Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 89

8801

```

In my case

I did want to sprint

All the way

To God’s highest Abode.

In my case

God did help me

Unconditionally

To fulfil my heart’s aspiration-cry. ```

8802

```

If you wait for opportunities

To become easily available,

Then you will never be able

To succeed in life. ```

8803

```

He has turned his life into

A wave of anticipation.

Therefore

His heart is all suffering. ```

8804

```

God does not want you

To be a mind-orator.

He wants you

To be a heart-giver. ```

8805

```

God is not interested

In knowing your outer weaknesses.

He is not interested

Even in your inner weaknesses.

He is only interested

In your outer and inner

Oneness with Him.

```

8806

```

God is not asking me

To run after something new.

He is only asking me

To follow the Eternal. ```

8807

```

You are looking for a guardian

For your thoughts.

Can you not see your soul

Eagerly waiting

For that task supreme?

```

8808

```

God is not asking you

To be a prostrate worshipper

But a oneness-lover.

```

8809

```

The torture of indecision

Has shattered his unaspiring mind

And, alas,

Even his aspiring heart. ```

8810

```

I always see a cloud

Looming large on the horizon

Of his doubting mind.

```

8811

```

Every morning I tell my Lord Supreme

The secret story of my happiness.

Every evening I tell my Lord Supreme

The sacred story of my sorrow. ```

8812

```

God the Smiler

Sleeplessly looks for

His Eternity’s friend,

Man the crier. ```

8813

```

Every day try to walk

Along the avenue

Of your heart’s soulful experiences.

This is how you and your fellow seekers

Should campaign

Against ignorance-night. ```

8814

```

Because he is now growing

Ingratitude-plant

Inside his heart,

I see the black shadows

Of a total failure-life

Falling on his life’s

Aspiration-dedication-road.

```

8815

```

There should not be

A single day

When you do not ignore

Your mind’s fruitless

Ignorance-threats.

```

8816

```

From time immemorial

His aspiration-life

Has been living inside

God’s Compassion-Ocean. ```

8817

```

No, I do not want to become

A professional peace-lover

Of man.

I want to be

An unconditional peace-lover

Of God. ```

8818

```

If you want to enlighten

Your aspiration-heart

And dedication-life,

Then awaken

Your drowsy mind.

```

8819

```

For the best success,

Consult your illumining mind.

For the best progress,

Consult your liberated heart.

For the best satisfaction,

Consult your compassionate

Inner Pilot Supreme.

```

8820

```

If God can be peaceful

In spite of having

Countless problems every day,

How is it that

I cannot remain peaceful

Even for a fleeting second? ```

8821

```

If you have no time

For truth-seeking,

How can you see

A man-loving God? ```

8822

```

Alas, my human heart

Is not magnanimous enough

To establish its oneness

With another’s victory-delight. ```

8823

```

Unless you become totally

A man for God,

How can you unmistakably be

A man of God? ```

8824

```

You want to fulfil

Your desires?

Then you have to do it

All at your own risk. ```

8825

```

Why are you such a fool?

Can you not see

That you have most strikingly

Outgrown

Your own desire-life?

```

8826

```

Now that every day

I eat gratitude-fruits,

My life will not remain

The same unfulfilled hunger. ```

8827

```

You are asking God

For what you already have:

Your heart’s unconditional

Oneness-surrender

To God’s Will.

```

8828

```

You fool!

You ask your mind

To speak to your heart

About the supreme necessity

Of God.

```

8829

```

When we make

An unconditional surrender

To God’s Will,

We live in God’s Sweetness,

Fondness and Oneness-Clime.

```

8830

```

As long as God wants me

To sponsor His inner race,

I shall be more than willing

To satisfy Him

No matter how few participants

I get for the race. ```

8831

```

When I was rowing

My own boat,

I was watched

By only one spectator:

My frustration.

```

8832

```

Unless and until

Your towering mind

Admires your kneeling heart,

Your God-realisation

Will remain a far cry.

```

8833

```

A heart of plenty

Says big things —

God’s God-Things —

In simple and soulful terms. ```

8834

```

If you care only

For your mind’s great plans,

God will not allow you to see

His Vision’s Prosperity. ```

8835

```

Activate

Your aspiration-heart.

God will then ask you

To cultivate

His Satisfaction-Heart-Field.

```

8836

```

Not God’s Justice

But God’s Compassion

Has predicted

That man’s heart shall succeed

And not fail.

```

8837

```

You must know

That your mind is yours.

How, then, can you allow your mind

To stand in God’s way? ```

8838

```

God invented

Tranquillity-satisfaction.

Man has invented

Tension-destruction. ```

8839

```

Only when we please God

In God’s own Way

Shall we feel comfort.

Otherwise,

Everything will be an ordeal.

```

8840

```

If you are a true God-lover,

Then you will see

That God has created everything

For your pure heart

And not for your critical eyes.

```

8841

```

Just between you and me,

God has finally decided

To starve the doubting mind

To death. ```

8842

```

God has given you

The capacity to please Him,

And you have given ignorance

The capacity to destroy you. ```

8843

```

If you lock your mind

Inside the anxiety-prison cell,

How can anybody

Liberate you? ```

8844

```

Your old mind

Is not going to study

With your new heart.

Never! ```

8845

```

If you sleeplessly obey

Your soul,

You can easily have a life

Of perfect perfection. ```

8846

```

Shake off

The shackles of self-doubt

If you want God to treasure

Your life-breath

Proudly.

```

8847

```

Be a true possessor of faith.

Then you can,

Without any difficulty,

Be a renouncer of doubt. ```

8848

```

He who has

The power of surrender

Can make God

His genuine Lover. ```

8849

```

Let your inner world

Be free from fear.

