Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 173

17201

When God feeds my eyes
With His Smile,
I feel that I have become something.

When God feeds my heart
With His Smile,
I feel that I already have everything.

17202

A clear mind
And a pure heart
Can always be proper instruments
Of their inner guide:
The soul.

17203

If you are a genuine seeker,
Then your life cannot be
A chronicle of ceaseless desires
And endless doubts.

17204

Alas,
I do not know
How I can remove
My mind’s countless
Unwillingness-weeds.

17205

If you sponsor
God’s manifestation-race,
Then God is bound to show you
His Satisfaction-Face.

17206

Whenever there has been a race
Between the mind and the heart,
The heart has always eventually won,
Gloriously won,
Of course, at God’s choice Hour.

17207

Divinity’s story unfolds
With a purity-life
And a humility-heart.

17208

Before I do anything,
I always take permission
From my Heaven-climbing
Aspiration-heart.

17209

Alas,
Is there any aspiring heart
That has not been scarred
By intensity and profundity-sorrows?

17210

There is no crime
That God cannot forgive,
But we have to spend
Many sleepless nights and days
At His Forgiveness-Feet.

17211

True,
Ignorance-storm is very powerful,
But it has to pass away
Someday,
Sooner or later.

17212

Human life lives between
Noise-confusion
And choice-illumination.

17213

Each soul is the possessor
Of divine interdependence-qualities
And not of independence-qualities.

17214

O my mind,
Be quiet
And prayerfully watch
The unhorizoned dawn
Of the future.

17215

Love-power
In abundant measure
Is available always
Inside the silence-tower.

17216

Give yourself unconditionally.
Then you will see
That God will ask you
To claim rightfully
Your victory-crown.

17217

The human mind searches
For something strengthening.
The divine heart longs
For something soulfully lengthening.

17218

God-inspiration helps me
Run forward.
God-aspiration helps me
Fly upward.
God-surrender helps me
Dive inward.

17219

Each aspiring heart
Is a fruitful blessing
From Above
And a powerful challenge
From within.

17220

My Lord,
Do show me every morning
My sincerity’s gratitude-heart-sunrise.

17221

The conscious and continuous
Suspicion-mind
Is destined for self-destruction.

17222

Laugh at yourself
Openly
If you want
To transcend yourself
Secretly.

17223

A constantly desiring mind
Is nothing other than
A whirlwind of confusion.

17224

Show God
What you have for Him:
Your hungry heart.
God will give you
What He has for you:
His Compassion-Feast.

17225

Your outer deeds
Must soulfully depend
On your inner needs.

17226

Cry to God
For a self-giving heart
To protect you
From the deluge of disappointment.

17227

Do not live with tomorrow’s
Stupid procrastination-mind.
Live with today’s
Wise aspiration-perfection-heart.

17228

What kind of spiritual Master is he
Who is unwilling
Consciously and deliberately
To teach all and sundry?

17229

Hope is the beauty
Of a seeker-mind.
Courage is the divinity
Of a giver-heart.

17230

The radiance of a purity-heart
Can liberate the seeker
From his desire-prison.

17231

Fear clings
To a faithless heart
And to a Godless shore.

17232

My Lord,
May my eagerness-aspiration,
Eagerness-adoration
And eagerness-love
Be only for You.

17233

A true aspiration-heart
Is always empty
Of frustration-night.

17234

My love feeds God satisfactorily.
My devotion feeds God quickly.
My surrender feeds God immediately.

17235

My heart has the capacity to fly
High, higher, highest
To the dreamland
Where possibility’s fulfilled realities shine.

17236

Be receptive
To God’s Sunshine-Smile,
For it is indeed an antidote
To all your insecurities.

17237

Only an aspiration-heart knows
That failure does not mark
The God-journey’s end.

17238

Yesterday’s failures
Must be forgotten.
Tomorrow’s new hope
And new fulfilment
Must be cherished.

17239

Self-giving is
An ancient art.
We all must learn it
And practise it.

17240

God’s Vision, God’s Perfection
And God’s Satisfaction
Have invisible foundations.

17241

Sow soulfully
If you want
To reap triumphantly.

17242

Each human being
Has a blessingful heart-song
That speedily soars
Towards the summit-heights.

17243

I am indeed a fool!
In vain I try to measure
Every day
The measureless heights and depths
Of my Supreme Lord’s
Love and Smile.

17244

Every day
God compassionately expects you
To be extremely kind
To your charmingly beautiful
Child-heart.

17245

Every day
God asks my heart
To play its peace-manifesting role
On earth.

17246

My nature’s perfection
And God-Satisfaction
Will meet before long —
Of course at God’s choice Hour.

17247

As long as we stay
Inside God’s Compassion-Heart
And at his Protection-Feet,
We shall be able to protect
Both the divine and the human
In our lives.

17248

Wherever you go,
Try, try to sow
Your soul’s powerful
Peace-seeds.

17249

Every morning
I become a candidate
For my Lord’s
Compassion-Forgiveness-Blessing-Light.

