Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 46

4501

```

God unconditionally loves

Each and every human being.

Indeed, this is a divine mystery

That no human mind can ever fathom. ```

4502

```

Death will not delay its arrival.

Therefore

Play your cosmic game

And complete it as soon as possible! ```

4503

```

My Lord is thinking of me more

Because my love for Him

Is now flawless.

```

4504

```

God has not chosen

Your doubtful mind

To serve Him.

He has chosen only

Your aspiring heart

To love Him,

Serve Him

And fulfil Him. ```

4505

```

How long

Will you allow your heart

To remain discouraged?

Can you not energise your heart

To run faster than the fastest?

```

4506

```

Do you seek none but God?

Then definitely

God loves you most.

```

4507

```

God is sad

When He hears that you feel

There are divine things

In His creation

Which you cannot attain.

```

4508

```

First you need the strength

To be faithful in your heart.

Then you need the strength

To be perfect in your life. ```

4509

```

Alas,

My earthbound mind

Is suffering

From my heart’s

Ingratitude-life.

```

4510

```

You have strengthened

Your confidence in God.

That means

Your life has visibly become

God’s Satisfaction-Light.

```

4511

```

To please God in my own way

I go to God with empty hands.

To please God in God’s own Way

I go to God with an empty heart. ```

4512

```

Opportunity

Is going to touch your feet

If you are ready

To remain stationed carefully

In God’s Heart.

```

4513

```

He is his heart’s

Secret tears.

He is his life’s

Sacred mind. ```

4514

```

You have been invited

To attend a cosmic dance

In Heaven.

That means you are far above

The attack of ignorance-lance.

```

4515

```

When will the world-heart smile,

When?

The world-heart needs illumination.

When will the world-mind cry,

When?

The world-mind needs purification.

```

4516

```

If you ceaselessly seek

A simplicity-life

And a purity-heart,

You will definitely expedite

Your God-journey.

```

4517

```

Never be disappointed

If you see that your first steps

In your spiritual life

Are feeble. ```

4518

```

Alas, he no longer appreciates

His aspiration-course.

Alas, he is completely obedient

To his false inner messages. ```

4519

```

I live

Where Love divine lives,

And that is inside

My purity’s heart-garden. ```

4520

```

A doubting mind

Is an undeveloped

And unevolved state

Of consciousness-reality. ```

4521

```

An aspiring life

Never forgets

God’s Compassion-Light

And never regrets

Its past failures.

```

4522

```

When I think of God,

I feel that God’s Love for me

Is His unconditional Guarantee.

```

4523

```

Do you not see

That your vital is more insistent

Than a swarm of insects

In disturbing and ruining

Your heart’s poise?

```

4524

```

God can be seen

Even by the poorest fool,

But not by the self-styled,

God-arguing

Intellectual giants.

```

4525

```

If you do not have the courage

To be sincere,

How can you expect God

To be the Writer

Of your life-story?

```

4526

```

God is not going to pass through

The thick wall

Of your disobedience-mind.

No, never!

You may wait for Eternity,

But all in vain. ```

4527

```

True, your aspiration-elevator

Has come down

And touched the ground floor.

But you can easily bring it up

Once again

To the top floor. ```

4528

```

God’s biggest Headache

Is not my desire-life

But my unwillingness to accept

The aspiration-life. ```

4529

```

I agree,

You can easily scale

My heart’s aspiration-height.

But I tell you,

You can never scale

The whole height

Of my soulful life.

```

4530

```

Hell speaks

Through your suspicion-mind.

Heaven speaks

Through your aspiration-heart. ```

4531

```

Since you are drowning

In luxury-sea,

How can you be found

In God’s Ecstasy-Ocean? ```

4532

```

If you are a great God-lover,

Then every day

Your aspiration-heart

Needs a tune-up. ```

4533

```

Wherever your heart goes,

Do not allow your jealous mind

To follow,

For your mind can do great harm

To your soul’s perfection-beauty.

```

4534

```

You have travelled far

And you have found nothing.

Why?

Because you have walked along the path

Of your doubting mind.

