Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 38

3701

```

I have told God

My only secret and sacred truth:

“My Lord, I love You only.”

```

3702

```

The stars in the sky

Are desperately trying to hide

From the stars in his heart.

```

3703

```

In honour of God’s Birthday

I am definitely going to multiply

My heart-love

By my life-devotion. ```

3704

```

The random use

Of the reasoning mind

Has turned his life

Into a deplorable failure. ```

3705

```

God does not think of you:

Indeed, this idea

Is your mind’s

Visible absurdity. ```

3706

```

Prayer

Is for the salvation

Of truth-seekers.

Meditation

Is for the liberation

Of God-lovers.

```

3707

```

Do not allow

Your mind’s fear

To persecute

Your heart’s poise. ```

3708

```

His aspiration-heart

Is at last happy,

Because the ego-elephant

Of his vital

Is very severely wounded.

```

3709

```

Your helpless pretension

Will soon turn your life

Into a hopeless perdition.

```

3710

```

Because your mind

Is laughing too loudly,

Your heart

Is crying too pitifully. ```

3711

```

To have faith in others

Is to multiply

One’s own inner strength.

```

3712

```

An unconditional surrender-head

Wears the crown

Of God-Delight.

```

3713

```

The heart of purity

Is powerful.

The face of sincerity

Is beautiful. ```

3714

```

You do not have to appreciate

God’s Heart.

Just imitate

God’s Eye. ```

3715

```

A truth-seeker

Does not misunderstand.

A God-lover

Does not misrepresent. ```

3716

```

You love

Your powerful insecurity-heart.

God loves

His blessingful Compassion-Eye. ```

3717

```

God does want to be caught

While walking

Inside your heart-garden.

```

3718

```

Alas,

His soul’s determination

Is challenged

By his mind’s hesitation. ```

3719

```

The best protection

Against self-doubt

Is man’s conscious cry

For perfection-hunger. ```

3720

```

I can become

Another God.

This is the only Message-Light

That God gives me

Every day.

```

3721

```

Long before true happiness

Could approach you,

Your impure self-indulgence

Has killed you. ```

3722

```

Do you not know

What your insecurity is?

It is your old and incurable

Heartache. ```

3723

```

When death calls him,

His soul helps him

Remain unavailable.

```

3724

```

Be a champion

In self-discovery

Instead of man-flattery.

```

3725

```

He becomes his meditation-heart.

This is his special way

Of thanking God.

```

3726

```

Because you love

God’s Compassion-Eye,

God also loves

Your gratitude-heart. ```

3727

```

Willingly He descended

To save the world.

Wilfully His Compassion-Eye

Is challenged

By the mind of the world.

```

3728

```

Your desire-life is not fulfilled.

Therefore

You are not on speaking terms

With God.

But God really wants you

To speak to Him.

Therefore

He is unconditionally blessing you

With an aspiration-heart.

```

3729

```

How do I occupy my time?

I teach my heart

How to write surrender-letters

With love-pen

To my Beloved Supreme.

```

3730

```

Nothingness

Alarms my mind.

Nothingness

Awakens my life.

Nothingness

Prepares my heart. ```

3731

```

When I say I have nothing,

It gladdens humanity’s

Division-unreality.

When I say I am nothing,

It pains divinity’s

Oneness-reality.

```

3732

```

Leave your inner life

And outer life

Only at God’s Heart-Door

And nowhere else. ```

3733

```

A spiritual seeker

Does not have to travel

On many roads.

He only has to run

On one road:

The road of surrender. ```

3734

```

God’s bountiful Smile

Always runs infinitely faster

Than man’s fearful cry.

Therefore man is able to remain

Standing on the safety-shore.

```

3735

```

Soon to be announced:

My vital has cheerfully

And unconditionally surrendered

To God’s all-loving Heart

And all-illumining Eye.

```

3736

```

Satisfaction-pension

Will always be there

For those who have offered

Their aspiration-services

Soulfully and unreservedly

To God,

Their beloved Employer.

```

3737

```

My mind wants to investigate

Even God’s Heart-Room.

