Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 92

9101

```

I am so happy

Now that I am beginning

To give my all

To my Beloved Supreme. ```

9102

```

The darkness within you

Will die

Only when the devotedness within you

Invokes illumination from Above. ```

9103

```

Each soul is special

Because each soul is made

Of God’s Vision-Reality.

```

9104

```

If you are a God-lover,

That means God has already baptised you

In His Satisfaction-Sea.

```

9105

```

A selfless man

Sees in everything

His perfection’s God-song.

```

9106

```

Impurity caught his mind

Off guard,

But the purity of his heart

Has come to his mind’s rescue. ```

9107

```

My Lord Supreme,

Where are Your chosen instruments?

“Alas, My chosen instruments

Are enjoying ignorance-sleep

Instead of fulfilling

Their promised tasks.” ```

9108

```

If you do not preserve

Your heart’s purity-flower,

Nobody, not even your dear ones,

Can save you

In your life of aspiration.

```

9109

```

Slowly and steadily

You have to silence your mind

So that the peace-dove

Can nest in it. ```

9110

```

My heart’s gratitude-tears

Are the only jewels

That my Lord Supreme

Most powerfully appreciates. ```

9111

```

Since you are

Your closed mind,

You will have

Open enemies. ```

9112

```

He is happy

Because every day he tries

And actually does

A little more than he thinks he can. ```

9113

```

Surrender

Is the cornerstone

Of man’s

God-manifesting palace. ```

9114

```

Aspiration is a vow you took.

Now you should take a dedication-vow.

Then only will God be able

To plough your heart-field

Most satisfactorily.

```

9115

```

Faith has been chosen

By God Himself

To be the campaign manager

For God’s Victory. ```

9116

```

If you do not silence

Your self-indulgence supreme,

How can God feed you

To immortalise your heart’s inner hunger? ```

9117

```

Never say no

To God’s Compassion-Eye-Request

If you want to have a life

Of sleepless ecstasy. ```

9118

```

Try to see only God’s Satisfaction-Face.

Then only will you be able to face

This ingratitude-world every day.

```

9119

```

Satisfaction in giving,

Satisfaction in receiving,

Satisfaction in transcending,

Satisfaction, satisfaction, satisfaction

Is the only God for me.

```

9120

```

Great achievements

Do not demand great sacrifices.

Great achievements

Need only a Compassion-Flood

From the Absolute Lord Supreme.

```

9121

```

Cultivate purity in your heart.

You will be able to rediscover

Before long

The Kingdom of Heaven. ```

9122

```

O unconscious mind,

By any chance

Have you ever read

God’s unconditional Compassion-Book? ```

9123

```

The life of freedom

You will be able to enjoy

Only after you have climbed

The tower of wisdom. ```

9124

```

God definitely wants you

To buy stock

To your heart’s content

In His Compassion-Company. ```

9125

```

If you do not want to recognise

The seeds of doubt

Inside your mind,

God will not grant you

The fruits of faith

Inside your heart. ```

9126

```

His heart’s simplicity-life

Was badly misunderstood

Even by one of his immediate possessions:

His mind. ```

9127

```

“Does God exist?”

This is your question.

God does exist.

He exists not only for you

But also for everybody else.

See if this answer can satisfy you. ```

9128

```

Unless and until your desire-life

Is reduced to nothingness,

You cannot become a member

Of God’s universal Fulness-Society. ```

9129

```

He has run his aspiration-life

So well

That God is all appreciation

And satisfaction. ```

9130

```

If you live in an atmosphere

Of aspiration,

Perfection will be

Your God-given name. ```

9131

```

Alas,

Only his ego-life

Is progressing.

Everything else

Is drastically regressing.

```

9132

```

Do not waste

Your God-service-hours

Thinking mundane thoughts.

