Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 93

9201

```

The secret of your spiritual progress:

A new kind of psychic enthusiasm —

Pure, sweet and delicate —

Is dawning every day in your heart. ```

9202

```

During your meditation

Challenge yourself

To reach your highest

Even for a fleeting moment. ```

9203

```

Concentrate and meditate on purity.

Lo, all your inner resistance

Disappears

And automatically your heart’s door

Is wide open.

```

9204

```

You want to establish a universal oneness

And an abiding peace.

I am telling you,

Only one thing is absolutely necessary:

Your willingness-heart.

```

9205

```

Two meditation-secrets:

Safest

Is the heart centre,

Fastest

Is the crown centre.

```

9206

```

In my deepest meditation

I feel a sea of peace, light and bliss

Within me.

In my highest meditation

I see my aspiration-flame,

Like a rocket, climbing up.

```

9207

```

What else is failure

If not an opportunity

To challenge my own incapacities

With joy and determination? ```

9208

```

When my consciousness

Is at the top of my head

And going even beyond,

I know that I am finally reaching

My highest height.

```

9209

```

O moon,

Your beauty and purity

My heart and I

Are invoking.

O sun,

Your power and luminosity

My life and I

Are invoking. ```

9210

```

It is not where you go

Outwardly

But what you do

Inwardly

That helps you climb up

The inner ladder. ```

9211

```

Krishna, Buddha and Christ:

All three

Came from the Highest Plane

Of Consciousness-Light-Bliss —

Like real brothers of one Family.

```

9212

```

May your daily aspiration-flames

Be far beyond the reach

Of temptation-world!

```

9213

```

First try to please your Master

On the outer plane.

Then it will be quite easy

For you to please him

On the inner plane.

```

9214

```

Do you know what you have done?

In the inner world

You have placed Himalayan obstacles

Between you and God

Just by carelessly not listening to Him.

```

9215

```

You failed

Because you were impure.

You are failing

Because you are insecure.

But I tell you,

It is you who can succeed

The moment you become

Your heart’s confidence-smile. ```

9216

```

If the spiritual life

Is the only life for you,

Then you are indeed

A supremely chosen instrument

Of the Supreme.

```

9217

```

He has realised the Highest.

Yet to the whole world

He offers only one message:

Self-transcendence. ```

9218

```

I shall no longer revolt

Against the higher Light.

Then there will everywhere

Be always harmony,

And disobedience-night

Will nowhere be found. ```

9219

```

You did something great,

And now you expect the world

To honour you and touch your feet.

But have you forgotten

Your own ancient message:

This moment expectation,

The next moment frustration,

And the following moment

Destruction?

```

9220

```

This world is very vast.

When an aspirant no longer wishes

To listen to God,

He can easily find his own boat

To sail in.

But for him,

No other destination

Save and except

Self-destruction.

```

9221

```

In his aspiration-life

He was more than successful

Because the divine in him

Helped him.

But in his dedication-life

He is more than a failure

Because the human in him

Is helping him. ```

9222

```

Each seeker must know

That he is the representative

Of his Master’s confidence,

And his Master is the representative

Of the Supreme’s Promise.

```

9223

```

God’s Justice-Light

Has made a final decision:

Inwardly if you disobey God,

Outwardly you will feel

His complete Withdrawal.

```

9224

```

A confidence-heart

The seeker can have

Only on the strength

Of his obedience-light.

There is no other way.

```

9225

```

When the soul is successful

In giving powerful messages

To the heart,

And when the heart is successful

In expressing these messages

To the world,

Then only is God successful

Inside His Creation-Heart. ```

9226

```

Opportunity-bird

Is not going to touch your feet.

Never!

It is you who have to clasp

The wings of opportunity-bird.

```

9227

```

As soon as expectation-snare appears,

I feel that God is examining

My sincerity-life

Seriously. ```

9228

```

You do not believe in meditation.

No harm.

But you do believe in prayer,

And what is prayer

If not another road

Leading to the Supreme? ```

9229

```

With his inner vision

He received God’s new Message:

“Humanity not only rightly deserves

But also urgently needs

Divine Authority and divine Justice.”

```

9230

```

He was just a carpenter’s son.

But when he achieved realisation,

He became the world-liberator.

```

9231

```

Anything is possible!

An ordinary man can teach

One who is destined to become

A world-saviour.

Anything is possible!

```

9232

```

If you alone want to be responsible

For your own life,

That means you do not need and care for

God’s Protection-Light. ```

9233

```

Modern science will discard

Whatever it wants to discard.

But definitely

Some of the old legends

Are absolutely true,

And the eternal truths

That they embody

Are indestructible. ```

9234

```

If the seeker has abiding faith

In his Inner Pilot,

Then there can be no temptation

That he cannot overcome. ```

9235

```

O fear, O doubt,

Why do I need you?