My heart wants only to adore

God’s Forgiveness-Feet. ```

3738

```

More and more you resemble God.

Do you know why?

Because

You expect nothing from yourself

For yourself,

But

You expect everything from yourself

For God. ```

3739

```

His heart is happy

Because his mind does not contain

Superficial thoughts

And artificial ideas. ```

3740

```

Every day I launch

My hope-ship.

I am sure one day I shall reach

My heart’s satisfaction-shore. ```

3741

```

God is not a fool like you.

He always takes notes

On what you say to Him

In silence-secrecy. ```

3742

```

I call it

My meditation,

But my Lord calls it

The flowering of His Compassion-Eye. ```

3743

```

My loving heart

Has a message for me:

God is always for me.

My serving life

Has a message for me:

I am always for God.

```

3744

```

My life is now

Dead to weakness

And born to God’s

Confidence-Delight. ```

3745

```

God is now setting

Not only new

But also high standards

For those who want to love Him

And serve Him

In His own Way. ```

3746

```

I am ready

To be the last seeker

To reach God,

Provided God Himself

Does not mind.

```

3747

```

Do not lose your aspiration-heart!

If you lose your aspiration-heart,

Your frustration-mind

Will become larger than the largest. ```

3748

```

If you hurl jealousy-arrows

At the world,

The world may eventually forgive you.

But your universal oneness-soul

Will never forgive you.

```

3749

```

You simply cannot imagine

How beautiful you will look

If you just once

Remove your ego-mask. ```

3750

```

Your smart mind knows nothing,

Yet it does not want to learn

Anything more.

Your expert heart knows everything,

Yet it wants to learn every day

Something more.

```

3751

```

O earth,

Do give me one more chance.

I shall definitely be able

To prove to you

That I can be a compassion-sky.

O Heaven,

Do give me one more chance.

I shall unmistakably

Prove to you

That I can become a perfection-sun.

```

3752

```

His life stands between

His mind’s fantasy-stories

And his heart’s ecstasy-songs.

```

3753

```

My inspiration-bird wants to sing

Only at one place:

Inside my dreaming heart-garden.

```

3754

```

Please wait a minute!

My Lord Supreme has just arrived

To teach me how to love you,

How to illumine you

And how to please you.

```

3755

```

Every day

Before he prays,

God teaches him

A new purity-song.

Every day

After he is done

With his prayer,

God teaches him

A new divinity-dance.

```

3756

```

Negativity-chain

Is pulling your mind.

Do you know why?

Because

Positivity-train

Your heart has missed. ```

3757

```

Do not keep anything

Between your life’s new dawn

And your soul’s ancient promise.

```

3758

```

Do only the thing

That makes God happy

And at the same time

Keeps you busy. ```

3759

```

Why do you suffer?

God has given you ample opportunity

And enough capacity

To climb over the mountain of sorrows. ```

3760

```

While dancing the dance

Of oneness-life,

The smile of sacrifice

Is nothing but an illusion. ```

3761

```

God has already coloured

Your aspiration-heart

With soulfulness.

Can you not colour

Your inspiration-mind

With newness? ```

3762

```

Every night

Lethargy-thief comes

To steal away your life-energy

Completely,

And it is successful

To a degree.

Can you not be wakeful and watchful,

And catch the lethargy-thief

Red-handed?

```

3763

```

I have forgiven all your crimes

Except one,

And that crime is your incessant

World-criticism-cry. ```

3764

```

God loves and treasures

The crying heart of every soul

More than He loves and treasures

Anything else

Either on earth or in Heaven.

```

3765

```

I wish to get an invitation

From your soul’s dream-boat,

And not an express command

From your demanding vital. ```

3766

```

You came to me

To learn a little about meditation.

I am all ready to teach you.

Alas, why are you then playing

Your life’s self-deception-game

Instead of your life’s illumination-game? ```

3767

```

Aspiration,

Liberation

And satisfaction

Are not at a remote place.

They are just around

The heart-corner. ```

3768

```

When doubt came

To shake hands with his mind,

To its wide surprise

It saw that faith

Had already embraced his heart.

