Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 30

2901

```

God has granted you

His uncharted Vision-Will

Because your life has become

Your heart’s oneness-thrill. ```

2902

```

The surrender-heart

Of a sleepless God-lover

Finally becomes

The most precious sweetness

Of God’s Compassion-Dewdrops.

```

2903

```

My life was born

With God’s Beauty.

My heart will live

With God’s Immortality. ```

2904

```

Vital joy without purity

Is a sign of inner poverty.

Purity without self-giving

Is an impossible reality. ```

2905

```

Can fear ever save me?

Yes, it can!

Fear can save me

Only if I am soulfully afraid

Of my Beloved Supreme

When I am about to do something

To dissatisfy Him.

```

2906

```

The inner world is open

To the heart-voyager.

The inner world is closed

To the truth-doubter. ```

2907

```

O my heart,

Do not think

That God does not care for you

Just because my soul

Is swifter than you.

My Lord does care for you

With His blessingful Appreciation.

```

2908

```

Every morning he practises

His life’s surrender-act,

And every evening he practises

His life’s gratitude-act. ```

2909

```

God felt miserable

When He saw

The funeral-flames

Of my aspiration-deceased

Temple-heart.

```

2910

```

His parents

Should have informed God,

The unparalleled Doctor,

About the incurable disease

He was born with:

Ignorance. ```

2911

```

Heaven will not allow you

To come in

Unless you buy

A round-trip ticket

From earth.

```

2912

```

Heaven wanted him

To end his life-journey

So Heaven could get from him

Most authentic news about earth. ```

2913

```

You will be given

A free ticket to Heaven

If your heart is strong enough

And your life is pure enough

To knock on the world’s

Aspiration-door. ```

2914

```

Before you check into God’s Hotel,

Be sure that you have

Carried with you

Your heart’s unconditional

Surrender-passport,

And that you have totally discarded

Your hesitation-mind.

```

2915

```

One pure second

Of your heart-life

Can embody the power

Of ten God-manifesting

Roaring hours.

```

2916

```

Each moment shall become

A fruitless eternity

If the calculating mind

Does not surrender

To the endless silence

Of the heart. ```

2917

```

Little lives are not false;

They are weak.

They, too, can be turned into

Radiant images of the soul. ```

2918

```

Even if you fail

In your inner examination,

Do not allow your mind

To become a surge of revolt,

For you will be given

Another chance. ```

2919

```

My mind,

Will you keep a secret?

My Lord has decided

To sing the song of illumination

Inside you.

```

2920

```

He who wants to treasure

Only the future

Is sailing the boat

That will definitely sink

On the way.

```

2921

```

Someday meditation

Will not only give you joy

But also increase

God’s Satisfaction-Power in you. ```

2922

```

Mental scholars are afraid

Of approaching the truth,

Unlike truth-seekers

And God-lovers. ```

2923

```

You do not have to remain a candle flame

All your life,

For God will definitely grant you

One day

One of His Wisdom-Suns.

```

2924

```

Who can expect a dramatic change

In his life?

Either he who has surrendered

To his own ignorance-night,

Or he who has surrendered

To God’s Vision-Light. ```

2925

```

Unless you renounce your pride

In knowing the world

And in not knowing the world,

You can be neither safe nor perfect. ```

2926

```

The common problem is:

Man wants the uncommon solution.

The uncommon solution is:

Man satisfies himself

By getting the things

That he does not have. ```

2927

```

Doubt comes to tell you

Not only how far away you are

From God

But also how close you are

To your death.

```

2928

```

Even his earth-bound time

Flows to God’s

Infinite Shores.

```

2929

```

Your faith is dying!

Be prepared to face

Untold inner pangs.

```

2930

```

Two most precious lifelong experiences

Are engraved on my heart:

I am not indispensable

And

My Lord Supreme is unconditional.

```

2931

```

You will be totally lost

In your life’s quagmire

If you do not try

A new approach —

I mean an unconditional

Surrender-approach

To God’s Will.

```

2932

```

I have seen many

Indifferent minds,

But not even one

Indifferent heart.

I have felt many

Insecure hearts,

But never

An insecure soul. ```

2933

```

If you love to dream,

You will have endless light.