```

9133

```

Death is compulsory

Because God wants the soldiers of life

To take rest

At the end of each battle. ```

9134

```

Each heart-path

Is strewn with purity-flowers,

But the human mind

Does not want to believe it. ```

9135

```

Why are you so blind

That you cannot see

Your stupendous pride is only splashing

In your mind’s ego-lake? ```

9136

```

I am not sure whether humanity

Is a half-formed divinity

Or an ill-formed stupidity.

```

9137

```

Although he is notorious

For his insincerity-life,

He is vigorous

In trying to transform his life,

Once and for all.

```

9138

```

You are bound to win always

In the inner world

If you do not allow your mind

To analyse the outer world. ```

9139

```

When you are angry with God,

Your soul, with its strictness,

And your Lord, with His Compassion,

Make arrangements for an interview. ```

9140

```

Your soulful dedication

To God

Will determine

God’s fruitful affection

For you.

```

9141

```

If you open your heart,

You will feel that God

Can never be strict with you,

Never,

For His Compassion-Height

Is infinitely stronger

Than His Justice-Light.

```

9142

```

Others may not know,

But I do know

One of my outstanding faults:

I feel that the world

Badly needs me.

```

9143

```

Early in the morning

Every day

You must do one thing

Before you do anything else:

Strike your lethargy-infested mind.

```

9144

```

When I look into God’s Eye,

My life becomes

My heart’s unhorizoned delight.

```

9145

```

The only wish of my life

Is to discover

My cheerful and unconditional surrender

To God’s Justice-Light. ```

9146

```

On principle

Mortals do not like to learn

Their hearts’ aspiration-songs.

```

9147

```

You must realise that every day

You enjoy

Your self-created crucifixion.

Why do you then blame God

For not granting you

His Heart’s Ecstasy-Ocean? ```

9148

```

If you want to make yourself happy,

If you want to make God happy,

Then self-giving has to be

The motto of your life. ```

9149

```

I do not mind

If all my other promises

Remain unfulfilled,

But my God-realisation-promise

In this lifetime

I must fulfil. ```

9150

```

Give what you have

And what you are.

Then every day God will observe

Your supreme victory-anniversary. ```

9151

```

Time hangs heavy on your life

Because you do not want God

To use your time

On your behalf. ```

9152

```

God at times may shut His Ear,

But He never shuts His Eye,

And never, never, never

Does He shut His Heart! ```

9153

```

Develop your inner confidence-power.

You will be able to become

A perfect builder

Of God’s Manifestation-Temple on earth. ```

9154

```

Unless you are a rank fool,

You will always

Take the side of your soul.

```

9155

```

If you can be soulfully happy

And remain happy,

God considers it

Your real meditation. ```

9156

```

Once you have established

A solid inner link

With your spiritual Master,

Yesterday’s Master, today’s Master

And tomorrow’s Master

Will all become one in your life. ```

9157

```

From his desire-life

He has inherited nothing

But an endless series of failures.

```

9158

```

If you have to go slowly

In your aspiration-life,

Go slowly.

But I don’t want to see

Your aspiration-life

On the brink of extinction. ```

9159

```

My Lord Supreme,

At the end of my life

Will I remember

That when newness knocked

At my door

I chose to remain closeted

Inside my old, tiny self?

```

9160

```

Life itself is always an opportunity.

If you are in the animal life,

You have the opportunity

To become human.

If you are in the human life,

You have the opportunity

To become divine,

Plus perfect. ```

9161

```

What is your old self?

Your old self is

An unsatisfactory self

That you have created

By not emptying your life-vessel

Of its brooding imperfection. ```

9162

```

The new year comes

To give you another opportunity,

Another hope.

But the new year will come and go.

So begin your self-transformation-play

Immediately! ```

9163

```

The doubt-cancer in your mind

Is spreading every day.

Be careful!

Faith-radiation is of immediate need. ```

9164

```

Is there anybody

Who does not indulge

In opinions?

Is there anybody

Who does not wish to adhere

To his convictions? ```

9165

```

He who can soulfully smile at God

Can definitely sail fast

On life’s progress-river.

```

9166

```

When your dedication becomes irregular,

Your faith in yourself

Cannot do anything else except wane.

```

9167

```

An impure mind

Quite often desires to use

Its volcano-irritation

To destroy the world. ```

9168

```

Keep aside three special minutes a day.

The first minute you will use

To realise God,

The second minute, to manifest God,

The third minute, to become

God’s sleepless Satisfaction-Delight. ```

9169

```

When the suspicious mind

And the dynamic vital

Engage in a tug-of-war,

The heart invariably

Takes the side of the vital.

```

9170

```

The simpler the life, the better.

