Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 75

7401

```

With a single surrender-step

He reached

God’s Satisfaction-Palace.

```

7402

```

Because you have

A purity-heart,

Nobody can force you to have

A life barren of beauty. ```

7403

```

God’s Heart-Boat

Always has room

For more passengers.

```

7404

```

The trickery of the mind

Never wins

Life’s lottery.

```

7405

```

A dedication-hand

Has the master key

To life’s mystery-rooms.

```

7406

```

Live with God’s

Aspiration-Boons

And not with man’s

Temptation-gifts. ```

7407

```

To save

The dying humanity,

What price

Is your heart ready to pay? ```

7408

```

God’s Satisfaction-Smile grows

Only in the soil

Of humanity’s oneness-heart.

```

7409

```

You have only one thing

To do:

Resurrect

Your buried aspiration-heart! ```

7410

```

No problem

Can dare to claim

An everlasting breath.

```

7411

```

I give

So that I can live.

I live

So that I can become perfect. ```

7412

```

Death

Is leaving my life

Because aspiration

Is calling my heart. ```

7413

```

Serve.

You will know how to survive.

Survive.

You will know how to thrive. ```

7414

```

The human mind is so weak

That in a fleeting second

It can seriously be affected

By the dangerous doubt-disease. ```

7415

```

Now that you have forgotten

How to display,

God is going to teach you

How to play

His Oneness-Game.

```

7416

```

Do not postpone

Your God-appointments.

Your God-oneness-soul

Will never forgive you. ```

7417

```

Alas,

He is totally lost

Between his heart’s need

And his mind’s greed. ```

7418

```

You have come to God

With your curiosity-mind.

God is giving you

His Divinity’s Luminosity-Heart. ```

7419

```

As possibility

Cannot be exhausted,

Even so, inevitability

Cannot be annihilated. ```

7420

```

No crying and climbing prayer-letters

From your heart

Will come back from Heaven

Unanswered. ```

7421

```

Peace you want

In your heart?

Then pray for silence

In your mind. ```

7422

```

Although your mind

Has given up the sunlit path,

The heart of the sunlit path

Has not given up on your mind. ```

7423

```

Not how you sing

But for Whom you sing

Is of supreme importance.

```

7424

```

God helped my heart

To soar.

I helped my mind

To sink. ```

7425

```

Forget not

Daily to count

The God-blessed, teeming miracles

In your dedication-life. ```

7426

```

An invincible determination-hero:

This is what

His aspiration-heart is.

```

7427

```

A new sun

Is for a new heart.

A new day

Is for a new life. ```

7428

```

Believe it or not,

Every day

My Beloved Supreme gives me

His Vision-Kite to fly. ```

7429

```

A self-seeking mind

Cannot fathom

A God-discovery-heart.

```

7430

```

Man wants your mind.

Be careful, you and your mind.

God needs your heart.

Be ready, you and your heart. ```

7431

```

Alas, I do not know why

I am spending so much time

With my mind-enemy.

```

7432

```

Expectation:

That is human.

Frustration:

That is not even human. ```

7433

```

He is unimaginably fluent

In God’s transcendental Language:

Satisfaction.

```

7434

```

Indeed,

It is a fruitful thing

To collect your golden dreams.

```

7435

```

Without God’s Grace

If you want to run

Faster and faster,

You will meet with one disaster

After another.

```

7436

```

God wants to teach my heart

How to speak.

My mind wants to teach God

How to remain silent. ```

7437

```

You do not know

What to do?

Then practise, at least,

How to wait. ```

7438

```

God commands

My stupidity-mind.

God wants my purity-heart

To command Him. ```

7439

```

Are you so stupid

To think that you are

Your yesterday’s

Puny failure-life? ```

7440

```

You have decided

Not to take a chance.

God does not approve

Of your hasty decision. ```

7441

```

My mind wants me

To be careful.

My heart wants me

To be soulful.

My Lord wants me

To be fruitful. ```

7442

```

A surrender-heart knows

That there is nothing

Difficult for it to achieve.

```

7443

```

You wanted to still your mind.

God has done it for you.

God wants to be fulfilled.

Can you not do it for Him? ```

7444

```

Your business

Is to take the first step.

God’s Business

Is to grant you a fast step. ```

7445

```

A man of purity

Enjoys free transportation

To God’s Palace

In God’s own Bus,

Driven by God Himself.

```

7446

```

God came,

But I forgot

To kiss His Compassion-Feet.

```

7447

```

One thing

I should not have said:

“I do not need

Any human being.” ```

7448

```

There is no difference

Between a frustration-lover

And a destruction-monger.

```

7449

```

Aspiration,

Still you are my boss,

Although

I have far surpassed you. ```

7450

```

Possessors

Of earthly ability

Are quite often unaware

Of Heavenly possibilities. ```

7451

```

Poor jealousy

Is forced to hear everything,

Although it does not want to.

