Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 67

6601

```

Only the peace-thirsty souls

Eventually become

God’s new smiling morning-dawns.

```

6602

```

The seeker who has surrendered

His all

To the Will of His Beloved Supreme

Can never be under the power

Of earthly death.

```

6603

```

If you can soar

Beyond your mind-limits,

Then you are bound to see

A never-ending beginning. ```

6604

```

How can you make fruitful progress

In your aspiration-life

If you allow your mind’s doubt

To blow out your aspiration-flames

Every day?

```

6605

```

Wisdom-born willingness

Has the capacity

And is the capacity

To satisfy God always

In His own Way.

```

6606

```

You are the most perfect instrument

Of God

Precisely because

Your heart has grown into

A galaxy of gratitude-stars.

```

6607

```

God’s estimated time of arrival

At a seeker’s heart-door

Is the Eternal Now.

```

6608

```

Where else can you find peace

If not in your cheerful obedience

To God’s all-seeing Will?

```

6609

```

There shall come a time

When you will be filled

With self-disgust,

For you have been deceiving

The Real in you,

Your soul. ```

6610

```

God has gone out of His way

To help you.

Yet every day you enjoy

Dragging your deplorable past

Behind you.

```

6611

```

Just take a serious look

At your aspiration-life.

Behold,

Powerful doubt-waves

Are drowning you.

```

6612

```

Invoke the presence

Of your illumination-soul

To avert the collision

Between

Your doubting mind

And your aspiring heart. ```

6613

```

You want to conquer

Your disappointment-life.

Then bring to the fore

Your gratitude-heart. ```

6614

```

If you are selfless

To the last breath,

Then God will definitely open for you

The Door of His Infinity’s

Silence-Light.

```

6615

```

If you are a true God-lover,

Then when do you have

The time to rest?

And if you need rest,

Where else must you rest

If not in the Heart

Of your Beloved Supreme?

```

6616

```

To feel the throb of your heart

In all hearts

During your meditation,

Every day you must destroy

Your uncomely thoughts.

```

6617

```

My Lord Supreme

Does not allow me to sing

Wherever I want to.

He only allows me to sing

In the silence of my soul-room.

```

6618

```

In the small hours of the morning

Every day

My Lord Supreme comes to inspect

My heart’s burning aspiration. ```

6619

```

I want to possess God:

This is my old discovery.

I want God to possess me:

This is my new invention. ```

6620

```

When I see God,

The first thing I will do

Is place Him on the throne

Of my silence-heart. ```

6621

```

Each divine thought

Comes into existence

From the boundless ocean

Of love divine. ```

6622

```

Is there any human being

Who has not lived

In the wasteland of wrong beliefs,

Even for a few fleeting days? ```

6623

```

Each good thought

Is a piece of Heaven

That a God-lover carries

Wherever he goes. ```

6624

```

Your parrot-prayers

Will never be able to lead you

To God’s Garden

Of celestial blossoms. ```

6625

```

It is good

To run a hopeful race.

But it is by far the best

To run a soulful race. ```

6626

```

How can you succeed?

Can you not see

That your mind is lost

In yesterday’s failures

And that you are losing your heart

In tomorrow’s doubts? ```

6627

```

With your second-rate aspiration

You can do only one thing:

You can disappoint God

Far beyond your imagination. ```

6628

```

You will always have

A better view of God

From the soulfulness-window

Of your heart-room. ```

6629

```

I always take very special care

Of my aspiration-compass,

For it always points me

Towards the Heart

Of my Beloved Supreme.

```

6630

```

My Lord Supreme,

I know You have no time

To enter into my reality-life,

But do enter into my dream-life

Every night.

```

6631

```

If you are fluent

In the heart-language,

God’s transcendental Smile

Will be your towering achievement. ```

6632

```

Your inner life is crumbling.

You will have to start

All over again.

Rest assured, this is not

An uncommon experience

In human life. ```

6633

```

O greedy information-seeker,

God is not going to visit you

With His Heart’s Illumination-Sun.

```

6634

```

Now that he has joined

The aspiration-heart-committee,

He has developed the capacity to believe

That God will soon arrive. ```

6635

```

On his maiden meditation-voyage,

Heaven garlanded him

With its celestial melodies.