The purer the mind, the better.

The deeper the heart, the better.

The higher the self-giving, the better.

The quicker the God-realisation, the better.

The stronger the God-oneness, the better. ```

9171

```

Everyone loves to blame somebody else.

But who is that somebody else

If not a portion of

The unrealised universal Self? ```

9172

```

His new inner boss, faith,

Dispensed with his old colleague, doubt,

The moment faith assumed

Legitimate office. ```

9173

```

How long can you cling

To the shore of hope

Without using your heart’s

Determination-strength

To win in the battlefield of life?

```

9174

```

If you see

Through the heart’s eye,

You will see

That you have already started

Your life’s perfection-race.

```

9175

```

By defying doubt,

His mind is flying

In the sky of God’s

Satisfaction-Delight. ```

9176

```

Behold, his old friends,

Jealousy and insecurity,

Have left him quite unexpectedly.

Therefore, his delight

Is beyond the flight of his imagination.

```

9177

```

When you meditate,

Try to disconnect the thought-current.

You will see and feel

A torrent of God-Delight

Descending from Above

Into your aspiration-heart. ```

9178

```

I open my heart-door

Only in order to lock

My Lord’s Faith

Inside my heart. ```

9179

```

I have given God what I have:

A self-indulgence-life.

God has given me what He is:

His Effulgence-Heart. ```

9180

```

After a long time,

Today he is having

A happy reunion

With his self-giving life. ```

9181

```

Your mind is enmeshed

In imperfection.

Therefore

How can it see the perfection

In God’s Perfection-Vision?

```

9182

```

I truly felt miserable

When I could not save my mind

With my heart’s light

From drowning in selfishness-sea. ```

9183

```

Familiarity can take away all charm.

But we must be wise,

For inside familiarity is also housed

Tremendously illumining

And fulfilling opportunity.

```

9184

```

God the Beloved Supreme

Is waiting for you.

Never be afraid

Of entering the heart’s

Cheerfulness-territory.

```

9185

```

Be careful!

You will be taunted

By temptation

Even when you are on the verge

Of God-realisation.

```

9186

```

Who says that being a mortal

Means you are insignificant?

Your heart’s gratitude-flowers

Are the feasts of Infinity. ```

9187

```

Ambition comes not

From the hungry heart

But from the disproportionate greed

Of the vital. ```

9188

```

Yesterday

He was at one

With unwillingness.

Today

Willingness has conquered

His aspiration-heart. ```

9189

```

Only the unconditional souls

Can sing with God

When He sings,

And carry the melody perfectly. ```

9190

```

God is performing His Task.

He is keeping your heart-door open.

Are you performing your task?

Are you keeping your mind-door closed? ```

9191

```

If you do not believe

In your inner purity,

How can you be divinely satisfied

With your outer beauty? ```

9192

```

Two eternal rivals:

A doubting mind,

The possession of this world,

And a climbing heart,

An inheritance from the higher worlds.

```

9193

```

He who has civilised his savage vital

Has an added advantage

In reaching the final destination.

```

9194

```

The man who depends on his mind

All the time

Has a life filled with futility.

```

9195

```

God definitely wants you

To follow in His Footsteps

And enter into the blossoming satisfaction

Of His Heart-Garden. ```

9196

```

He prepared himself anew each day

For his Supreme Lord’s arrival

With his heart’s soulful prayer

And his life’s peaceful meditation. ```

9197

```

True, Truth and God are one,

But I love God more.

True, God and God-Ecstasy are one,

But I need God more. ```

9198

```

Unless God’s Compassion nourishes you

And strengthens you,

You cannot stand on your own two feet

In the inner world. ```

9199

```

Although he came to God,

Because of his Himalayan pride,

He did not accept anything from God.

He went away empty-handed! ```

9200

```

I wish to surrender,

But how to surrender?

I wish to be perfect,

But how to be perfect?

I can surrender my existence-life

To God’s Will

And I can become perfect

In God’s Heart

Only when I can sincerely claim

My Lord Supreme

As my own, very own.
