Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 86

8501

```

There is only one way:

You have to love God only

In God’s own Way.

```

8502

```

The body-world

Likes to be free

From the domination

Of lethargy-monarch. ```

8503

```

His mind is never ready

To accept the kind invitation

Of truth.

```

8504

```

In the soul’s world

There are no long-distance calls.

There are only short-distance calls.

```

8505

```

Life’s imperfection-plate

Has always been

Strikingly full.

```

8506

```

The doubt-speaker powerfully speaks

Everywhere,

Even in faith-conference.

```

8507

```

A life of temptation

Will eventually be forced

To bear the frustration-flag.

```

8508

```

Aspire within, aspire without

At every moment.

Otherwise, your mind will be

Nothing other than

A fire-storm of doubt.

```

8509

```

Desire and temptation

Are two different things

Only in name.

In reality they are one. ```

8510

```

A life of success

Quite often cannot be separated

From blindness-pride.

```

8511

```

A life of indulgence

Will, without fail,

Have sad side-effects.

```

8512

```

In life’s circus

It is usually the vital

That plays the role

Of the clown. ```

8513

```

Turn your wishful thoughts

Into a powerful

Will-power.

```

8514

```

Every day you must allow wisdom

To enter into your mind-room

Without any obstruction.

```

8515

```

Can you not see

That your mind’s willingness-licence

Has expired long ago?

```

8516

```

Jump with your body, vital,

Mind, heart and soul

Into the river of enthusiasm-life

To please powerfully

Your Inner Pilot.

```

8517

```

The sweet hope of the heart

Has been orphaned

By the mind’s indifference-night.

```

8518

```

Why have you allowed your mind

To be swallowed

By endless misgivings?

```

8519

```

Yours is the life

With a lifelong dose

Of fear, anxiety and impurity.

```

8520

```

The mind-boat is fond of sailing

In the ignorance-sea

Of birthless and deathless questions.

```

8521

```

The smile of man’s life

Always helps

God’s Vision-Camera.

```

8522

```

You can unlearn

Many things in life,

But not the art of aspiration.

```

8523

```

God’s Dream-Kingdom

Is only for those

Who want to live

Inside the heart

Of perfection-reality.

```

8524

```

If your heart kneels,

Then only can you have

A towering life.

```

8525

```

If you do not obey

The whispering of your soul,

Yours will be a life

Of bitter frustrations. ```

8526

```

Have the mind

That swiftly moves towards God.

Have the heart

That powerfully proceeds towards God.

Have the life

That unmistakably runs towards God. ```

8527

```

You must not allow your mind

To squander your heart’s life,

The life of the Beyond.

```

8528

```

To live inside

An aspiration-heart

Is to live in

God’s favourite clime. ```

8529

```

Whenever you want to run

In the inner world,

Rest assured,

God Himself will sponsor the race. ```

8530

```

Every day make it a point

To see your aspiration-bird

Flying in your realisation-sky.

```

8531

```

Without the sincerity-ticket,

You will not be allowed

To fly in the delight-plane.

```

8532

```

It is not unnatural

For the human mind to ruin

The purity of the heart

With its impurity-ink. ```

8533

```

If you are making progress,

Then you must feel your progress

Is God’s stupendous Satisfaction

In you. ```

8534

```

You are a voracious eater

Of desire-food.

Therefore, you can never be

A precious citizen of the world. ```

8535

```

Each new day

Is the harbinger

Of a new dream:

Man’s aspiration-heart. ```

8536

```

You want to be an instant winner.

There is only one way:

Surrender your willingness

And your fulness

Together

To the Will of the Supreme. ```

8537

```

My soul has kept a secret

For a long time:

God is extremely proud of me.

```

8538

```

True, many have tried

And many have failed.

But that does not mean

That you have to surrender

To failure.

```

8539

```

Your life has to be

A birthless and deathless

Aspiration-adventure.

```

8540

```

Good morning, God!

This time, can You not stay

For a longer time

Within me, around me and before me? ```

8541

```

You will never be a loser

If you allow your ever-present Friend,

God,

To play with you every day. ```

8542

```

I do not have to see

Your God-identification-card.

What I want to see

Is your heart’s spontaneous surrender

To God’s immortal Will.

```

8543

```

Peace-pilgrim passed by you.

Alas,

Even now you are in the world

Of useless restlessness. ```

8544

```

Each divine thought

That comes to you

Will come to you, without fail,

Like the sunrise. ```

8545

```

No human being can ever claim

My heart,

For it has already been claimed

And reclaimed

By my Lord Supreme.

```

8546

```

He has always supported

His stupid mind,

And thus he has lost

The purity-sea of his heart. ```

8547

```

If you do not build

Your own delight-home,

Nobody will ever build you one.

```

8548

```

God Himself applauds

Each and every time He watches

Man’s self-offering-performances.

```

8549

```

My heart bleeds

For God’s Forgiveness.

My life lives

For God’s Satisfaction. ```

8550

```

Your life may not or cannot

Tell you who you are,

But you can tell your life

That you are only

Of God and for God.

```

8551

```

One mistake is enough

To totally ruin

The rest of your most precious life.

```

8552

```

My favourite fantasy

Is to see God play

In my heart’s gratitude-garden.

