Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 72

7101

```

Do you want to know

What lies buried

Inside your heart?

God-Treasure, God-Treasure

And God-Treasure!

```

7102

```

My Lord lives

In today’s reality,

But I love to live

In tomorrow’s dream. ```

7103

```

Either you are carrying

Purity-weights,

Or impurity-weights

Are carrying you.

Dive deep within to see.

```

7104

```

Be willing to try

Again and again

So that you can see

The Beauty’s Dawn

Of God.

```

7105

```

If your heart grows

In the garden of faith,

You will not see

Even one single doubt-plant. ```

7106

```

Patience is running with you.

Patience is running for you.

Therefore, yours will be

The ultimate success-victory. ```

7107

```

My prayer-life

Feeds God soulfully.

My meditation-life

Is fed by God sumptuously. ```

7108

```

Do anything you want to

Except prevent God

From singing in and through you.

```

7109

```

What is the matter with you?

You cannot even say “Hello”

To God’s Forgiveness-Heart!

```

7110

```

I have decided to love

My yesterday’s cries,

My tomorrow’s smiles

And my day-after-tomorrow’s

Surrender.

```

7111

```

Your purity’s faith

Gloriously reflects

Your divinity’s heart.

```

7112

```

The mind has to listen

If the mind is to grow.

The heart has to listen

If the heart is to glow.

The life has to listen

If the life is to continue. ```

7113

```

Year after year

I am trying to become

A choice instrument of God.

Alas, every year

I see my aspiration-goal

Remains a far cry. ```

7114

```

Great things are never easy!

But good things are always easy,

For while doing good things

We get very special blessingful Concern

And fruitful Help

From our Lord Supreme. ```

7115

```

The question most frequently asked:

Does God really exist

Either in Heaven or on earth?

```

7116

```

Do not be a fool!

God’s compassionate Self-Giving

And your real needs

Will always go together. ```

7117

```

A soulful aspiration

Must always lead,

Without fail,

To a fruitful action. ```

7118

```

He is truly happy

Who has become the bridge

Between his heart’s love

And his life’s service. ```

7119

```

If you are longing

For perfection-peace,

Then you must turn your heart

Into an aspiration-flame. ```

7120

```

Every morning and evening

God helps you

Cross His Compassion-Bridge

To reach His other Shore,

The Shore of Perfection-Bliss.

```

7121

```

Tomorrow’s satisfaction

You will find today

If you just allow God

To bind you with His

Compassion-Enlightenment-Chain.

```

7122

```

It is now almost impossible

To revive your spiritual life,

For you have taken for years

An inferiority-impurity-overdose. ```

7123

```

The fruits

Of your mind’s stupidity

Are not only extremely bitter

But also poisonous. ```

7124

```

If you think

You are your eternal stupidity,

You must also realise

That God is His infinite Forgiveness. ```

7125

```

Receive God

With your soulful aspiration-heart.

Embrace God

With your powerful dedication-arms. ```

7126

```

Unless you understand the world,

How can you expect the world

To receive you unconditionally?

```

7127

```

Yours is the vital

That is enjoying vital-freedom.

Stop it!

Immediately stop it! ```

7128

```

Meditate soulfully,

And then meditate unconditionally.

Lo, satisfaction is yours!

```

7129

```

His heart-life is not only happy

But also perfect,

For he has totally reversed

The ugly, rising doubt-tide. ```

7130

```

If you only please

Your desire-life,

Who is going to please

Your God-ordained aspiration-life? ```

7131

```

God is within,

God is without,

God is beyond,

But never beyond discovery. ```

7132

```

In the morning

My Lord is

His loving Heart.

In the afternoon

My Lord is

His tearing Heart.

In the evening

My Lord is

His fulfilling Heart.

At night

My Lord and I are

Our dancing hearts.

```

7133

```

Yesterday God was his Lover.

Today God is his Admirer too.

Do you know why?

Just because he has been

Pleasing God sleeplessly.

```

7134

```

Be careful at every moment!

Do not allow despair

To take over your aspiration-life.

```

7135

```

Tomorrow will take care

Of your tomorrow’s fears.

Be a perfect friend

To your today’s joy. ```

7136

```

Stillness of the heart

Alone

Can cure the illness

Of the mind. ```

7137

```

You are not

Your tension-tortured life.

You are

Your God-pleasing,

Aspiration-discovered heart.

```

7138

```

He is idling away his life,

Yet he thinks

That he will be able to succeed

Without even trying. ```

7139

```

If you do not fulfil

Your life’s perfection-promise,

You will not be able to see

God’s transcendental Satisfaction-Smile. ```

7140

```

Your whole life

Is totally lost

In your mind’s

Unnecessary falsehood. ```

7141

```

God will give you

A sweet Smile

If you can offer Him

Two soulful eyes

And one prayerful heart.

```

7142

```

This world is full of

Peace-announcers.

This world does not have

Peace-finders. ```

7143

```

Every day

You learn the lesson

Taught by your soul

Inside your heart-garden. ```

7144

```

I am just learning

To think of God.

Therefore

Please do not expect

Anything spectacular

Either from my heart

Or from my life.

```

7145

```

Keep your heart’s standard

Always high.

Then, without fail,

You will see a peace-finder

Inside your aspiration-heart.

```

7146

```

A genuine prayer-life

And a genuine meditation-heart

Can easily draw from God

An abundance of God’s Blessings. ```

7147

```

You are

Your ego-extravagance.

