Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 53

5201

```

If your heart

Is one hundred per cent pure,

Then yours will be the life

Of sleeplessly unalloyed ecstasy. ```

5202

```

God’s Compassion-Heart

Has given him

A first-class

Sacred sainthood-life. ```

5203

```

O my mind,

When I think of you,

I feel nothing but the torture

Of unhappiness. ```

5204

```

You have done

Absolutely the right thing

By digging

Your self-discovery-tunnel. ```

5205

```

The height

Of your heart-flight

Has liberated you

From your murky mind-muddle. ```

5206

```

Do not play for a long time

With ignorance

Or you will one day be beheaded

By ignorance-guillotine. ```

5207

```

What your mind needs

Is the beauty of liberation

And not the unconsciousness

Of hesitation. ```

5208

```

Although his mind does not know

What is real and what is unreal,

His life’s continuous zeal

Is for the real. ```

5209

```

Be careful, be careful!

At any moment

Ignorance-dam can completely block

Your heart’s life-river. ```

5210

```

Eternity’s aspiration-art

Is a work

Of divinity’s heart.

```

5211

```

The animal in him was caught

While trespassing

In his heart’s love-empire.

```

5212

```

It does not take much time

For God the Listener

To become God the Giver.

```

5213

```

Your past failure-life

Is undoubtedly the prologue

To your future happy life.

```

5214

```

A fantasy-filled life

Cannot go very far.

It can never arrive

At reality’s door. ```

5215

```

There was a time

When I enjoyed expectation-joy.

Alas, now I am forced

To take the bitter pills

Of frustration.

```

5216

```

Take the oneness-step

And yours will be the life

Of supreme success.

```

5217

```

Your life’s conflicting loyalties

Are hypnotising

Your weak mind.

```

5218

```

If you have

A good heart of love,

Then make it better

By transforming it

Into perfection-delight.

```

5219

```

Because of his surrender-life,

Because of his purity-heart

He has won

The perfection-grand prix. ```

5220

```

Each awakened soul

Has only one mission:

World-family reunion.

```

5221

```

God has no private property.

His Property

Is for the hearts that love Him

And want to grow for Him. ```

5222

```

What you need

At every moment

Is a prayer-cure

For your unaspiring heart. ```

5223

```

Is there any day

When God is not anxious

To hear a “Hello” from you?

```

5224

```

Do you know

What you have become?

You have become

Your life’s vanity-tree. ```

5225

```

If you can wholeheartedly fight

For God,

God will appreciate you

Far beyond your imagination.

Then you will not need

Self-flattering imaginations. ```

5226

```

Questions asked by the mind

Can easily be answered by the heart.

Questions asked by the heart

Can rarely be answered by the mind. ```

5227

```

Even he who aspires

Is not exempt from ignorance-tax

All the time.

```

5228

```

He is expecting news

From a new world,

His heart-world.

God is definitely

Going to supply him

With new News. ```

5229

```

His only aim in life

Is to join the army

Of Eternity’s freedom-thoughts.

```

5230

```

It is you who have to make the choice

Whether you are going to live

In your sacred meditation-temple

Or inside your mind’s confusion-prison. ```

5231

```

Yesterday

I heard God

Walking in my heart-garden.

Today

I am seeing God

Walking in my heart-garden.

Tomorrow

God and I together

Will walk in my heart-garden.

```

5232

```

You simply cannot imagine

How deeply I admire

Your silver faith

In your sun-bright future. ```

5233

```

When will the world offer itself

To God?