```

4535

```

You fool!

Why are you still dragging

Your lifeless and useless

Vital-tiger

Along your soul’s sunlit path?

```

4536

```

My Lord Supreme,

May my heart’s surrender-life

Blossom every day

At Your Compassion-Feet. ```

4537

```

God has given me a new task.

He wants me to measure

Carefully and impartially

The depth of my self-giving heart. ```

4538

```

My heart feels miserable

When it has to live

With its strangling vital

And its doubting mind

Inside the body-room.

```

4539

```

Now that you have gone out

Of your heart’s obedience-room,

You will be devoured by the tiger

Of your mind’s doubt-forest. ```

4540

```

Because you guard your heart

With your soul’s illumination-power,

Yours will be the life

Of Himalayan triumph. ```

4541

```

Since you yourself

Do not trust your mind,

Quite often your service-life

Is God’s stupendous Satisfaction-Delight.

This is what God has been telling you

All the time. ```

4542

```

To humiliate a fellow seeker

Is to ruin

One’s own perfection-performance

On the life-stage. ```

4543

```

I love and need God sleeplessly.

This realisation is possible

Only in my perfection-dreams.

```

4544

```

God has given me a heart.

But alas,

I do not know how to teach my heart

To cry like an infant

For God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

4545

```

I am exceedingly proud of you!

At long last

You have brought your impurity-vital

Under control. ```

4546

```

You do not have to be

The fastest starter.

Just be a starter!

You will, without fail,

Reach your destination-sun.

```

4547

```

A true devotee knows

That inside his heart

Will always be found

The dance of his aspiration-sunbeams. ```

4548

```

Indifference

Is the last resort

When a spiritual Master sees

That a particular seeker

Is an absolutely hopeless case.

```

4549

```

A God-lover is he

Whose heart and life have become

A ceaselessly flowing

And self-giving river. ```

4550

```

O my mind,

You can do something infinitely better

Than suspecting my purity-heart.

```

4551

```

You do not want to know

How much affection, love and surrender

You gave to God.

Indeed, this is a clear sign

Of your progress.

```

4552

```

It is unfair

To judge your life

Only by your today’s

Deplorable performance. ```

4553

```

Because you have shunned the company

Of your old friend,

Ignorance-night,

God is teaching you today

The Dance of His Beauty’s Life.

```

4554

```

Unless you shorten

Your life’s frustration-line,

Your heart can never be happy.

```

4555

```

Be careful!

Your inner progress

Is very fragile.

Carelessly

Do not destroy it!

```

4556

```

Your aspiration-passport

To paradise

Has definitely expired.

You must renew it

As soon as possible

If you want a free access

To delight-world.

```

4557

```

He lives inside

The citadel of purity.

Therefore

A life of divinity

Cannot remain a far cry.

```

4558

```

If you sincerely mourn

Your vanished inner progress,

Then God will definitely give you

Another chance to become perfect

And remain perfect.

```

4559

```

If you want to be

A choice instrument of God,

Then plant aspiration-dedication-virtues

In your soul’s inner soil. ```

4560

```

I can ignore everything

Except one thing:

The cry of my neglected heart.

```

4561

```

You are longing for the birth

Of a brighter future.

Then do not be afraid

Of your daily

Spiritual struggle-hurdles.

```

4562

```

Your new self

Is knocking at God’s Liberation-Door.

Indeed,

This is your supreme achievement. ```

4563

```

Mine is the aspiration-heart

That every day

Longs to sport

On my life’s progress-mountain. ```

4564

```

I shall see only two plants

In my garden of tomorrow:

My gratitude-heart-plant

And my surrender-life-plant. ```

4565

```

Impurity

And its suffocating embrace

Can never be separated.

```

4566

```

Each living breath of his

Is flourishing

In the rich soil of aspiration.

```

4567

```

What is uncertainty?

It is the false dance

Of the mind’s deplorable anxiety.

```

4568

```

The sound-life

Has many, many questions.

