Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 51

5001

```

Like your heart,

You can be happy

Only when you ask God

How things can be done

In God’s own Way.

```

5002

```

Do not forget

That God does not cherish

Your inferiority feelings,

Just as He does not cherish

The superiority feelings of others.

```

5003

```

One tiny insignificant word,

Doubt,

Has the capacity to ruin

The poise of the entire world. ```

5004

```

Our oldest friend,

Love,

Tells us and shows us

That it can be our eternal friend. ```

5005

```

If you give to mankind

Your life’s gifts

With a careless hand,

Mankind is not going to appreciate

Your gifts

And is not going to derive

Any benefit from them.

```

5006

```

If you really have concern

For someone,

You can never hide

The stupendous power

Of your concern.

```

5007

```

Remember your promise to God:

You will break all the resistance

Of your doubtful and harmful mind.

```

5008

```

The person with the ultimate power

Knows that without love

His life is dry and dust-filled.

```

5009

```

Disappointment does not touch him,

For every day

God grants his heart

A new appointment. ```

5010

```

Be careful of the past!

It has the power

To powerfully control

Not only the present

But also the entire future.

```

5011

```

His mind’s impurity-thoughts

And his heart’s purity-will

Are in perpetual conflict.

```

5012

```

Can I really live without

God’s constant Compassion

And Forgiveness?

This question requires

My immediate answer.

```

5013

```

A strange invitation has arrived

From the world unknown.

A sinner and a saint are invited

Together,

And they will be served together.

```

5014

```

The immensity of self-offering

Is the perfection-beauty

Of a divine being.

```

5015

```

If you want to satisfy

Any wish of yours,

Then keep in mind

Your ancient promise:

God-manifestation will be

Your life-breath. ```

5016

```

A brave soldier always knows

That to achieve something great

And to become something good,

Now

Is always the best time.

```

5017

```

When I enter into the vital world,

I hear nothing but bad news.

When I enter into the mental world,

I hear nothing but sad news.

When I enter into the psychic world,

I get the happiest news:

My Beloved Lord Supreme is all ready

To play with me. ```

5018

```

If you think of God,

Pray to God

And love God soulfully,

Then you are bound to become

A possessor of marvellous secrets

And fantastic stories

From the other world.

```

5019

```

There is only one disaster ahead:

Your total failure

Due to your

Wilful unwillingness. ```

5020

```

You have anchored your heart

In the infinite Love of God.

Therefore

You do not have to worry

About anything

In the world of dreams

Or in the world of realities.

```

5021

```

If you are a money-minded seeker,

Then you will not be blessed

With God’s Satisfaction-Smile,

Even in your dreams. ```

5022

```

A life of temptation

Compels you to stumble.

When you stumble,

Your vital is displayed to the outer world

With your unconscious frustration-frown.

```

5023

```

Try hard to obey the unknown.

Otherwise, the Unknowable

Will be extremely strict

With your life. ```

5024

```

God wants you to be

A liberated soul.

But it seems that

You do not want anything more

Than to become a frustrated seeker.

```

5025

```

You are proud of your

Confessed insecurities.

But I shall be proud of you

Only if you invite your soul

To be your God-security.

```

5026

```

Your doubting mind is laughing

At imminent disasters.

Alas, your mind does not realise

That it has already reached

The highest height of stupidity.

```

5027

```

Do you know

What God has taught him?

God has taught him

Secretly, sacredly, compassionately

And unmistakably

How to forgive

His own unforgivable life.

```

5028

```

O my proud mind,

May death invite you

To its deathless party!

```

5029

```

The moonrise heralds

His heart’s purity.

The sunrise heralds

His life’s beauty. ```

5030

```

How can your foggy mind

Appreciate

The vision-illumination

Of your soul? ```

5031

```

My unparalleled inheritance

From God:

A gratitude-heart

And a surrender-life. ```

5032

```

God’s Smile will be available

Only when your attachment-cries

Are nowhere to be seen.

```

5033

```

My Lord Supreme has to visit

A few places this morning.

Therefore

He has left His Fragrance-Smile

In my heart.

```

5034

```

Who will save the world?

