Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 35

3401

```

Those who love

God alone

Will be needed

By God alone. ```

3402

```

You fool,

Why do you love impatience?

Do you not realise

That your life of impatience

Means a shorter time

To achieve something great? ```

3403

```

I feel sorry for you

Because every day you are bitten

By a mad desire-dog.

```

3404

```

Unless you become a perfect stranger

To self-indulgence,

Your soul’s effulgence-delight

You will never be able to claim. ```

3405

```

I cannot imagine how you can allow

So many teeming ego-thoughts

To enter into your life

Every day. ```

3406

```

Let God take care

Of your hesitation-mind

From now on.

```

3407

```

Ignorance does not

Surrender to anyone

On its own.

You have to forcefully

Conquer ignorance.

```

3408

```

God never keeps

His Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart

Empty. ```

3409

```

Today he is celebrating

The death

Of his mind’s deception-night.

```

3410

```

Only a fool like you

Can think that self-torture

Is another name

For self-improvement. ```

3411

```

Next to a oneness-heart,

A purity-mind

Is the best protection.

```

3412

```

You may not be thinking of God

For His Satisfaction-Heart,

But God is thinking of you

For your perfection-life. ```

3413

```

He who misses obedience-opportunity

Will never be given the chance

To sing God’s supreme Glory.

```

3414

```

God will never

Reserve a seat for you

In Heaven

Because

You have never

Reserved a seat for Him

Inside your heart

On earth. ```

3415

```

He lives between

The living image

Of his heart’s gratitude

And the living image

Of his life’s surrender.

```

3416

```

God will hear

The tale of your tears

Only if you agree

To surrender your life’s

Fascinating falsehood.

```

3417

```

God sings the ultimate Vision-Song

Only inside the heart

That has grown into

An unconditional surrender-light. ```

3418

```

The noise of the world

Is determined to give God

Two deaf Ears,

A doubting Mind

And a tearful Heart.

```

3419

```

God will not allow you

To exclude your mind

From your heart’s

Oneness-dream-boat. ```

3420

```

I am not irritated,

I am not exasperated,

But I am extremely humiliated

When I see that my mind

Does not aspire every day

For its perfection-life. ```

3421

```

Silence is the emergency exit

To escape the world’s

Ruthless torture.

```

3422

```

The strength of an elephant

Bows to my patience-heart.

The speed of a deer

Bows to my surrender-life. ```

3423

```

The Infinity-increasing Delight

Of the Transcendental Consciousness

Was founded upon

The Eternity-spreading Light

Of the Universal Consciousness.

```

3424

```

Two pieces

Of sad and unexpected news:

I have failed God,

And God will not give me

Another chance.

```

3425

```

Your mind, the impurity-outcast,

Must be illumined.

This is the only way

Your mind can become

A choice instrument of God.

```

3426

```

If you do not keep your heart

Under heavy protection-guard,

Your heart may be ruthlessly conquered

By your aggression-vital. ```

3427

```

Alas,

My life’s inner vacuum

Can only be felt

And never described. ```

3428

```

The heart’s attachment-thickness

Is always founded upon

The mind’s ego-sickness.

```

3429

```

It is a difficult

But not an impossible task

To successfully lose

The heart’s sadness-weight. ```

3430

```

Unless you take surrender-nutrition

Every day,

You cannot make fast progress

In your inner life. ```

3431

```

Every day I watch

God’s inner Television

Only to adore

His Compassion-Eye

And worship

His Forgiveness-Heart. ```

3432

```

God does feel sorry

When your heart

Is not on speaking terms

With Him. ```

3433

```

Your life’s hungry ignorance-dragon

Forecasts the message

Of your life’s destruction-night.

```

3434

```

You are always trying to score

An easy success-goal.

Therefore

The supreme Heights of the Beyond

Will always remain unknown to you.

```

3435

```

Your oneness-soul feels miserable

When your mind enjoys

Rumours and counter-rumours.

```

3436

```

What can I expect

From your shallow mind?

And what can I not expect

From your deep heart? ```

3437

```

His heart’s inspired utterance:

“God does love me dearly

In spite of my mind.”

```

3438

```

First feel

That truth is lovable.

Then only will you feel

That truth is invincible. ```

3439

```

My God-identification card

God wants me to show

To ignorance-night

In inconscience-world. ```

3440

```

Unless your heart is stirred

By God’s sleepless Breath,

How can God’s Peace

Be your life’s property? ```

3441

```

The heart’s voiceless message:

God-realisation is not

An excitement-race

But it is

An enlightenment-goal.

```

3442

```

The turbulent weather

Of your mind

Is keeping you unprepared

All the time

For God’s Compassion-Arrival.

```

3443

```

Before God-realisation

Nobody is exempt

And nobody will be exempt

From the punishment

Of ignorance-tax.

```

3444

```

Alas,

I never thought

That my mind-thief

Would run away

With my heart’s purity-funds.

```

3445

```

Your vital knows how to export

Excitement-fire.

Your heart knows how to import

Enlightenment-flames. ```

3446

```

His heart’s

Aspiration-fire brigade

Is no match

For his life’s desire-fires. ```

3447

```

Even if you are fast asleep

In your heart-heaven’s waiting room,

Your life is definitely

Going to make some progress. ```

3448

```

I admire your hero-determination!

You do not want to be caught

Any more

In your mind’s confusion-quandary. ```

3449

```

If your life

Soulfully lies prostrate

At God’ s Protection-Feet,

Your life’s perfection-dream

Will not remain a far cry.

```

3450

```

If you are a real God-lover,

Then you will not carry with you

Your yesterday’s frustration-life.