If you love endless light,

You will become God’s Power-Hand. ```

2934

```

Every morning

You must keep a new prayer

In your aspiring heart’s

Dedication-pocket. ```

2935

```

From God’s Hospital

I have received the latest report:

My doubtful mind is on the road

To its complete recovery. ```

2936

```

My aspiration-heart has consumed

The fear-spreading vocabulary

Of my doubting mind.

```

2937

```

Mine is the faith-dictionary

That has never been challenged

By doubt’s limited vocabulary.

```

2938

```

There is no difference between

A God-appointed Ambassador

And a God-personified Lover.

```

2939

```

My prayer-life

Wanted to bind God

Unconsciously.

My meditation-life

Rectified it

Miraculously. ```

2940

```

Your life’s tape recorder

Is only to record

God’s Victory-Messages,

And not

Your life’s past failures.

```

2941

```

Since your frustration-vital

Does not want to commit suicide,

Ask your illumination-soul

To be strict with the wild life

Of your vital.

```

2942

```

O my faith,

I shall count on your full support

When I go to my new Employer,

God,

To ask for a job.

```

2943

```

How can you allow

Your mind’s ugly doubts

To sneer at earth’s

Blazing aspiration-flames? ```

2944

```

In the battlefield of life

The human mind

May pass the examination,

But it will never be able

To surpass the heart.

```

2945

```

Every accident

Can be prevented

Either by

God’s powerful Smile

Or by

Man’s soulful cry. ```

2946

```

The fine for disobedience

Is so exorbitant

That finally his mind

Has had to resort

To an obedience-life.

```

2947

```

Even a brick wall

Has more receptivity

Than a desire-bound

Ingratitude-heart. ```

2948

```

God’s Compassion-Net catches all,

Only to liberate them

In His Infinity’s Satisfaction-Delight.

```

2949

```

A proud man wants to lead the world,

But he fails.

A humble man wants to follow the world,

But when he is about to follow the world

God appears

And starts leading him. ```

2950

```

If you see

With the eye of your soul,

You will never be able

To tell the world

That God is His Negligence-Eye.

```

2951

```

What your life now is,

Is a visible sincerity.

What God is going to give your life

Before long

Is an invincible purity.

```

2952

```

When my conscience advises me

And I listen to it,

My life becomes the cornerstone

Of my Lord’s inner creation. ```

2953

```

In my inner world of aspiration

And in my outer world of dedication

One thing reigns supreme,

And that is the Silence-Ecstasy

Of my Beloved Supreme.

```

2954

```

The face of Heaven

Is more beautiful than powerful.

The heart of man

Is more fearful than cheerful. ```

2955

```

His mind is clothed in silence.

Therefore

Today his heart is able to sing

Divinity’s hymn

For the heart of humanity.

```

2956

```

Two are the companions

Of my sleepless soul:

Man the preparation

And

God the Satisfaction.

```

2957

```

If you do not want

God’s Compassion

To open your mind’s

Closed shutters,

Then God’s Justice,

With no hesitation,

Will do the needful.

```

2958

```

Prayerful

Are the eyes of a dreamer.

Beautiful

Is the heart of a lover.

Fruitful

Is the life of a server. ```

2959

```

What has obliterated

His hope-life?

Not his doubtful mind,

Not his insecure heart,

But the unwillingness

Of his ego-born life. ```

2960

```

I have discovered

A new road to peace:

“My mind does not know anything.”

```

2961

```

My Lord Supreme,

You can neglect anything

In my life

Except my poor and fragile heart. ```

2962

```

Three deadly weapons:

An ingratitude-heart,

An all-knowing mind,

An ego-granted realisation. ```

2963

```

If you are devoted

To your own self-glory,

How will you ever dare

To demolish your life’s inner barriers? ```

2964

```

He dreams God’s Dream

Every day

In his purity-sanctified heart.

```

2965

```

There is only one

Secret and sacred chain

That links man and God,

And that chain is

Man’s cheerfulness-heart.

```

2966

```

Do you want to hear

The heartbeat of oneness?

Then start climbing the hills

That separate your mind

From your heart.