```

3769

```

Man is unhappy

When he sees that what he has inside

Is all nothingness.

God is happy

For He knows that He is nothing

But Nothingness itself.

```

3770

```

Do not enter

Into your mind’s stupidity-market

To buy futility-goods.

```

3771

```

You do not have to broadcast

The beauty and purity of your heart.

Your face can and will

Do it for you. ```

3772

```

To choose a division-mind

Over a union-heart

Is to choose immediate death

Over a beautiful life. ```

3773

```

My heart’s hunger-cry

And my Lord’s Feast-Smile

Are soon going to meet.

This meeting is ordained

By Heaven’s flower-beauty.

```

3774

```

If you really want

To make your desire-story short,

Then start singing immediately

A long aspiration-song. ```

3775

```

Earth’s ignorance-sea

Every day devours

Its own lifeguards:

Beauty and purity. ```

3776

```

Today both Heaven and earth

Are celebrating your greatest victory.

How is it

That you are not aware of it?

Can you not see

The total disappearance

Of your emperor-ego?

```

3777

```

Why do you dig in your mind-desert?

There is nothing

And there can be nothing

Beautiful and fruitful there.

It is a useless task.

```

3778

```

God’s Compassion-Fund

Is always ready

To accept your teeming doubts

And darkening worries.

But will you ever be ready

To give God

What you so deplorably have?

```

3779

```

You have been thinking

Of others,

But you never think

Of their satisfaction-lives.

How then can you expect them

To give you

Their smiling oneness-hearts?

```

3780

```

When the beggar in me says

That he has nothing,

I suspect him.

When the emperor in me says

That he is nothing,

I know that he is telling

The absolute truth.

```

3781

```

A self-giving heart-soldier

Is gladly recruited

By God’s Satisfaction-Heart

For God’s Army. ```

3782

```

My heart of tears

Safely steers my life-boat

To my soul’s illumination-shore.

```

3783

```

If your carelessness

Has the capacity to kill you,

Then God’s unconditional Fondness

For you

Feels the necessity to revive you.

```

3784

```

My mind

Has a lot to unlearn.

My heart

Has a lot to learn.

My soul

Has a lot to contribute. ```

3785

```

To look

Into your Master’s eye

Is to enter

Into your own unexplored universe. ```

3786

```

Your life of rumour

Is responsible for the tumour

In your aspiration-heart.

```

3787

```

A climbing prayer-heart

And a drowning seeker-life

Never meet together.

```

3788

```

If He is a real God,

Then He will definitely

Leave His Calling Card

Everywhere. ```

3789

```

God may delay

In examining your mind’s

Success-reports,

But He will never delay

In examining your heart’s

Progress-reports. ```

3790

```

Think of each minute

As either the choice minute

Or the last minute

To realise God. ```

3791

```

My perfection-life

And my satisfaction-heart

Are the two glorious Dreams

Of the Supreme. ```

3792

```

Dear God,

Do give me the time

To prepare myself

So that I do not fail You

When You invite me

To dine with You

In Heaven.

```

3793

```

Within I worship

My insecurity.

Without I worship

My sincerity. ```

3794

```

My heart

Does not have to stay alone.

Do you know why?

Because it cheerfully follows

God’s Timetable.

```

3795

```

If you can take

Large doses of faith,

You will soon see

Beautiful satisfaction-roses

Inside your heart-garden.

```

3796

```

Before God-realisation,

Each human being

May be attacked mercilessly

By ferocious human tigers. ```

3797

```

God does not understand

Why any human being ever suffers

From the strong winds

Of insecurity-hurricane. ```

3798

```

The mind’s dark

Doubt-adventure

Never ends.

The heart’s pure

Faith-pilgrimage

Never ends.

```

3799

```

Because of his

Divinity-flooded life,

For him to nurse

A mind-grievance

Is an unthinkable crime.

```

3800

```

At the end of each earthly pilgrimage

The obedient God-lovers,

The obedient truth-fighters

And the obedient peace-distributors

Will be garlanded and crowned

By the Absolute Supreme Himself

In His own transcendental Palace

Of Love and Satisfaction. ```