17250

The hesitant mind prays
To the unknown God.
The loving heart meditates
On the ever-known God.

17251

The composer
Of the world’s oneness-song
Was always
The aspiring heart.

17252

I look within
To meet with my yet-unknown friends.
I look without
To silence my known
And formidable enemies.

17253

The dividing mind of the world
Ceaselessly fights.
The unifying heart of the world
Sleeplessly weeps.

17254

My dreams smile
Through my heart.
My realities smile
Through my eyes.

17255

Humanity’s most agonizing question:
“Where is the universally
And permanently adorable man?”

17256

Every day
My heart struggles and struggles
To escape stark ignorance-forest.

17257

I do not care
If I am deserted
By human beings
As long as I find myself
Inside the Heart of my Lord Supreme.

17258

God’s proud Satisfaction-Delight
Abides inside the heart
Of my life’s fruitfulness.

17259

A vastness-mind
Can make
The body’s fear-tremor
Disappear.

17260

What is gratitude?
A heart’s ceaseless
Smile-song for God.

17261

Imagination-seed
Reveals the beauty
Of the reality-tree
Slowly but unmistakably.

17262

In the outer world
What we call war-machine,
In the inner world
We call peace-famine.

17263

God Himself campaigns
For the victory
Of my self-giving heart.

17264

Today is a miracle-day for me,
For today I am able to claim God
As my own, very own.

17265

Quite often
A victory in the outer life
Ends the victory
Of the inner life.

17266

Nobody dares to believe
That God loves him
Unconditionally.

17267

A heart of purity
And
A mind of peace
Are next-door neighbours.

17268

I always try to remain
In between
My Lord’s Compassion-Eye
And Protection-Feet.

17269

My gratitude-heart
Is my Lord’s
Supremely fruitful gift to me.

17270

May my life be chained
To my surrender-heart
And nothing else.

17271

You are God’s chosen child.
Do not hide.
God does not want you to hide.

17272

The mind is fond
Of God the Powerful.
The heart is fond
Of God the Merciful.
The soul is fond
Of God the Peaceful.

17273

I may not know
Why God has created me.
But I do know
Why I have created God.
I have created God
To satisfy my power-hunger.

17274

Insecurity tells me
That the road is endless.
Security tells me
That the road is cloudless.

17275

Each time I offer
My heart’s gratitude-tears
To mankind,
Divinity’s earth-fulfilment-promise
Hastens towards me.

17276

I always treasure
And do not measure
My heart’s aspiration-height.

17277

O my God-faith,
Do turn my fearful heart
Into a meaningless nothingness.

17278

O my heart,
How long do you want
To remain out of touch
With my soul’s wisdom-light?

17279

I know, I know,
My aspiration-heart
And my dedication-life
Will have no end.

17280

Today I am studying
The medical science of living.
Tomorrow I shall study
The spiritual art of being.

17281

I try and try,
But I never succeed
In regaining my long-lost
Love, devotion and surrender
For God.

17282

Pleasure-dreams
Are all-where.
Action-realities
Are nowhere.

17283

Loneliness and helplessness
Are not to be found
Inside the heart of selflessness.

17284

My childlike heart’s impurity
Does not shock God.
But my self-righteous mind’s
Proud head
Deeply shocks God.

17285

My powerful mind
Is conversant with
Continuous chaos.

My soulful heart
Is conversant with
Precious spontaneity.

17286

Alas,
At times the creativity
Of the mind
Is doomed to ambiguity.

17287

The doubt-mind succeeds
Only when the faith-heart fails,
And not before.

17288

The simplicity of the mind
And the purity of the heart —
These are the things
That truly satisfy God.

17289

My reasoning mind must surrender
To my aspiring heart
For God’s supreme Victory
In and through me.

17290

The mind’s simplicity
And the heart’s generosity
Often go together.

17291

At times I may forget
My own name
But I never forget my Lord’s
Express Heart-Phone Number.

17292

May my heart radiate
Every day
A God-willingness-fountain.

17293

The heart says:
“Come in, come in, come in!”
The mind says:
“Get out, get out, get out!”

17294

Alas,
I do not know why
Every morning I miss
My Lord’s Compassion-flooded
Arrival.

17295

My unconditional surrender
To God’s Will
Marks the very end
Of the unknown tomorrow’s will.

17296

By God’s boundless Grace
I shall definitely rescue
My helpless hopes
From doubt-destruction-night.

17297

If you do not have
Courage in your heart
And willingness in your mind,
How can you hope for a new dawn
And a fulfilling promise?

17298

God never wanted to remain
Unknowable,
But we made Him unknowable
By consciously and deliberately
Making friends
With the darkest abyss.

17299

Ignorance and darkness
Must not be taken
As a permanent reality-existence.

17300

O my Lord Supreme,
Every day do bless my inspiration-eyes
With an unlimited supply
Of sweetness
And do bless my aspiration-heart
With an unlimited supply
Of soulfulness.