Not a king, not a diplomat —

No, nobody except one person,

And he is

The unconditional God-lover.

```

5035

```

I always admire

Your detachment-heart.

I always dislike

Your indifference-eye. ```

5036

```

When there is no difference

Between you and your heart’s

Meditation-sea,

God will grant you

His Peace-Empire.

```

5037

```

He thinks that he is too poor,

And his poverty is not allowing him

To think of God.

You think that you are too rich,

And therefore your riches

Are not allowing you

To think of God.

I think that I am neither poor nor rich.

Therefore God the Compassion

Has given me the capacity

To become man the aspiration. ```

5038

```

Poor God has been suffering

Right from the day

He created this world.

Therefore

We must not make complaints to God

Against any human being

And add to His countless problems.

```

5039

```

My mind wants to be

With the new generation

Of truth-seekers.

My heart longs to be

With the new generation

Of God-lovers.

And I aspire to be

With the new generation

Of world-transformers.

```

5040

```

When bad thoughts come to you,

Grab them and place them

In front of God’s Destruction-Eye.

When good thoughts come to you,

Carry them gently and place them

At God’s Compassion-Feet.

```

5041

```

In vain

Your mind wants to be admired

By offering to the world

False aspiration-coin. ```

5042

```

If your mind is confined

All the time

To stupid curiosity,

Then it will never

Be able to arrive

At divinity’s ecstasy-palace. ```

5043

```

Attachment precedes

Wild frustration.

This is an undeniable

Human experience. ```

5044

```

Do not foresee

A frightening future.

Believe only

In an ever-enlightening present. ```

5045

```

Why have you allowed your life

To be enchained

By your absolutely useless

Idleness-body? ```

5046

```

Each time he meditates soulfully,

He sees a new helicopter-heart

Flying up into Infinity’s Delight-sky.

```

5047

```

Before temptation touches your mind,

Run with your heart

Towards God’s Compassion-Destination.

```

5048

```

When I met God in the morning,

He immediately gave me

A clear vision

Of His Eternity’s Road. ```

5049

```

Pray soulfully,

Pray sleeplessly.

God is bound to hear

Even your faint

And faltering prayer.

```

5050

```

The most difficult thing on earth

For a human being to feel

Is that yesterday’s misdeeds

Are the cause of today’s suffering. ```

5051

```

The human mind not only has suspicion

In abundant measure,

But also is eager to pour suspicion-night

Into the human heart. ```

5052

```

My Lord Supreme,

If You do not want to forgive me,

I shall not mind,

But please, please forgive

My daily false prayers.

```

5053

```

I cannot master

Even my own mind.

How can I then expect to govern

The unruly vital of the world? ```

5054

```

My mind was ruined

By cleverness.

My heart was ruined

By helplessness.

My life was ruined

By unwillingness. ```

5055

```

My Compassion-Lord

Has transformed my wisdom-thoughts

Into flaming prayers.

```

5056

```

I am satisfied

Only when my meditation shows me

A flaming rainbow

Descending from the Vision-Eye

Of my Beloved Supreme.

```

5057

```

I can easily open

My heart’s new

Love-devotion-surrender-lock.

```

5058

```

When I sing,

I sing with the beauty

Of the moon.

When I dance,

I dance with the divinity

Of the sun.

When I cry,

I cry with the helplessness

Of the world.

```

5059

```

If you think that your mind

Is all preoccupied

And therefore

You cannot think of God,

Then God the Satisfaction

Is not meant for you. ```

5060

```

I ceaselessly admire

Your purity-heart.

I sleeplessly adore

Your divinity-life.

I breathlessly love

Your inner immortality-cry. ```

5061

```

Because you have a new heart,

You will be the possessor

Of new God-experiences.

```

5062

```

The entire world is running —

Running either towards

God the Satisfaction

Or man the frustration. ```

5063

```

My mind is not my worst enemy.

My worst enemy is my mind’s unwillingness

To become inseparably one

With my purity-heart. ```

5064

```

If you give from your heart,

Then your offering will be

Not only unimaginable

But also indisputable. ```

5065

```

If you have regained faith,

That means

Fear and doubt have lost you

For good. ```

5066

```

You are not your parrot-mind!