You are preventing me

From entering into

The kingdom of Vastness-Delight.

```

9236

```

My sweet Lord Supreme,

When I go to Heaven

Will You keep me

In Your special community

As You have kept me with You

Here on earth? ```

9237

```

For years the mind talked

About nothing but truth.

But when it saw its students,

Vital and body,

About to go beyond its territory,

What did it do?

It desperately tried to confuse them

And misguide them. ```

9238

```

When your Inner Pilot

Is in a serious mood,

That is the time for you

Also to be extremely serious

So that you can receive

The utmost from Him. ```

9239

```

He thinks of God

Because his mind

Is shockingly impure.

He meditates on God

Because his heart

Is hopelessly insecure.

He loves God

Because his soul

Is eternally strong.

```

9240

```

Here I am on earth!

O Heaven,

Send me not God,

But God’s Compassion-Eye

And His Forgiveness-Heart.

```

9241

```

God is eager

To perfect your ignorance-book,

But are you ready

To give Him the opportunity

To perform this unimaginable task?

```

9242

```

There are many things

You do not know.

One thing especially

You do not know,

And that is

The inescapable Command of Heaven. ```

9243

```

Your mind’s reluctance to change

Is ruining

Your complete acceptance of God.

```

9244

```

If your lethargic body

Does not want to budge an inch,

What can your poor soul do

For your ignorance-filled body? ```

9245

```

If you want to perform

On the world’s stage

To manifest God,

Your life needs

A humility-sky.

```

9246

```

When your heart needs a friend,

Heaven cheerfully supplies one.

When your mind wants an enemy,

Earth expressly supplies one. ```

9247

```

My Lord,

If I pray to You

To stop my future incarnations

On earth,

Will You listen to my heart’s only prayer,

Will You? ```

9248

```

You may feel that the world

Is just another part of yourself,

But alas,

Will the world ever share

Your oneness-delight?

```

9249

```

Realisation-light

Is always expanding.

In the beginning

Your prayer and meditation

Include only yourself —

Then your family, then your country

And finally, the whole world.

```

9250

```

Satisfaction is an achievement,

Joy is an achievement.

From these achievements

Man will become

A new God.

```

9251

```

A true seeker

Starts his daily life with meditation.

No matter how many activities

And responsibilities he accepts,

Meditation will always remain

First and foremost in his life. ```

9252

```

You feel that your inner light

Will never reappear.

But do not lose hope!

There shall come a time

When your life will be fully lit

Like a dark night

Flooded with moonlight.

```

9253

```

O sincere and powerful seeker,

Just look at the moon

And invoke the moon’s beauty and purity —

Your heart’s future treasures. ```

9254

```

If you do not want

To see God,

Then perhaps for you

God does not exist.

But I shall never sail with you

In your boat.

Never!

```

9255

```

Without prayer and meditation

Nobody can consciously

See and feel the soul,

Nobody can consciously

Do anything for God.

```

9256

```

My Lord,

How can I tell

If my meditation

Is the right kind

Of meditation?

“My child,

The right kind of meditation

Will always give you

A sense of satisfaction,

Peace and joy

On the inner plane.” ```

9257

```

You have kept your inner door

Tightly bolted.

How do you then expect to see

God the Liberator? ```

9258

```

The year has

Three hundred sixty-five days.

Have you meditated

Sincerely and soulfully

Three hundred sixty-five times

This year —

Even for just one minute a day?

```

9259

```

God’s Heart of Compassion

Sometimes feels miserable

When God watches His children

Ceaselessly playing ignorance-game. ```

9260

```

If your love for God

Is unconditional,

You can never be

A victim to insecurity. ```

9261

```

Do not worry

About your today’s meditation-failure!

Your heart’s Compassion-Pilot

Will give you again and again

Golden opportunities

To do your transcendental meditation. ```

9262

```

Every day look in the mirror

To see if your heart

Is a morning beauty-smile.

```

9263

```

If you can sing divine songs

Most soulfully,

You are bound to get the same result

As from your sublime meditation. ```

9264

```

What can keep you close

To your Master’s consciousness

And keep your mind free

From undivine thoughts?

A soulful song-delight!

```

9265

```

The vast universe

Is God’s Heart.

Again,

My tiny heart

Is also God’s Heart.

```

9266

```

There can be no conflict

Between your action-force

And your meditation-silence

If you can take them

As two inseparable friends

Fulfilling the Will of the Absolute Supreme. ```

9267

```

Only when the disciples

Have moon-pure faith

Can the Master tell them

Who he truly is

And what he will definitely do

For them. ```

9268

```

Your Master’s way

Is the only way for you,

For his way is directly coming

From your Beloved Supreme. ```

9269

```

God will not throw back at you

The undivine qualities

That you throw into Him.