I am trying to be

My heart’s surrender-permanence. ```

7148

```

If your mind

Is always riddled with impurity,

How can God show you

His golden Dream-Boat? ```

7149

```

I shall rise,

Although I have had

Many falls! ```

7150

```

I am now

An earthly-minded man.

I shall soon become

A Heavenly-hearted soul. ```

7151

```

His heart’s

Aspiration-purity

And his life’s

Dedication-beauty

Never dispute.

```

7152

```

His soul and God

Have given his heart

Permission to hear

Their conversation. ```

7153

```

Every day I conquer myself

Heroically

To please my Lord Supreme

In His own Way. ```

7154

```

A life of aspiration-dedication

Is a sure way

To Heaven’s Summit-Bliss.

```

7155

```

Unless you practise

How to wait,

You can never have

Peace of mind. ```

7156

```

He rules his mind

By serving the life

Of humanity.

```

7157

```

Lethargy,

I am not going to give up

Even a fleeting second

To please you. ```

7158

```

A heart of purity

Is indeed a citadel.

No undivine force

Can dare to challenge it. ```

7159

```

In the inner world

You will be found

A hopeless failure

In everything

If you do not aspire.

```

7160

```

God may at times sleep

Inside your mind,

But He never sleeps

Inside your heart.

There He always works.

```

7161

```

Recently my heart got a promotion.

Every day it sits with God

For Compassion

And with my soul

For guidance.

```

7162

```

God’s Justice and God’s Compassion

Always compete.

Needless to say,

His Compassion always wins the race. ```

7163

```

God’s Compassion

And God’s Forgiveness

Are never in short supply.

This is what my heart of aspiration

Has realised.

```

7164

```

How can you love God’s Vision-Eye

If you do not stop following

Your eyeless beggar-mind?

```

7165

```

Alas,

I do not know why

My aspiration, my dedication,

My surrender and my gratitude

Do not breathe

An everlasting breath. ```

7166

```

My life

Is my dedication to the heart.

My heart

Is my aspiration for Heaven. ```

7167

```

Your heart is homesick

For God the Peace.

Your soul is homesick

For God the Bliss.

Allow them to go back

To their respective homes. ```

7168

```

If you have a life of anxiety,

Then you desperately need

A life of meditation.

Your meditation-life

Will transform your anxiety-life

Into God’s God-manifested Delight. ```

7169

```

You can share your success

With anybody you want to,

But you must share your progress

Only with God. ```

7170

```

Do not doubt anybody.

Doubting is not the right thing.

Do not envy anybody.

Envy is an unpardonable thing. ```

7171

```

If you are not honest

With your present self,

How can you be honest

With your tomorrow’s highest Self:

God?

```

7172

```

Do not overlook

A trifling thought,

For it has the capacity

To bring you a stifling life. ```

7173

```

God the Eternal Now

Is always ready

To make you

His choice instrument. ```

7174

```

If you do not care

For changes in your life,

Your life-chains

Will not leave you. ```

7175

```

At long last

I have decided

To sing a God-song

Today. ```

7176

```

It is not a healthy experience

To accept thoughts

Produced by the doubting mind.

```

7177

```

Determination

Can change your mind.

Determination

Can change your heart.

Determination

Can change your life

Altogether.

```

7178

```

You alone can create

Your heart’s permanent paradise.

Just try!

You will see that I am correct. ```

7179

```

Inside your heart

Your consciousness-sea

Is always there

For you to swim in. ```

7180

```

Faith

Makes life lovable.

Surrender

Makes life enjoyable.

Gratitude

Makes life fruitful. ```

7181

```

The time is overdue for me

Not only to become

A perfect instrument of God,

But also to please God

In His own Way.

```

7182

```

Meditate every day

Soulfully and unconditionally.

Otherwise you will experience

The unexpected collapse

Of your aspiration-tower.

```

7183

```

God tells the world

That a self-giving purity-heart

Is perfect enough for God.

```

7184

```

If you want quick results

In your spiritual life,

Then allow not

Even an iota of doubt

Into your mind.

```

7185

```

Life gave him joy,

For he saw God within.

Death gave him peace,

For he saw God within. ```

7186

```

My Lord, if it is true

That I cannot please You,

Can You not please me

By excusing my ego-excess? ```

7187

```

If you do not aspire

For something infinitely higher

Than what you are aspiring for now,

Then how can you expect God

To beat your victory-drum?

```

7188

```

My heart is smashing!

Do you know what?

It is smashing all insecurity-barriers.

My mind is breaking!

Do you know what?

It is breaking all doubt-barriers.

```

7189

```

Your heart has recorded

Your life’s love-messages

To God

Again and again and again

To give you boundless joy.

```

7190

```

You have lost

In the battlefield of life.

Why do you blame others?

Do not blame even yourself.

Just aspire, do the right thing!

You will, without fail, win

In the battlefield of life.

```

7191

```

When are you going to recognise

That your life’s heart-plane

Is unbelievably behind schedule?

```

7192

```

Let not death

Weigh upon you indefinitely.

Go and make friends

With the blue bird

Inside your golden heart-cage.

```

7193

```

Alas,

His mind is now

Mercilessly caught

In an old doubt-machine. ```

7194

```

A sincere seeker is he

Who can prove to the world

That God-realisation

Is not an impossible task. ```

7195

```

His entire life

Has become

A perfectly God-controlled

Journey. ```

7196

```

To be divine

Is to sail your life-boat

Speedily.

To be human

Is to fail in your life-examination

Miserably.

```

7197

```

How can his fabricated

Perfection-life

Help him to be

A liberated soul? ```

7198

```

Never carelessly throw away

Your God-given aspiration-light,

For aspiration-light

Is God’s boundless Pride. ```

7199

```

Put your heart

Before your mind.

Similarly, aspire

Before you want to become. ```

7200

```

I do not know

How you discovered God.

In my case

I discovered God

Only with my heart’s

Sleepless gratitude. ```