You are a strong partner

Of your inventor-soul.

```

5067

```

You do not have to meet God

Halfway.

Just try to walk always

Towards God’s Way. ```

5068

```

My Lord Supreme,

Will You not make me the best

At least in one thing?

Will You not make me

The best forgiveness-customer of Yours?

```

5069

```

If you are loyal

Only to God’s Love,

Then happiness will be

Your only name

Within, without, below, above.

```

5070

```

I must congratulate your mind

Wholeheartedly,

For it has passed far beyond

The vast doubt-territory. ```

5071

```

I have measured my aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life

With my Lord’s Compassion-Ruler.

Therefore, my entire being

Is completely fulfilled and satisfied.

```

5072

```

His purity-life

Is lit

By his heart’s

Beauty-moon. ```

5073

```

I am not a fool!

I shall never march

In my vital’s frustration-parade.

```

5074

```

If you pray soulfully,

You will not be able

To expect the worst.

You can and you will

Only hope for the best.

```

5075

```

God does not want you to crawl

On your hands and knees

To reach Him.

He just wants you to participate

In all His races.

```

5076

```

My Lord tells me

That I need no other companion

Save and except

His Compassion-Smile. ```

5077

```

Whatever his soulful heart touches

Immediately becomes

The most beautiful gold

To satisfy his Lord Supreme

In His own Way.

```

5078

```

To believe news about God

From the mind-newspaper

Is to be at once

Deceived and frustrated. ```

5079

```

True, God is not yet bored

With your life.

But you must not do anything unaspiring

Deliberately,

For that will bore Him

Immediately. ```

5080

```

You may break all the promises

That you have made to humanity,

But never break even one promise

To God

If you want to unveil

God’s Smile on earth

And reveal humanity’s cry

In Heaven. ```

5081

```

I do not believe in defeat.

I believe only in victory.

Whose victory?

Definitely not mine, but God’s. ```

5082

```

Even God-instruments are no exception.

They become useless

Like other instruments

When they rest too long. ```

5083

```

Don’t discuss,

Don’t think,

Just do!

```

5084

```

Don’t dream!

Where is the time to dream?

Just become

What God wants you to become. ```

5085

```

Do not listen to your vital!

It is anxious to tell you

Horrifying God-denying stories.

```

5086

```

Because your heart is pure,

The heart of the world

Has become pure to you.

```

5087

```

Your soulfully patient

Persistence-tears

Are bound to win

God’s supreme Smiles. ```

5088

```

What I never need

Is a doleful mind.

What I ever need

Is a soulful heart. ```

5089

```

His meditation-dawn

Has purified the impurity

Of his mind’s city.

```

5090

```

How can you lose

In the battlefield of life

If you are already well-acquainted

With the real life in you:

Your heart’s aspiration-cry?

```

5091

```

You must be always ready for anything.

Who knows,

God may at any moment ask you

To become another God

To share His countless problems.

```

5092

```

Be an artist of the soul.

Then every day

You will be able to paint

A positive picture

Of your desire-freed life.

```

5093

```

Since you do not want

To be misled,

Why do you allow

Your mind to lead you?

Since you want

To be fed,

Why do you not allow

Your loving heart to feed you? ```

5094

```

“I want to be happy,

But I do not know how.”

This is humanity’s

Regularly unfailing message. ```

5095

```

My Lord, You are telling me

That You have all along

Been here with me.

But how is it

That I cannot recognise You?

Is it really possible

For me to ignore You?

```

5096

```

Since you are well-acquainted

With your higher self,

You will be visited

By God’s Satisfaction-Vision-Eye. ```

5097

```

The end of your Heavenly journey is near,

If this is what you want.

The beginning of your

Self-transcending earthly journey

Can at any time start,

The moment you are ready. ```

5098

```

My Lord Supreme,

Your Forgiveness-Smile

Is the most important thing

That You eternally have for me,

Your weak seeker-son

And Your strong lover-friend. ```

5099

```

You are the most pathetic seeker!

Only God, the most sympathetic Listener!

And no human being

Can be of any use to you. ```

5100

```

My Lord Supreme,

My Beloved Absolute,

Please do not allow me to miss

The privilege

Of Your earthly physical Presence.