The world will offer itself to God

Only when it realises

That it has nothing and is nothing

To be proud of. ```

5234

```

Do you know why God is dancing?

God is dancing because

Your life’s stupendous pretence-bubble

Has completely burst! ```

5235

```

God’s Perfection-Dream

Is definitely

Your heart’s Heavenly heritage.

```

5236

```

If you do not withdraw

The venom-shaft

Of your vital-impurity-arrow,

You will suffer

The most painful experience in life.

```

5237

```

My concentration is always crushed

When my vital and my mind

Start enjoying

Useless marathon conversations. ```

5238

```

Disappointment is tearing

At your heart

Because your life wants to embark

On a disobedience-career. ```

5239

```

Aspiration

Is the absolute beginning

Of permanent

Emancipation. ```

5240

```

A child’s truth-filled eyes

I saw in him

Right from the day I became

His ardent admirer. ```

5241

```

My aspiration-heart tells me

Only one thing:

God’s Tears are more real

Than God Himself. ```

5242

```

O error-torn humanity,

I have the heart

To sympathise with you.

Alas, what I need is the soul

To liberate you from making errors.

```

5243

```

The final lesson

Of ignorance-life is:

You can live without God.

```

5244

```

If you allow your mind

To be caught

In the currents of desire,

How can your soul

Fulfil its newness-hope

And its fulness-promise? ```

5245

```

During the intellectual period

Of his life,

Not only his mind

But also his heart

Was empty of peace.

```

5246

```

A heart of purity

Always has the capacity

To shine like the snow-white

And blue-gold peaks

Of aspiration-mountain.

```

5247

```

A doubtful mind

Kills the beauty

Of the unknown.

A prayerful heart

Kindles the flames

Of the Unknowable.

```

5248

```

My soul

Simply does not want to hear

That I have become so familiar

With earthly defeats. ```

5249

```

Now I see why

You have so many confusion-arrows

Of self-doubt.

You have all along been living

Inside your tangled jungle-mind.

```

5250

```

If you have a God-thirsty heart,

That means

God is all the time dreaming of you

In a very special way. ```

5251

```

Because your life has become

A sleepless selflessness,

God will be teaching you

His Infinity’s Fulness-Dance. ```

5252

```

Your soulfulness-heart

And God’s Illumination-Eye

Before long

Will greet each other. ```

5253

```

Why do you not cut down

The forest of your wild desires,

If you really want to free yourself

From the stark frowns

Of this dark earth?

```

5254

```

Who says

That you cannot conquer time?

Just try to satisfy

God’s Compassion-Heart.

Lo, you have conquered

Eternity’s immortal Time. ```

5255

```

My heart’s candlelight

And my life’s hope-flames

Are going to show me the way

As I walk along

Eternity’s God-Vision-Road.

```

5256

```

The purity of the heart

Compelled the impurity of the mind

To renounce its plot

Against God-Satisfaction on earth. ```

5257

```

Do you know what you are doing?

You are only enjoying

The fantasy of your pride.

Do you know what you can be?

You can be the hope and promise

Of your heart’s Absolute.

```

5258

```

Who am I?

I am my life’s

Unfinished God-work.

```

5259

```

His is an infallible animal instinct

To ruthlessly ruin

Others’ flower-hearts.

```

5260

```

You are always at war

With yourself.

Therefore, you are always forced

To show a sorrow-bowed head

To both Heaven and earth.

```

5261

```

If you have a sincerity-mind

And a purity-heart,

Then you can never seek gold.

You can only seek God. ```

5262

```

You are not the curse

Of your confusion-mind.

You are the blessing

Of your illumination-soul. ```

5263

```

Can you mind your own business?

When did God ask you

To transform humanity’s weaknesses?

```

5264

```

All vital demonstrations

Are almost incurable diseases

In the seeker’s inner life.

```

5265

```

Mine is the aspiration-heart

That loves only one land:

The land of silence-delight.

```

5266

```

In spite of our weakness-life

We can easily stand before God,

Because God is all Compassion.

But we cannot stand before Truth,

Because Truth is all justice.

```

5267

```

As long as your mind indulges

In mountain-pride,

Your heart will not be able

To grant your mind

The ecstasy of God’s Oneness-Delight.

```

5268

```

Not an easy task

To remove

The body’s heavy lethargy-load.

Not an easy task

To illumine

The mind’s dark destruction-doubts.

```

5269

```

God has already read

Your heart-poems.

