Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 180

Return to the table of contents

17901

Every day
I must steer my life-boat
With my eagerness-heart
And my enthusiasm-mind.

17902

If you want to succeed
In anything in life,
Then you must use
Your soul’s dauntless lion-power.

17903

Not only individual and collective
But also universal
Is the tendency to deliberately ignore
The dictates of the Inner Pilot.

17904

With your heart’s streaming tears
And not with your unshed tears
You can erase your dark past.

17905

Today’s
Self-indulgence-blessing
Inevitably becomes
Tomorrow’s
Life-destruction-curse.

17906

Nobody cares to know
What I am doing.
Alas, why do I care
To bare my secret thoughts?

17907

A man of sincerity
Is dismayed
By his own mind’s
Bold shout-power.

17908

Each and every flame
Of the aspiring heart
Is fed
By the blessingful and fruitful
Opportunity-sun.

17909

Unless all the aspiration
And dedication-troops
Of the world
Are mobilised,
The peace-manifestation-dream
Of earth
Will remain a far cry.

17910

O my mind,
My life is already
Too complex.
For God’s sake
Do not complicate it more
With your contagious doubts!

17911

The human mind
Likes to prophesy unhappiness
And not happiness
Day in and day out.

17912

The happiness
Of an ego-bloated mind
Is as enduring
As a mound of sand.

17913

If the mind’s sincerity
And the heart’s purity
Walk together,
Then every obstacle
On the way
Will definitely crumble.

17914

A self-giving thought
Is indeed
Time well-spent.

17915

A God-loving heart
Takes the doubting mind
As an unwelcome intruder.

17916

Quite often
Our expectations go downhill
Faster
Than our own imagination.

17917

I may not always know
What God’s Will is,
But I do know
What a good thought is.
Why do I not invite
The presence of a good thought
To lift me and my surroundings up?

17918

The beauty of the morning
Inspires us.
The beauty of the evening
Purifies us.

17919

May each morning come to me
With an inspiration-message-light.
May each evening come to me
With a gratitude-message-light.

17920

Be brave
To see the face of newness
And feel the heart of newness
If you want to start
Your life’s Godward journey.

17921

Each man has qualities
Good and bad.
God wants me to look
Only at man’s good qualities.
To correct his bad qualities
Is God’s Task.
I must not interfere
In God’s cherished activities.

17922

My Lord Supreme
Dearly treasures
My life’s progress-report.

17923

Nothing can be
More valuable and fruitful
Than to cherish
Each gratitude-breath
Of our heart.

17924

He is so sad
That his life-car
Is helplessly stalled
By doubt-giant.

17925

Life is nothing
Other than
An opportunity-fountain-smile.

17926

Desire-life
Always brings in
Ruthless frustration-night.

17927

Can you not see
That God is crying and weeping
For you to join Him in His Boat
To reach the Shore
Of the ever-transcending Beyond?

17928

If your mind is brave,
Then challenge thought!
If your heart is pure,
Then transcend thought!

17929

Love God unconditionally!
You will not be chained
By earth-bound time.

17930

The mind’s willingness
Is always treasured
By the heart’s openness.

17931

It takes a man of courage
To enjoy
Earth-adventure-journey.

17932

In the morning
I pray
To God’s Compassion-Eye.

In the evening
I meditate
On God’s Forgiveness-Heart.

17933

This world of ours
Has only two realities:
Sadness
And
Madness.

17934

Alas, I do not know
If the need for peace
Will ever be on the increase
In the human mind.

17935

O my mind,
When will you stop
Allowing your kingdom
To be ruled
By ruthless ignorance-night?

17936

The golden smile
Of Heaven
And the silver gratitude
Of earth
Are extremely fond of each other.

17937

Alas, each human life
Is either consciously
Or unconsciously bound
By unlimited expectation-chains.

17938

A surrender-life
Ascends.
A gratitude-heart
Expands.

17939

A heart of faith
Sees
No mind of doubt
Anywhere!

17940

Temptation and attachment
Are two members
Of life’s insecurity-team.

17941

True, a mind of sincerity
Is rare.
But rarer still
Is a heart of purity.

17942

I do not want to part with either of
My most precious possessions:
Two helpless eyes
And one hopeless heart.

17943

Where do I live?
I live in my sweet hope-home
And nowhere else.

17944

Each thought is uncertain,
Each action is uncertain,
Life itself is uncertain.
Alas, everything on earth
Is doomed to be uncertain.

17945

My Lord,
May my heart be flooded
With compassion-oneness-capacity.

17946

Ego means
Sleepless attention-necessity
And nothing else.

17947

Self-imposed obligation
Stupidly pleases
The undivine in me.

Self-forgetful sacrifice
Supremely pleases
The divine in me.

17948

Neither self-doubt
Nor self-aggrandisement
Can change the real reality
In us.

17949

Each good thought
Is a beautiful
Heart-flower.

17950

Unbelievable, but true:
My suspicion-mind,
My Lord’s Compassion-Eye
And my Lord’s Forgiveness-Heart
Together live.

17951

My morning meditation-beauty
Is my self-perfection.
My evening meditation-fragrance
Is my Lord’s Satisfaction.