Your outer world

Will automatically enjoy

The delight of freedom.

```

8850

```

If you forget

To be grateful,

Then God also may forget

To be fruitful. ```

8851

```

God’s Love will strengthen

Your weak heart.

God’s Compassion will forgive

Your wicked mind. ```

8852

```

O my suffering heart,

You are almost dead.

Do try to come to my soul

Alive! ```

8853

```

The moment God created

Your aspiration-heart,

He created for Himself

His Satisfaction-Heart. ```

8854

```

My Lord,

Give me the capacity

To be brave

And always to live inside

My heart-cave.

```

8855

```

Your mind and its burden

Are not far

From God’s Compassion-Heart

And Forgiveness-Eye. ```

8856

```

The short story

Of a seeker’s perfect life

Is the story

Of his heart’s gratitude-song. ```

8857

```

Man’s evolution-song

God sings.

God’s Manifestation-Dance

Man dreams. ```

8858

```

Do not misuse

Any power,

Especially your inner life’s

Heart-power. ```

8859

```

Not your life’s pride-trees

But your heart’s humility-plants

Will reach Heaven.

```

8860

```

Who is responsible

For world-destruction

If not

Your mind’s conscious enjoyment

Of confusion?

```

8861

```

You can enjoy

A limitless life of glory

If you do not allow

Your life to be bound

By your body’s rules and regulations.

```

8862

```

Until the loftiest height

Is reached,

Nothing is safe,

Nothing is delightful,

Nothing is fruitful.

```

8863

```

Every day

Your soul gives you

Ample opportunity

To claim

Its illumination-beauty

As your very own. ```

8864

```

Your mind

Has to triumph

Over doubt.

Your heart

Has to triumph

Over insecurity.

Your life

Has to triumph

Over uncertainty.

```

8865

```

A frustrated life

Is an unconscious collector

Of rubbish-thoughts.

```

8866

```

I can never separate my mind

From the school

Of ancient ignorance.

```

8867

```

The inner sun

With its infinite beauty

Can shine

Only when we do not banish God

From our hope-life.

```

8868

```

There is only one safe place

To rest,

And that place is

My Eternity’s aspiration-nest. ```

8869

```

The soldiers of the army of light

Do not kill any human being.

They only illumine

All human beings. ```

8870

```

God needs me.

Alas,

This is a message

Misunderstood by my mind. ```

8871

```

Why do you have to travel

Between a hopeless birth

And a helpless death?

```

8872

```

God does not want to be

Anywhere else

Except in our heart-temples.

```

8873

```

Be brave within and without!

Do not allow the tyranny

Of past memories

To destroy your heart’s hope-bridge,

Which will carry you

To the other Shore,

The Shore of Light and Delight.

```

8874

```

If you are willing

To accept God’s Decision,

Then how can God

Keep from you

Your sacred illumination?

```

8875

```

You do not have to be afraid

Of your mind.

You can command your mind

Not to be an expert

In fruitless negative thinking.

```

8876

```

God-discovery

Is nothing other than

A matter of not giving up

The game. ```

8877

```

It is purity

And not insecurity

That has to take full possession

Of your heart. ```

8878

```

Revive your old dying dreams!

God is standing in front of you

Unseen

With His Heart’s Satisfaction-Smile. ```

8879

```

You wanted to solve

The world’s problems.

Alas,

Your own problems

Are dissolving your entire life.

```

8880

```

You have lost

God’s Compassion-Eye.

That means you have lost everything,

You fool! ```

8881

```

Think of your heart all the time.

Sooner or later

Your mind will not mind

Following your heart. ```

8882

```

If you deliberately nurse

Your life’s regrets,

God is not going to give you

Another chance

To be victorious

In the battlefield of your life. ```

8883

```

Only you

Can determine the power

Of your self-giving

To God’s Will. ```

8884

```

Man’s incapacity

Never displeases God.

It is his unwillingness

That displeases Him

Far beyond man’s imagination.

```

8885

```

Surrender to God’s Will

Is infinitely more important

Than your greedy craving

For the fruits of your aspiration-cry. ```

8886

```

Two things are never final:

My failure-life

And God’s withdrawal-life.

```

8887

```

Failure is something

That can not only bind us

But also illumine us.

```

8888

```

If you cannot find

What you seek,

That does not mean

Your aspiration-flame

Is totally extinguished.

```

8889

```

The divine secret

Of God-possession

Is to surrender one’s desire-life

And even one’s aspiration-heart. ```

8890

```

Your heart’s surrender-song

And your life’s gratitude-dance

Are your extraordinary contributions

To God’s Manifestation-Committee. ```

8891

```

You have lost your implicit faith

In your inner life.

That means in the inner world

You are nearing your spiritual grave. ```

8892

```

Every day

You must take an enthusiasm-injection

To increase the beauty and divinity

Of your aspiration-tree

And to multiply

Your faith-plants. ```

8893

```

Why do you blame God?

Why do you blame man?

It is you who have decided

To give up learning

Aspiration-songs and dedication-dances.

```

8894

```

If you do not start

Swimming with God,

Who knows?

Someday you will be forced

By unknown forces

To sink with man. ```

8895

```

Death

Is quite contrary

To his God-given

Inner philosophy. ```

8896

```

A purity-heart

Can stride on earth,

And its progress

Can be measured in Heaven. ```

8897

```

God asks me

To tell the world

That I will not keep

Any God-secrets.

They are too precious

To be hidden. ```

8898

```

The things that touch

The depths of our hearts

Are sanctified

By the hallowed Feet

Of our Beloved Supreme.

```

8899

```

Why do you enjoy

Your inferiority-chain?

God always wants you to enjoy

His universal Equality-Reign. ```

8900

```

Be simple, be sincere,

Be pure and be humble.

Go back,

Go back once more

To the basics of your inner life.