Now either beg or force your mind

To read those precious poems. ```

5270

```

God sleeplessly fights

Only on the heart-battlefield

Of His supremely chosen

Instrument-children

For their permanent victory

Over the abysmal abyss

Of ignorance-night.

```

5271

```

A man of determination

Can easily prove to the world

That he is not a slave

To imperfection-monarch. ```

5272

```

True,

I never spoke with God,

But every day

My heart of love speaks

With His Eye of Compassion

And my mind of impurity speaks

With His Heart of Forgiveness.

```

5273

```

In oneness-love

The life of ego’s demonstration-dance

Comes to a complete halt.

```

5274

```

How will you recognise Heaven?

You will recognise Heaven

With your unconditional oneness-love

For the world. ```

5275

```

My Lord,

Will You give me another chance

To please You?

“My child,

I can give you as many chances

As you not only need

But also want

To please Me in My own Way.”

```

5276

```

Who is inside me?

Ah, I see it is my Beloved Supreme.

Who is running ahead of me?

Ah, I see it is my Lord Absolute. ```

5277

```

I want to prove to the world

That although my past was only mortal

My present and future

Will be absolutely immortal. ```

5278

```

At the high tide of his earthly triumph,

He went to Heaven

With his heart’s most soulful cry

To sit at God’s Compassion-Feet. ```

5279

```

O my mind,

Why do you blame God?

He has not forced you

To be an endless store

Of useless thoughts.

```

5280

```

Either you have to draw

The picture of your self-perfection,

Or everybody else

Will continue taking the picture

Of your mind’s deception-life.

```

5281

```

When God turns your heart-tears

Into your life-smiles,

Your heart reaches Heaven’s

Pinnacle-height. ```

5282

```

Your purity-born aspiration

Will definitely be able to play

With God’s Divinity-smiling Face.

```

5283

```

Mine is a soulful hope-boat.

How can I have you,

O doubt-passenger,

In my boat? ```

5284

```

Be careful

Of your absent-minded prayers.

They can easily cause

Very serious problems for you. ```

5285

```

I have been asleep

All my life,

Yet I want to know

How close I am

To Heaven’s gate.

```

5286

```

There can be

No better start in life

Than to surrender your expectations

To God’s Will. ```

5287

```

At last!

I am so happy to see

Your sunrise-heart

And sunset-mind. ```

5288

```

Simplicity is felicity.

Simplicity is God’s Beauty

In its pristine form.

```

5289

```

Am I a fool,

To enter into the desert

Of your desire-life?

```

5290

```

You want to be satisfied

With your life-position,

But God wants you to be satisfied

With your life-disposition. ```

5291

```

Fear is only a thought.

Courage is not only a thought

But also an adventure

To transform the unknown

Into a known reality.

```

5292

```

For a fearless life

God is his

Perfection-vision,

God is his

Satisfaction-reality.

```

5293

```

If your mind is in a collision

With your heart,

Everybody will know

That it is your mind

That wants to enjoy destruction.

```

5294

```

What is failure?

It is something that, in vain,

Loves to be loved

By success. ```

5295

```

Your prayers will transform your heart

And not alter God’s Vision-Plan.

Therefore, why do you not continue

To do the right thing

For yourself?

```

5296

```

Yesterday

My heart became

God’s Vision-lover.

Today

God has made my heart

His Vision-interpreter.

```

5297

```

Who says God has no desires?

God has desires

And His main Desire is

Humanity’s constant progress. ```

5298

```

If you want to live

Under the unclouded sun,

Then you must not allow

Your aspiration-heart

To sleep any longer.

```

5299

```

If you do not have faith

Either in God’s Compassion

Or in your own determination,

Then you will definitely become

An experienced loser

In the battlefield of your life. ```

5300

```

My Lord Supreme,

Now that You have given me

The golden waves of Your Love-Sea,

How can I ask You for anything else?

I do not need anything more.