```

3451

```

When I enter into his heart,

I immediately enjoy watching

The delight-flow

Of his heart’s fulness-fountain. ```

3452

```

I admire your lion-hunger,

But how can I admire

Your mouse-capacity?

```

3453

```

Ecstasy-intoxication,

Unlike other intoxications,

Is always appreciated and admired

In all times and climes. ```

3454

```

Who says that it is

An impossible task

For you to extricate your life

From your hopeless futility-fate? ```

3455

```

Your mind has to do

Only whatever you allow it

To do,

And nothing more! ```

3456

```

My worst enemy on earth

Is my fear

Of God’s universal

And transcendental

Infinity.

```

3457

```

As you have a heart

Claimed by purity,

Even so, try to have a mind

Claimed by clarity. ```

3458

```

Sometimes you forget

To please God.

Therefore

You must not be surprised

If God forgets to think of you.

```

3459

```

Transformation is not destruction.

It is the fire-pure change

Of a human life

Into a divine breath. ```

3460

```

You are a champion

In progress-promise,

But not in progress-jump!

```

3461

```

You wanted to climb up

The desire-stairs,

But unfortunately the desire-stairs

Have brought you down

Into the abysmal abyss.

```

3462

```

His mind of desire

And his heart of aspiration

Every day play tug-of-war,

But the final results are not yet out. ```

3463

```

You must not be disheartened

By your imperfection-night.

You should only be brave

By having a sleepless perfection-cry. ```

3464

```

When you develop

A celestial and natural

Need for God,

God-realisation will not remain

A far cry.

```

3465

```

Frustration is man’s

Absolutely worst creation

In God’s beautiful world.

```

3466

```

Once you allow

Your desire-train to run

Speedily,

You will never be able

To stop it.

```

3467

```

You must realise

That even God’s Indifference

Can be His real Blessing

In disguise. ```

3468

```

From now on

My heart is going to treasure

Only one thing:

Celestial pleasure. ```

3469

```

God has not rejected you.

It is you who have rejected yourself

By rejecting your life.

```

3470

```

If you are in doubt,

Why do you not ask God

Immediately?

```

3471

```

Faith

Is the only instrument

That can easily discover

Truth. ```

3472

```

Your hunger for perfection

And God’s Satisfaction-Smile

Will definitely meet together

When God’s God-Hour arrives. ```

3473

```

His Silence-Eye

Cuts my ignorance-rope

Faster than my eyes

Can see. ```

3474

```

Why do you allow your stupid mind

To create insecurity

Between you and God’s Compassion?

```

3475

```

God devours

What your life has:

Sincerity.

God devours

What your heart is:

Purity.

```

3476

```

Human life is either

To conquer or surrender.

In between

There is nothing. ```

3477

```

The velocity of Love divine

My earth-life has to acquire.

The velocity of Compassion supreme

My Heaven-life has to acquire. ```

3478

```

He could not believe his eyes

When he saw this morning

On his body’s lethargy-head

A venomous mask

Left by his uninspired mind.

```

3479

```

My faith in God

Has taken up the challenge.

It will definitely transform

My confused mind’s confusion-room

Into God’s Illumination-Palace.

```

3480

```

Since you have thoroughly studied

The ignorance-history of man’s life,

Will you not start reading

The Compassion-History of God’s Love? ```

3481

```

Every day I am watching

A most soulful and powerful game.

It is a game that is played

By my heart’s consciousness-flames

And my Lord’s Consciousness-Sun.

```

3482

```

A poor seeker’s life

Goes up and down,

Topsy and turvy,

On the consciousness-trampoline. ```

3483

```

His days pass by

With futility’s

Helpless dreams

In the midst of God’s

Compassion-Rain.

```

3484

```

You are a real fool!

That is why you have purchased

A round-trip aspiration-ticket

Which will take you to Heaven

And return you to earth.

```

3485

```

When God rings your doorbell,

Go to answer the door

Immediately,

Carrying with you

Your mind’s hell.

```

3486

```

The impurity-mind

Of the outer world

And the insecurity-heart

Of the inner world

Are immediate neighbours.

```

3487

```

A life-division-hunger

Is nothing but a weakening

And crippling disease.

```

3488

```

What is an intellectual mind?

An intellectual mind

Is a mind that expedites

The arrival of futility. ```

3489

```

Look in your heart’s

Lost-and-found.

The unhorizoned Smile

Of God’s Vision-Eye

Is blossoming there.

```

3490

```

Who can demand

Your heart’s freedom-life

If you relinquish

Your aspiration-hunger? ```

3491

```

He has no particular eagerness

To live.

He has no particular eagerness

To die.

He has only one eagerness:

To see always

God’s Satisfaction.

```

3492

```

His life

And his life’s service-joy

Always remain inseparable.

```

3493

```

Every morning my Beloved Supreme

Teaches me a heart-melody

From His Compassion-Song.

```

3494

```

Why is your mind so critical?

Is it because your mind

Is empty of inner beauty

Or because your mind

Is full of outer ugliness?

```

3495

```

My Lord,

I have enough trouble

Of my own.

I really do not know

How I can solve others’ problems

While my own problems

Remain completely unsolved.

```

3496

```

This soulful world of ours

Desires constantly

Our prayerful efforts

To reveal our Inner Pilot. ```

3497

```

God has asked you

Not to worry.

He has not told you

To remain complacent. ```

3498

```

I always hear

A mountain-silence-song

Inside my soul’s heart-garden.

```

3499

```

Forgiveness and oneness

Are the two

Really satisfactory roads

That lead to peace-palace. ```

3500

```

I can be as beautiful

And as perfect as God.

This is a sweet God-secret

That God has revealed to me. ```
