? ```

26656

```

Next time I get a chance

To speak to God,

I shall ask Him, without fail,

To tell me the secret

Of unconditional surrender.

```

26657

```

God loves me most

When I cheerfully agree

To play with

His ill-fated children. ```

26658

```

For me there is no day,

No night!

I follow my Lord’s express Will.

```

26659

```

My Lord, if You wish to use me,

I shall be grateful.

If You do not wish to use me,

I shall be equally grateful.

Only to please You in Your own Way

I saw the light of day. ```

26660

```

It is God who creates opportunities for us

In boundless measure.

And what else?

He also appreciates us for using them. ```

26661

```

When I try to fool someone

In the spiritual life,

I do not realise that I am dealing with

The Real in him — God. ```

26662

```

When I give my Lord Supreme

A small quantity of my love and faith,

He blessingfully and proudly tells me:

“My child, I have come.

Receive from Me My All.”

```

26663

```

I am happy when I see

First my Lord’s Eye and then His Feet.

But I am infinitely happier when I see

His Feet first and then His Eye.

God’s Eye is my Protection.

God’s Feet are my Salvation. ```

26664

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do tell me where I am supposed to live

Every day.

“My child,

I want you to live every day

Inside your heart-garden of self-giving.” ```

26665

```

Each time I disobey God,

Either consciously or unconsciously,

I am forced to take a giant step

Away from God. ```

26666

```

Every day I face

My heart-faith-challenges,

And every day I succeed.

```

26667

```

Every day increase your love for God.

Then you will see

That the darkness of your mind

Will, without fail,

Be completely dissolved.

```

26668

```

What is my heart?

My heart is a dream of God

That every day is increasing

Its beauty, its lustre and its divinity. ```

26669

```

My Lord,

I need my heart-freedom first

For the establishment

Of my mind-illumination. ```

26670

```

What I need is a mind of patience.

What I need is a heart of poise.

What I need is a life of surrender,

Constant God-surrender. ```

26671

```

Secretly the angels guide us,

And proudly they tell God

That we are quite receptive

To God’s Will. ```

26672

```

You have to compel your mind

To take a long vacation

So that you and your heart

Can work together

For the manifestation of God’s Will

On earth. ```

26673

```

In the mind-jungle we notice

That gratitude is out of season

All the time.

```

26674

```

All your secrets are safe

When you keep them

In your aspiration-heart

And dedication-life. ```

26675

```

When I offer an aspiration-rose

To my Lord Supreme,

He blesses me with a bouquet

Of His Compassion-Blossoms. ```

26676

```

The climbing earth-cries

Breathe the Heavenly fragrance

Of Delight.

```

26677

```

When we live

In the unsearching mind,

We live in the age

Of total uncertainty. ```

26678

```

My mind does not believe in

World-information any more.

It wants only world-illumination,

And for that it is going to study

At God’s God-Surrender-School.

```

26679

```

What is it

That touches my heart?

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye-Delight.

```

26680

```

Faith and doubt

Course through me.

I am so happy

Faith always wins. ```

26681

```

My mind’s complexities

Are totally destroying

My simplicity-sincerity-heart.

```

26682

```

My body lives inside

The purity of my heart-smiles.

My life lives inside

The divinity of my soul-smiles. ```

26683

```

After a long time,

My long-lost inspiration-mind

And aspiration-heart

Have come back to me. ```

26684

```

I tremendously fear

Only one thing:

My God-unwillingness-mind.

```

26685

```

O seeker, do not forget

That you entered into the spiritual life

For inner accomplishments

And not for outer fulfilments. ```

26686

```

When our mind is flooded

With inner silence,

Then our mind will have

Free access to God

The way our heart of aspiration

Already has. ```

26687

```

At the last moment of our life,

If we pray to God for His Will to be done,

Then we are fooling ourselves.

We must pray for His Fulfilment

Throughout our life.

```

26688

```

Every day God is blessing us

With God-manifestation-possibilities

Of the most startling nature.

```

26689

```

At every moment we need

Tremendous self-confidence,

Founded upon God’s Compassion-Light,

To fulfil God

And thus fulfil ourselves.

```

26690

```

If our journey’s goal is success,

Then we will be totally fooled.

If our journey’s goal is progress,

Then God will be proud of us

And we shall be proud of ourselves.

```

26691

```

In the spiritual life,

Nothing is of minor importance.

Everything

Is of supreme importance. ```

26692

```

Sometimes when we take

Our spiritual life

With utmost seriousness

And give no relaxation to the mind,

We are not able to enjoy the Playfulness

Of the Absolute Supreme. ```

26693

```

At every moment

We need the heart-nurturing

And life-giving springs

Of devotion. ```

26694

```

We must destroy the prison-house

Of our name and fame

To be inside Divinity’s

Immortality-Palace. ```

26695

```

The mind’s screen

Has ever-flickering images —

Nothing permanent,

Nothing useful,

Nothing fruitful!

```

26696

```

This morning when I went to see God,

His Compassion-Heart gave me

A broad Smile of Acceptance.

```

26697

```

Every day

I keep my appointment with God

Early in the morning.

I give myself no way to miss

My regular duty.

```

26698

```

My mind is roaring with determination.

My heart is flying with aspiration.

Therefore, I know my Goal

Is just next door. ```

26699

```

My soul wants me to enjoy

The brilliance and radiance-ecstasy

Of my God-seeker-victory

Over ignorance. ```

26700

```

When we really love God

With our every breath,

Then God gives us

His Dream-fulfilled, sumptuous

Reality-Feast.