```

7452

```

It is quite proper that God,

Being the Creator,

Has the right to be fully in charge

Of His creation. ```

7453

```

If you know

How to disobey,

Then God also knows

How to forgive. ```

7454

```

Disdain your pain!

Your earth-chains

Will without fail

Disappear. ```

7455

```

Your faith-boat

Will definitely take you

To your and God’s

Satisfaction-Shore. ```

7456

```

God already has your heart,

The original.

He does not need your mind,

The carbon copy. ```

7457

```

Not God’s Justice-Hand

But His Compassion-Heart

Wants to discover

My mind’s hiding place. ```

7458

```

Who has told you

That you are under an obligation

To love your self-doubt?

```

7459

```

The searching mind’s

Favourite acceptance-songs

Are extremely challenging

And illumining. ```

7460

```

God-Day does not want you

To make friends

With death-night.

```

7461

```

His aspiration-credentials

Are all hidden

By his treacherous mind.

```

7462

```

Doubt’s eventual destruction

Is an oft-quoted story

In the spiritual life.

```

7463

```

Be conscious of the fact

That God has kept everything for you

Inside His Heart-Safe

For you to use

At His choice Hour.

```

7464

```

God loves you.

But do you love Him?

“No!”

Do you need Him?

“No!”

Do you even want Him?

“No!”

```

7465

```

I love God

Because He is perfect.

God loves me

Because I am not jealous

Of His Perfection.

```

7466

```

God wants you to fly

Like your soul.

You want God to be bound

Like your body. ```

7467

```

As God has given your soul

The capacity to fly,

Even so, He has given your heart

The rare capacity to cry. ```

7468

```

Because you live

In the garden of selflessness,

God the Gardener is coming to you

In His Infinity’s Fulness. ```

7469

```

Your vagabond-prayers

And your frustration-mind

Live in the room

Of nothingness. ```

7470

```

Your heart does have

The capacity

To step into tomorrow’s

Dire challenge. ```

7471

```

Your mind wants to reach

A roaring shore.

Your heart wants to reach

A smiling shore. ```

7472

```

His soul immediately

Came up to him

On hearing that

His heart was missing,

To help him search

For his missing heart. ```

7473

```

Do not play alone!

Your best Friend, God,

Does not like

Your isolation-game. ```

7474

```

Because

You trust clouds,

Sunshine

Does not trust you. ```

7475

```

You have failed

Because your heart has not cried.

You have failed

Because your mind has not tried.

You have failed

Because your life does not need God. ```

7476

```

Desires are truly fulfilled

Only when

They are perfectly transcended.

```

7477

```

Every day

You must practise humility

And fold your proud hands

In Heaven-climbing prayers. ```

7478

```

O my mind,

Do not be afraid

Of the outer bondage.

O my heart,

Do not be afraid

Of the inner freedom.

```

7479

```

My mind,

You must not blame anybody else

For your untold suffering

From your self-chosen

Responsibility-loads.

```

7480

```

Long before I proclaim

God’s Victory over my mind,

He claims my life.

```

7481

```

How can you see

God’s all-pervading smiling Face

Before you have given Him

Your loving heart? ```

7482

```

How can you ever fail

When your heart wants to try

Again and again?

```

7483

```

Are you hungry

For only favourable news from God,

Or are you hungry

For any news from God? ```

7484

```

Your miserable past

Wants you to surrender to it.

For God’s sake, do not!

```

7485

```

It is the mind

And not the heart

That is disturbed

When any soul comes

Uninvited.

```

7486

```

Who has manufactured

Your life-problems?

You alone!

Who is now cherishing them?

You alone!

```

7487

```

Your mind is telling

The same old baseless story:

God does not love you,

Yet you love Him. ```

7488

```

Suspicion is the mind’s

Invention.

Forgiveness has to be the heart’s

Discovery. ```

7489

```

The smile of your self-giving

Inspires God

To dance for you.

```

7490

```

From the quick inspiration

To the strong aspiration

Is a very short distance.

```

7491

```

Two things you daily need:

Mental disarmament

And

Psychic armament. ```

7492

```

Sincerity tells you

What to do.

Purity shows you

How to do.

Divinity does not tell or show;

It just does everything

For you.

```

7493

```

My Lord,

This time I can give You

Only my frustration.

When You come next time,

I shall give You

My aspiration. ```

7494

```

Today

I shall call my God

My ignorance-overlooker.

Tomorrow

I shall call my God

My illumination-giver. ```

7495

```

The world suspects you

Because

You have not loved the world

According to your heart’s capacity. ```

7496

```

Truth may be bitter at times

While you are practising it.

But it is always sweet

While you are offering it to others. ```

7497

```

Not only a purity-heart

But also a serenity-mind

Has the rare capacity to take

Peace-breathing exercises. ```

7498

```

While you were away

With your mind,

God came and left a message

With your heart

To call Him as soon as you come back.

```

7499

```

Only your aspiration-voice

Is entitled

To the greatest choice.

```

7500

```

Each heart knows

How to dream of fulness-beauty

Within God’s God-Reality.