Luckily He has a special place

To throw them:

His Universal Consciousness. ```

9270

```

Every second

Take your Master’s physical presence

On earth

As a golden opportunity.

For when he passes behind

The curtain of Eternity,

You will have the regular experience

Of true hardship. ```

9271

```

God has told me

To forget about my capacity.

My willingness is the only capacity

That He needs to see in me. ```

9272

```

Drop from your shoulders

Cheerfully and bravely

The old dead elephant

Which you insist on carrying.

Immediately you will discover within you

The speed of a deer. ```

9273

```

Master,

I am extremely lucky

To be in your divine presence.

“My child,

I, too, am extremely fortunate,

For I have the opportunity

To manifest the Supreme

In you and through you.” ```

9274

```

Change your attitude towards life!

You will see everything

As a necessary experience.

```

9275

```

Now that his entire being

Lives only for God,

A breath of purity-bliss

Has awakened his entire reality-life. ```

9276

```

Your aspiration-heart

Daily needs your illumination-soul

Not only to encourage you

But also to perfect your life. ```

9277

```

Alas,

All his outer glories

Have sunk into the very depth

Of his past frustration-cave. ```

9278

```

Aspire more soulfully and more devotedly.

Otherwise

Your life will sink deeper and deeper

Into desire-darkness. ```

9279

```

Spirituality and religion

Are totally different.

Religion is a tiny mind-room,

Spirituality is a vast heart-room. ```

9280

```

Religion says,

If you accept me in my way,

Then you are good.

Spirituality says,

You do not have to follow my way.

Follow your own way soulfully

And reach your destined goal. ```

9281

```

This is his discovery:

The higher you go

In the inner world,

The more you ignore your earth-body

To help the outer world.

```

9282

```

There was a time

When his aspiration-heart

Wanted to measure

God’s Compassion-Sea.

But now wisdom has dawned in his heart.

He does not want to try

The impossible!

```

9283

```

Empty your mind

If you sincerely and desperately

Need God

For the illumination of your mind

And for the satisfaction of your heart.

```

9284

```

Even though he is a great seeker,

He has no idea

When his connection with ignorance

Will come to a total end. ```

9285

```

When he meditates on God,

His heart looks like an angel.

When he meditates on himself,

His mind not only looks like

But actually becomes

A devil. ```

9286

```

No matter how hard you try

To avoid the disaster-cave,

Your desire-life

Will lead you into it. ```

9287

```

If you allow your mind

To enjoy tangled thoughts,

How can you expect God

To share with you

His infinite Freedom-Delight?

```

9288

```

He who deliberately

Wants to deceive the world

Will eventually become

A most deplorable failure. ```

9289

```

You will not be able to perfect

Anybody else on earth,

No matter how little his imperfections are.

But you will be able to perfect

Yourself,

Because that is your God-ordained

Responsibility.

```

9290

```

In the spiritual life

Nothing, absolutely nothing,

Can be as important

As your self-offering meditation. ```

9291

```

If you can remain happy and soulful,

Then automatically you can aspire more,

Dedicate your life cheerfully

And become spiritually perfect

In your entire being.

```

9292

```

As you cannot remain alive

With yesterday’s food,

Even so, today you cannot remain

Spiritually alive

With yesterday’s inner cry.

```

9293

```

This time I shall not fail

To sit at the foot of peace-tree

To have a trance-delight-meditation.

```

9294

```

Be conscious and careful

While meditating with others.

One wrong inner movement

Can quickly spread

And disturb all your fellow seekers.

```

9295

```

He sees the faults of the world,

But because of his oneness-consciousness

He cannot bring himself

To speak against the world. ```

9296

```

The Master forgives

But never forgets

Those who have forgotten him.

How deeply it pains him

When he sees that his children

Are spiritually dead,

Although physically alive.

```

9297

```

Occult powers are available.

Miracles do happen.

But to see them happen every day

One needs ample faith

In one’s own inner life.

```

9298

```

When he showed his compassion-height,

The world ignored and discarded it.

Now he is showing his justice-light.

Believe it or not,

The world is accepting him,

Accepting him even beyond

His own imagination-flight.

```

9299

```

Why do you say

That you are on earth

And your Heavenly Father

Is somewhere else?

Do you not remember

The words of the Christ:

“I and my Father are one”?

Right from the beginning

The Father decided to be

Always with His creation. ```

9300

```

You are not where you think you are.

You are deep inside

The very depths of God’s Heart

As His choice Treasure. ```