The silence-life

Has not only the answers

But also the best answers.

```

4569

```

The effulgence of Heaven

Is not for you,

For you have already fallen

Into the self-indulgence trap. ```

4570

```

Now that you have dethroned

Your doubt-king,

You have a new king

Who will guide you

And satisfy you,

And that new king

Is your heart’s faith.

```

4571

```

I deeply admire your capacity

To transform the frustration-jungle

Into a satisfaction-garden.

```

4572

```

Your insecurity-heart

Foolishly expects to be honoured

In the aspiration-academy.

```

4573

```

You are cultivating

Your progress-plants.

Therefore, God has invited you

To board the satisfaction-plane. ```

4574

```

Your aspiration-heart

Is the most adequate tranquilliser

To stop the trembling hand

Of fear. ```

4575

```

When will you be exhausted

From your useless,

Excessive self-thought,

When? ```

4576

```

If you shine from within,

You will never be attacked

By feeble human love.

```

4577

```

I march only

In my heart’s purity-parade

And my life’s surrender-parade.

```

4578

```

Now that you have thrown

Your doubt-ball

Far away,

Yours will be the heart that runs

From victory to victory.

```

4579

```

To say that I shall not try

To be perfect

Any more

Is an unforgivable offence

Against God the Compassion.

```

4580

```

Be quiet, O my mind!

God is now having a serious talk

With my surrender-heart

And my gratitude-life. ```

4581

```

What will you accomplish

By treasuring yesterday’s dreams?

You have to treasure

Only today’s reality. ```

4582

```

Alas, you do not realise

That your soul-bird is always ready

To shelter your heart

Under its beautiful and powerful wings. ```

4583

```

Nobody is going to buy

Your mind’s thought-fabric,

Nobody!

Everybody wants the adamantine will

Of your perfection-garden.

```

4584

```

God’s Compassion

And my aspiration

Have most cheerfully agreed

To become inseparably one. ```

4585

```

The deadline was

The day before yesterday,

But God gave you

Another chance yesterday,

And today He is giving you

Still another chance

Out of His infinite Compassion.

This time do not disappoint Him!

Please Him in His own Way

For your immortal satisfaction. ```

4586

```

It is indeed a great blessing

To take human birth.

It is indeed a greater satisfaction

When God can manifest Himself

Uninterrupted,

In His own Way,

In and through you.

```

4587

```

Instead of illumining the world-heart,

He confuses the world-mind

When he tells the world

That he has lost

His God-realisation.

```

4588

```

The hostile forces

Are untouchable!

This is what you have to convince

Your entire being. ```

4589

```

The same old story!

You are nothing

But the dissatisfaction

Of your dark desire-life. ```

4590

```

The greatest misery

In a seeker’s life

Is when he finds it impossible

To give up his disobedience-life. ```

4591

```

If you visit God’s cosmic Vision-Garden,

Will you not enjoy

God’s sacred Heart-Fragrance?

```

4592

```

If you do not

Come to the aid of your soul

When it fights against ignorance-night,

Then you and your soul

Will be equal losers.

```

4593

```

Where were you

When God so compassionately

Served His unconditional Delight-Meal?

Everybody else came.

Where were you?

```

4594

```

Since you have the strongest desire

To be invited by God,

Then breathe in

By far the greatest prayer:

Patience-light.

```

4595

```

Good news from Heaven:

Heaven will teach me

How to feel

God’s Heart on earth.

Good news from earth:

Earth will teach me

How to touch

God’s Feet in Heaven. ```

4596

```

It is entirely your own fault

That you are deliberately avoiding

The inner struggle

To discipline your life. ```

4597

```

Now that you have closed

Your mind’s complaint-door,

Your heart’s hunger

For God’s Satisfaction-Feast

Is bound to increase.

```

4598

```

A sincere mind

Dwells on God.

A pure heart

Dwells in God. ```

4599

```

I have come back

To my heart-country,

And I am feeding myself

With my soul’s

Selflessness-fragrance.

```

4600

```

You have claimed God

As your very own.

This is indeed

God’s greatest Satisfaction. ```