```

2967

```

There can be a safe

And sunny world for you,

But have you played your role?

Have you put your body, vital,

Mind, heart and soul

In perfect order? ```

2968

```

God fills my heart

With His own Heart’s

Silence-Smiles

Every day. ```

2969

```

Can receptivity be learnt?

Yes!

Your soul’s luminosity

And your life’s spontaneity

Can teach your heart

How to be receptive. ```

2970

```

If you are ready

To walk bravely

Along life’s despair-road,

God will grant you

His Beauty’s Vision-Crown.

```

2971

```

Can a snow-white purity-mind exist

Like a snow-white purity-heart?

Yes, it can!

Ask your soul.

It will help you unconditionally

To get a snow-white purity-mind. ```

2972

```

Your mechanical mind

Will always be afraid

Of heading Heavenward

For abiding peace. ```

2973

```

God loves me; I need Him.

May this experience-story

Remain deathless,

Even when my mind

Is doubtful and obstinate.

```

2974

```

You grope in the darkness

Of your mind

Because you have not prepared

A garden-shrine

Inside your heart.

```

2975

```

If you want to dine

In God’s Satisfaction-Restaurant,

Never enjoy vacation —

Not to speak of temptation —

In the inner world!

```

2976

```

It is not that every day

Doubt does not invade his mind.

But the moment

Doubt invades his mind,

He destroys it!

```

2977

```

If your inner house

Is not supported

By hope-pillars,

How will your outer life succeed

And how will your inner life proceed?

```

2978

```

If you do not include

God’s Compassion

In your daily life,

You will, without fail,

Meet with the red danger sign.

```

2979

```

If your mind is afraid

Of climbing higher,

Then how will your life

Travel into Infinity? ```

2980

```

Now that he is all love

For his aspiration-game,

His desire-game

Has totally left him. ```

2981

```

On the threshold of a new year

May our minds have

A new determination-dictionary

And may our hearts have

A new dedication-dictionary.

```

2982

```

If you are not inspired

To improve your spiritual vocabulary,

Your life’s dreams

Will never be transformed

Into reality.

```

2983

```

My heart’s

Two secret and sacred longings:

I shall please God

In God’s own Way.

I shall no longer carry

My past failure-life. ```

2984

```

My body, vital and mind

Are now unanimous

In their decision:

They will study at the heart-school,

And the only teacher

Will be the soul. ```

2985

```

What is my spiritual wealth?

My love of God.

What is God’s spiritual Wealth?

My heart’s oneness-smile. ```

2986

```

Unless you point-blank deny

The animal in you,

The human in you

Will not love you

And the divine in you

Will not utilise you. ```

2987

```

A seeker and a quitter

Have absolutely nothing in common.

They follow their own ways

Right from the beginning to the end. ```

2988

```

God wants each and every human being

To hoist His Victory-Banner.

But who is ready?

Not you!

Who is ready?

Not he!

Who is ready?

Not I!

God is helplessly looking

For the hero-instrument

Who will hoist His Victory-Banner.

```

2989

```

Transformation is a slow process.

But once it is achieved,

It is treasured by both

Humanity’s heart-cry

And divinity’s soul-smile.

```

2990

```

Unless you correct yourself,

Your imperfect life

Not only will torture you

But also will lower the standard

Of the world.

```

2991

```

A God-lover

Does not know how to hide.

He does not know

How to expose himself, either.

He only knows

How to reveal His Beloved Supreme. ```

2992

```

With love

I see the world.

With devotion

I feel the world.

With surrender

I become the world. ```

2993

```

The mind talks and talks

So that it does not have to listen.

The heart remains silent

So that it can all the time listen. ```

2994

```

One day

Spirituality will become

Not only comprehensible

But also acceptable

And adorable.

```

2995

```

Do not allow doubt-storm

To destroy your heart’s

Beautiful light and delight-camp.

```

2996

```

Do not play with untamed thoughts

From the mind-jungle.

They are extremely dangerous!

```

2997

```

Alas,

When God telephoned me,

I was playing hide-and-seek

With my doubting mind

And my insecure heart.

Therefore

I could not answer the call.

```

2998

```

You can make your mind

Claim God

The way your heart

Has claimed God.

First beg your mind.

If you do not succeed,

Then force your mind!

```

2999

```

In my life

There is nothing to say

And there is nothing to understand.

There is only one thing,

And that is

Constant self-revelation. ```

3000

```

I give credit to my gratitude-heart

For everything I know.

I give credit to my surrender-life

For everything I have become. ```
