Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 87

8601

```

Are You there, God?

Would You mind coming over to me

With Your Compassion-Eye

And Your Forgiveness-Heart? ```

8602

```

Wisdom does want to live

In the house of ignorance,

But it is ignorance

That does not want wisdom. ```

8603

```

You do not have to give God

Either your best or your worst.

Just give Him

What you eternally are:

A Heaven-climbing cry.

```

8604

```

You can easily be

At the eternal gate

Of the immortal Self.

Just do not cling

To earth-shore.

```

8605

```

The gospel of love

Is meant to show

Neither what God has

Nor what God is,

But to tell the world

That God is all for you. ```

8606

```

Only a constantly self-giving

God-lover

Will be known as a God-giver.

```

8607

```

What the world has:

A giant mind of war.

What the world needs:

A tiny drop of oneness-peace. ```

8608

```

Because you have a soulless heart,

You are unable to obey

Your compassionate Inner Pilot.

```

8609

```

Why delay any longer

Since you know perfectly well

That you will be obliged

To manifest God on earth

In His own Way?

```

8610

```

There is no difference

Between a desire-bound life

And a futile funeral pyre.

```

8611

```

I love God

For what He has for me:

Infinity.

God loves me

For what I am to Him:

A constant necessity. ```

8612

```

Tell the world what you know

About God’s Compassion-Eye.

Your heart will be flooded

With delight. ```

8613

```

Alas,

God has not given me

The capacity to endure

Heaven’s incurable indifference. ```

8614

```

If you are not ready to run

With your Inner Pilot,

Then the lower worlds

Will force you to walk

With death.

```

8615

```

What I want

More than anything else

Is a heart

That will eventually become

God’s beautiful angel-messenger.

```

8616

```

I feel extremely sorry

For you,

For your self-discovery

Is extremely insufficient. ```

8617

```

Each small good thought

Is nothing other than

A miniature divinity.

```

8618

```

What he has

Is a world of peace

Inside the heart

Of a God-Smile. ```

8619

```

A chosen instrument of God

Is always a good starter

And winner

In the Godward race. ```

8620

```

Your sleepless aspiration

Is your most authentic passport

To enter into Immortality’s Land.

```

8621

```

In a limited human way

A seeker-heart can enjoy

The unlimited beauty

Of God the creation. ```

8622

```

Unless the body

Becomes a willing servitor

Of the soul,

One cannot manifest

One’s Inner Pilot

On earth. ```

8623

```

The doubting mind

Knows what night is.

The aspiring heart

Sees the moonlit night. ```

8624

```

He has made

His unconditional surrender

To his Lord Supreme.

This is the secret sweetness

That he has started breathing.

```

8625

```

You are of God,

You are for God.

If you can remember this

Sleeplessly,

Yours will be

A tremendous progress-jump. ```

8626

```

O true God-lovers,

Come and join together

And build a road

For God’s Peace-Descent. ```

8627

```

Alas,

His aspiration-heart lives

Between his audacious mind

And his ferocious vital! ```

8628

```

You have given up

Your aspiration-life.

That means

You no longer want to see

The Infinite

In the heart of the finite. ```

8629

```

If you linger,

You will lose God.

I tell you,

Definitely God does not want

To lose you!

```

8630

```

When ancient dreams invade you,

Be happy to be

In their sweet company.

```

8631

```

His heart’s deep yearning

Is the only thing

He sleeplessly and deathlessly

Enjoys. ```

8632

```

Increase your love of God

Every day.

Your great relish for worldliness

Will soon disappear. ```

8633

```

Every day

Your heart’s faith-bird

Must fly far above

Your mind’s teeming clouds. ```

8634

```

His heart’s oneness-cry

Left an everlasting mark

Here in the soil

Of aspiring earth. ```

8635

```

You and your life

Are under no obligation

To be mercilessly caught

By the web of your mind’s questions. ```

8636

```

He is beautiful

Within and without

By virtue of his silver faith

In his Inner Pilot. ```

8637

```

Each soul comes into being

To enjoy a pilgrimage

To the Unknowable.

```

8638

```

If you can catch

Even a glimpse of the Truth,

Yours will be a life

Of genuine satisfaction. ```

8639

```

O Vastness-Blue,

My mind tells me

You are unreachable,

But my heart tells me

You are not only reachable

But also available. ```

8640

```

Your mind knows more

Than it is supposed to know.

Your heart does not feel

What it is supposed to feel. ```

8641

```

Man’s aspiration

Is God’s own Progress

In and through man.

```

8642

```

God and God’s Consciousness

Enjoy their marathon

Satisfaction-Conversation

Every day. ```

8643

```

You have forgotten

To love God,

But God has not forgotten

To forgive you. ```

8644

```

I pray to God

To give me another chance.

God tells me

That it is all done,

But I shall have to wait

Another aeon

For my life’s perfection.

```

8645

```

The human mind is no better

Than a marketplace

Of uncomely thoughts.

```

8646

```

When the mind climbs,

It usually climbs

An unsafe stairway.

```

8647

```

Good thoughts

Must not be the inhabitants

Of the world’s eyeless abyss.