```

6636

```

Never be late

For your God-appointment!

Develop invincible determination,

And every day nurture

Your Olympian dream

Of satisfying God

In His own Way.

```

6637

```

My Lord Supreme,

I need only one Boon from You:

Your Heart’s sunlit Smile.

```

6638

```

If you know how to run

Up the escalator of progress-light,

You will be invited to dance

To the music of the blue stars. ```

6639

```

His life’s sincerity-paved

Surrender-street

Invites all his seeker-friends.

```

6640

```

Only your heart’s

Gratitude-flower

Will produce satisfaction-fragrance

For God. ```

6641

```

The eruption of doubt-volcano

Has made your life

Fearful plus pitiful.

```

6642

```

After I finished

My inner race,

God granted me

His Symphony of Smiles. ```

6643

```

Do you know why

God is so pleased with you?

Because you have revealed

The tireless strides

Of an aspiration-runner.

```

6644

```

There is no distance

Too great

For a oneness-God-lover

To cover. ```

6645

```

Daily exercise

Your inner, soulful love-life

To become

God’s champion-instrument. ```

6646

```

Each seeker-face

Is undoubtedly

Another beautiful and meaningful

Photograph of God. ```

6647

```

You are a divine waiter

In God’s Oneness-Home-Restaurant.

Therefore

In you I see

Roaring lion-waves of joy.

```

6648

```

Simplicity-knocks

Will definitely be able

To open the fulfilment-door.

```

6649

```

At long last

He has terminated

His fruitless self-indulgence-career.

```

6650

```

Two close friends

Of ingratitude:

A doubtful life

And a fearful heart. ```

6651

```

Every day

His heart of faith

Expects the arrival

Of God’s Promise-Boat. ```

6652

```

Willingness-eye

Sees only one thing:

God’s Dream-Life

In His Reality-World. ```

6653

```

You must slow down

Your temptation-speed,

And tomorrow

You must totally stop it

Once and for all!

```

6654

```

He has failed so many times

In so many things

That his has now become

An aching life of despair. ```

6655

```

If you are doing anything

For God,

Then use your powerful life-arms

And your soulful heart-fingers. ```

6656

```

If you are not on time

For God’s appointed Hour,

Sadness

Shall be your permanent companion. ```

6657

```

Each ordinary life

Is a tiny thought-drop.

Each divine life

Is a mighty will-ocean. ```

6658

```

A pleasure-vital

Either consciously or unconsciously

Leads man to regret-world.

```

6659

```

Your ego-life

Will without fail

Be overcast

With Eternity’s frustration-clouds. ```

6660

```

God’s Victory-Clarion

Is for Eternity’s

Self-giving seeker-runner.

```

6661

```

He came into the world

Not to convince the world.

He came into the world

To inspire and love the world.

It is the task of the world

To see if his love and inspiration

Are genuine.

```

6662

```

God’s Glory-Lottery

Is always won

By the seeker’s aspiration-flames.

```

6663

```

O evening peace,

In you I see

The beauty and purity

Of the silence-night. ```

6664

```

Smile,

Because that is what God

Asks you to do.

The more you smile,

The sooner God’s Vision-Sky

Will be all yours. ```

6665

```

Nobody is worthy

Of God’s Compassion,

Still less

Of His Forgiveness. ```

6666

```

Stay at your heart-home

To respond to God’s Call.

If you are not there

To respond when He calls you,

Who knows if He will grant you

Another chance? ```

6667

```

Hold fast

To your surrender-heart,

Obedience-life

And perfection-cry. ```

6668

```

Man’s anxiety-filled world

Has destroyed his heart’s

Earth-feeding peace.

```

6669

```

If you daily walk

Through frustration-field,

You will suffer from

Perennial doubt-confusion. ```

6670

```

The noise of the desire-life

Will deafen a true God-lover,

Without fail.