17952

The God-satisfaction-seekers list
Has always been
Shorter than the shortest
Since the beginning of human aspiration.

17953

If God has the time
To smile at you powerfully,
How is it
That you do not have time
To cry for God soulfully?

17954

What I need
Is the beauty of hope
And the duty of patience
To make enormous progress
In my inner life.

17955

To my great surprise,
Every day I get
Quite unexpected Blessing-Gifts
From my Lord Supreme.

17956

The heart’s aspiration-cries
Must never be neglected
For the ruthlessly doubting mind.

17957

Sweeping changes in my inner life
Have strengthened me
To pray and meditate once more,
Sincerely, soulfully and self-givingly.

17958

Every day I do two things:
I make a hope-garden
Inside my heart,
And I create a promise-mountain
Inside my mind.

17959

If you are rooted
To a comfort-life,
Then God’s Satisfaction-Heart
Can never be claimed by you.

17960

I am really happy now
Precisely because
I have realised the futility
Of my expectation-mind.

17961

Can there be a greater fool
Than you are
If you postpone
Your self-improvement-life?

17962

The path of the heart’s insecurity
Can never lead us
To our divinity’s
Transcendental Reality.

17963

An uncommitted heart
Is indeed
A most deplorable failure
In our aspiration-life.

17964

You must do something better
Than just sounding
Your aspiration-dedication-drums
At every moment.

17965

Is there any day
When little deaths
Do not visit human beings?

17966

The armour of fear
Is reigning supreme
On earthly soil.

17967

I have two
Most significant friends:
My soul
And my soul’s unfinished task.

17968

There shall come a time
When this world of ours
Will have a new, all-loving
And all-fulfilling Master:
Peace.

17969

A self-giving thought
Is a step forward
Towards humanity’s
Perfection-life.

17970

O insecurity,
For years I considered you
My best friend.
But from now on,
I shall take you as
My worst foe!

17971

Darkness has the capacity
To choose you
Only when you do not turn
Towards the life-illumining light.

17972

May I treasure
Only those prayers
That stand as champions
Of universal harmony.

17973

The higher worlds fondly treasure
Humanity’s hope-birds
And promise-sky.

17974

O excruciating suffering,
You are so powerful!
I do hope that someday
You will prove to me
That you are meaningful
And fruitful as well.

17975

O sadness,
I do not know why
You came to me.
Is it because I deserve
Your ruthless presence?
Or is it because you are helpless
And it is predestined that you give me
A God-ordained experience?

17976

Where do I live?
I live in between
God’s human tears
And God’s divine Smiles.

17977

Each self-giving life
Has a permanent passport
To enter and live in
God’s Consciousness-Light-Bliss-Realm.

17978

O my sound-mind,
How can I live
With your destruction-frown?

O my silence-heart,
How can I live
Without your fulness-love?

17979

A self-giving life
Is far beyond
The temptation-desire-snare.

17980

God needs from you
Your soul’s childlike smile
And your heart’s childlike cry
Before He allows you
To breathe in
His universal Breath.

17981

The Lord Supreme tells
Each and every human being
That the strength of sincerity
Knows no finite boundary.

17982

O my stupid mind,
I am urging you
To pay all attention
To your soul’s invaluable,
Step-by-step
Nectar-instructions.

17983

Only the heart
Of a genuine God-lover
Can house
God’s infinite Vision-Smile.

17984

Each unaspiring human being
Is hopelessly and helplessly lost
Inside his mind’s darkness-cave
And his heart’s ignorance-breath.

17985

The failures of the past
Want to be your boss.
The frustrations of the present
Want to be your boss.
The visions of the future
Want to be your boss.
The Compassion-Eye of God
Wants to be your boss.
It is you who have to make the choice.
I hope that you make
The right and infallible choice.

17986

Before he entered into
The life of aspiration,
What he had and what he was:
A thunder-mind.
And now,
What he has and what he is:
A flower-heart.

17987

What weighs infinitely more
Than anything in this world?
The frustrations
Of each human being.

17988

God invites only
The sleepless gratitude-souls
To participate in
His Victory-Procession through Heaven.

17989

Each morning and each evening
May I become my heart’s
Rainbow-melody-flute.

17990

God has challenged Himself
To see perfection
In each human being.

17991

I am determined to climb over
Each and every mountain-obstacle
I encounter in my life.

17992

It seems that
All human beings suffer
From earth’s attachment-life
And Heaven’s detachment-soul.

17993

The doubting mind
Always finds mistakes
Not only
In God the creation
But also
In God the Creator.

17994

What can save us?
Our quenchless thirst
For the ever-loving
And ever-transcending Beyond.

17995

No sleepless determination
Can remain unsuccessful
And unfruitful.

17996

I can never be happy
Unless I can return my heart
To its Source:
God the infinite Compassion-Light.

17997

God-seeking eyes
I needed.
A God-loving heart
I now need,
And I shall forever need.

17998

A single Compassion-Smile from God
Lifts me up
To my summit-self-transcendence-height.

17999

My soul’s purity-fragrance-breath
Does have the capacity
To smash my mind’s attachment-chains.

18000

My Lord Supreme
Builds a peace-temple
Inside each purity-thought
Of my mind
And each aspiration-cry
Of my heart.