```

8648

```

What I want to see

And will always want to see

Is the dance

Of God-intoxicated souls. ```

8649

```

So frequently I am lost

Between my mind’s abyss

And my heart’s summit!

```

8650

```

My soul’s smile

And time’s cry

Were together born.

```

8651

```

If you are a God-lover,

How can you live

Inside the sea

Of your mind’s doubt-incertitude? ```

8652

```

The soul’s silence-life

Has become

His mind’s real name.

```

8653

```

No difference

Between your aspiration-heart’s

Streaming tears

And your dedication-life’s

Gleaming cheers.

```

8654

```

Only a purity-heart

Knows how to cry

The cry of God’s

Victory-Delight. ```

8655

```

O song-river,

Do make my heart

Your Eternity’s compassion-comrade.

```

8656

```

Smilingly

My mind shall run

Towards God.

Directly

My heart shall run

Towards God.

Sleeplessly

My life shall run

Towards God.

```

8657

```

If God does not win His Victory

In and through me,

Then God will, like me,

Be another failure. ```

8658

```

Once you start singing

Your heart’s surrender-song,

Do not stop!

```

8659

```

Do not delay!

Use your soul’s

Indomitable will-power

To destroy your mind’s

Mountain-problems.

```

8660

```

I serve God

Not because God loves me.

I serve God

Not because God needs me.

I serve God

Because my existence

Has no existence

Without God’s Existence in it. ```

8661

```

A life that has no life-energy

Daily meets serious tragedies.

A life that has life-energy

Is the complete song

Of God’s Satisfaction-Ecstasy.

```

8662

```

Delight

Is God-Eternity’s

Infinity-Fulfilment.

```

8663

```

If you are your soul-power,

God Himself will build

Your victory-tower.

```

8664

```

God loves to play

His Beauty’s Game

In earth-clay,

For earth-clay. ```

8665

```

An innocence-heart

Is blessed

With God’s Satisfaction-Smile

On earth. ```

8666

```

The rising of the sun

Tells me where to go.

The setting of the sun

Tells me where I eternally am. ```

8667

```

The secret heart

Of Heaven

Is the sacred life

Of earth. ```

8668

```

His eyes of smile

Reveal the heart-love

Of all the ages.

```

8669

```

Advance, advance

To the inmost core

Of your soul’s radiance!

```

8670

```

God grants a true God-lover

The rare right

To eternal peace.

```

8671

```

Allow not your vital-horse

To frighten

Your heart-bird.

```

8672

```

God has given you

The chance to choose

The outer power

Or the inner peace. ```

8673

```

What I want to know from you

Is this:

Are you still interested

In God-realisation? ```

8674

```

He cannot separate

His mind

From its frustration-desert.

```

8675

```

Are you so deaf

That you cannot hear

God’s compassionate

Inner Thunder? ```

8676

```

To touch the world-heart,

Give your life

To God’s all-seeing Will.

```

8677

```

Just love the higher life more.

The lower life

Will automatically shun you.

```

8678

```

A self-giving heart

Is a giant step

To life-perfection.

```

8679

```

God the Oneness-Producer

Commutes every day

Between

My dry mind

And

My fertile heart. ```

8680

```

In God’s cosmic Waiting Room

An unaspiring man

Endlessly and fruitlessly stays.

```

8681

```

His mind’s purity-thoughts

Have built a fortress

For his aspiration-heart.

```

8682

```

Climb to a higher life!

You are not

Your helpless heart.

You are not

Your useless mind.

```

8683

```

Since you have outgrown

Your need for God,

God is going to rely on others

From now on. ```

8684

```

Like other things,

Discard your list

Of grievances.

Discard your self-styled

Importance.

```

8685

```

If you are unfaithful

In thought,

How can your life be fruitful

In God? ```

8686

```

Every day

He enjoys the divine majesty

Of meditation,

And every day

He enjoys the funeral

Of his desire-life. ```

8687

```

Every day your aspiration-heart

Can be a new morning

In God’s self-unfolding new world.

```

8688

```

Every day

His mind is ruthlessly imprisoned

By the strong desire

For constant change. ```

8689

```

In pursuit of perfection,

He turned his entire life

Into a willing and self-giving service.

```

8690

```

Consciously

You are prolonging the human life.

Unconsciously

You are delaying the divine life. ```

8691

```

If I had waited another day

For my spiritual life,

I would have been devoured

By this time

By the ferocious ignorance-tiger.

```

8692

```

Do not try to fool God.

No good seeker will do that.

Do not try to fool God.

He can easily silence

Your clever tongue.

```

8693

```

When the world laughs at me,

God sings not only in me

But also for me.

```

8694

```

A suspicion-mind

Knows well

The art of continuation.

```

8695

```

In the inner world

Peace-bell has been ringing

In every nation-heart

From time immemorial. ```

8696

```

With God’s Grace

We begin.

With God’s Encouragement

We continue. ```

8697

```

Yours is the service-path

That leads to

Purity’s oneness-heart.

```

8698

```

Each truth-seeker and God-lover

Will be put to

The obedience-test.

```

8699

```

To see God’s Forgiveness-Heart,

His heart of aspiration climbed

To a measureless and breathless

Summit. ```

8700

```

He who lives within my heart

Does not have to remain unseen.

He can be seen,

He can be revealed,

He can be manifested

In perfect bliss. ```