```

6671

```

Do not criticise God!

He is doing everything He can

To perfect your nature

And make you really happy. ```

6672

```

Only after you have run

A hard race

Is God going to shower

His Satisfaction-Joy on you. ```

6673

```

An aspiration-country

Has no boundaries.

It always embodies

The message of the Beyond. ```

6674

```

There was a time

When I needed many things.

But now I need only one thing:

The sanctuary

Of my heart’s silence-truth.

```

6675

```

Every day when I pray

I feel the Presence

Of my Beloved Supreme

Inside the sweet Breath

Of His Divinity-Dawn.

```

6676

```

Only because of aspiration-rain

Love-seeds and sacrifice-seeds

Can sprout.

```

6677

```

There is no place on earth

As beautiful and as powerful

As the faith-filled heart-home.

```

6678

```

Pray and meditate soulfully

Plus regularly.

You will automatically get

The bumper crop

Of inner capacity.

```

6679

```

I do not need

Quite a few things

In my life.

But what I need least

Is the Bermuda Triangle

Of fear, doubt and suspicion. ```

6680

```

Alas, all your inner capacities

You have cremated

Inside the lethargy

Of your body-consciousness. ```

6681

```

Your heart’s long-burning

Patience-light

Will, without fail, deliver you

From the world’s ignorance-night. ```

6682

```

Why do you pay so much attention

To your mind-made depression?

Can you not pay attention

To your heart-created aspiration? ```

6683

```

Your self-admiration-life

Is the binding ugliness

Of nothingness.

```

6684

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do forgive me for the last time.

I shall never, never again enjoy

The long winter of distrust. ```

6685

```

You are a slave

To your doubt,

Yet you have an amazing appetite

For hope. ```

6686

```

If your mind is heavily populated

With thoughts,

God will not invite you

To participate

In His Perfection-Satisfaction-Feast.

```

6687

```

A self-admiration-life

Will never be able to enjoy

God’s Fulfilment-Feast.

```

6688

```

The darkness of the human mind

Has reached an unprecedented scale

In this twentieth century.

```

6689

```

You are forced to enter

The dark forest of sorrow

Because you deliberately refused

To become a God-tuned heart. ```

6690

```

Inside my throbbing heart

I see my Eternity’s Pilot Supreme

Singing and dancing

His Eternity’s Song and Dance. ```

6691

```

A seeker knows

That winning

Is as disheartening and disappointing

As losing,

If he does not cheerfully offer

The results

To his Inner Pilot.

```

6692

```

The rivers of your desire-mind

Have already inundated

The vast territory of your heart.

```

6693

```

His darkness-mind

He has cleverly buried

In humanity’s oblivion-cave.

```

6694

```

Your smiles dance

In all aspiring hearts.

Therefore

God will send you

A special silence-plane

To fly to His blue Heaven-Home. ```

6695

```

He who has no enthusiasm

Will never be able

To embrace God’s Vision-Beauty.

```

6696

```

You want to be well-educated

By your mind-teacher.

Yet you also want your aspiration-fire

Not to be reduced to ashes.

Indeed, an impossible task!

```

6697

```

It is your heart’s

Sleepless aspiration

That can build a bridge between

Your life’s earth-bound time

And

Your soul’s Heaven-free Eternity. ```

6698

```

You claim to be a God-lover,

Yet every day you find fault

With your God-Friend.

I simply do not know

How you can enjoy

This impossible challenge. ```

6699

```

How can you ever discover

A well-pleased God,

When your entire life has not become

A silence-filled mind? ```

6700

```

My Lord Supreme,

All along I have worshipped You

With words.

Now I shall worship You

With the flower-heart

Of my silence-breath. ```