```

8553

```

If you are reluctant

To love God’s creation,

Then why should God destroy

Your life’s ignorance-night? ```

8554

```

He who has not read

God’s Guide to the aspiration-life

Will have a failure-life.

```

8555

```

Because yesterday had no power,

You cannot say that today also

Will have no power.

Who knows?

Tomorrow’s power-life may fulfil God

In and through today’s heart. ```

8556

```

If you want to inspire

The outer world,

Secretly aspire

In the inner world. ```

8557

```

If you want to become

A little better each day,

Then every day imagine

That smilingly you are climbing

Your life-tree.

```

8558

```

Alas, if I could start my life

All over again,

I would never look at the face

Of ignorance-prince. ```

8559

```

Unless you try

To do the right thing

And always pray to God

To do the right thing

In and through you,

You may never become successful

In the inner world.

```

8560

```

God will record

Your great achievements.

Do not take away God’s job!

```

8561

```

There are a million excuses

For saying no to God’s

Compassion-Requests.

But will God ever change His Will

To please you in your own way?

```

8562

```

Peace-meditation can

Not only annihilate

Your mind’s restlessness

But also liberate your life

From desire-night.

```

8563

```

An aspiration-heart

Is God’s

Beauty-loving Satisfaction-Home.

```

8564

```

Every day you must enjoy

The nectar-delight

Of your surrender-life.

```

8565

```

If you stir up the dust

Of the past,

You will be found

Inside the very jaws

Of a ferocious tiger.

```

8566

```

Incapacity comes from idleness.

Idleness is the acceptance

Of death’s invitation.

```

8567

```

Keep your mind under control.

Then nothing will be missing

In your God-blessed life.

```

8568

```

There is only one solution

To your mind’s impurity-problem:

Try to remain always

In your purity-flooded heart. ```

8569

```

Everything

Will pass away from you

Save and except

God’s Compassion-Eye. ```

8570

```

To free yourself from the finite,

Enjoy serving the soul:

God’s representative on earth.

```

8571

```

Let the future sleep!

Let the present teach you

How you can see God

And become another God. ```

8572

```

To sit

On ignorance-throne

Is to climb down

Into useless futility. ```

8573

```

A reasoning mind

Is eventually found

In a dark prison cell.

```

8574

```

If you are longing

For the unknown summits,

You should be always ready to execute

The message of the inner soul. ```

8575

```

My Lord,

May my aspiration-heart

And my surrender-life

Be forever united

And remain forever inseparable.

```

8576

```

At every moment

You are being awakened

By the Touch of God.

Alas,

Always you fall back

Into your ignorance-sleep. ```

8577

```

Each soulful thought

Is a flame

That illumines the human

In the divine. ```

8578

```

Nothing can remain far beyond

Our eager reach

If we surrender our way

To God’s Way. ```

8579

```

His is the heart

That has been commissioned by God

To bloom every day

At the Feet of God. ```

8580

```

The day I proclaimed

My life’s dependence on God,

He immediately granted me

His own transcendental Independence. ```

8581

```

If God could create

Immortal Delight,

I thought I, too, could create

Something.

Alas, I immediately created

Ignorance-night. ```

8582

```

When I look within,

I see my enlightenment-tree.

When I look without,

I see my amusement-zoo. ```

8583

```

Imperfection, imperfection,

Once and for all

I am telling you,

I was born to arrive

At the acme of perfection.

```

8584

```

Every day

When you meditate,

Try to feel that your life

Is in your heart’s fragrance-garden. ```

8585

```

You fool!

God the Compassion-Heart

Does value

Your gratitude-heart. ```

8586

```

Begin again!

Human life is not to be surrendered

To the power of ignorance-frown.

Human life is for God

To cherish.

```

8587

```

My heart implores

God’s Perfection-Eye.

My life implores

God’s Forgiveness-Heart. ```

8588

```

Your faith is frail.

Therefore, you are bound to fail

Both in your aspiration-heart

And in your dedication-life. ```

8589

```

Your gratitude-heart

Is a distinguished guest

At God’s Satisfaction-Banquet.

```

8590

```

Nobody has forced you

And nobody will ever be able to force you

To swim in your mind’s

Pollution-river. ```

8591

```

Do not allow yourself

To be trampled constantly

By the feet of doubt and fear!

```

8592

```

If you want to proclaim

The victory of your inner peace,

Then you have to become

The conqueror of your outer unrest. ```

8593

```

Progress-train is passing by.

Delay not!

Jump into it

And become a safe passenger. ```

8594

```

Each soul-bird

Enjoys singing sleeplessly

Unseen.

```

8595

```

God the Compassion-Champion

Will never stop playing with me

Until He has made me

His perfection-companion. ```

8596

```

As your desire-life

Is so dear to you,

Even so, God’s Compassion-Heart

Is dear to Him. ```

8597

```

Today

You are wasting time.

Tomorrow

You will be forced to taste

Your life’s failure-frustration.

```

8598

```

The heart has to learn

The art of giving.

The life has to learn

The art of receiving. ```

8599

```

God’s Compassion-Credo

Is for those

Who need it

And not only for those

Who deserve it.

```

8600

```

Each aspiring heart

Dreams only of the One

Who is Eternity’s and Infinity’s Love.
