Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 183

Return to the table of contents

18201

My Lord, if so is Your Will,
I shall lovingly, devotedly
And unconditionally
Carry Your Message of peace
To the very ends of the earth.

18202

My Lord Supreme,
I am simply tired
Of telling You my desire-stories.
How I wish
I could sing for You
At least one aspiration-song.

18203

My Lord Supreme
Wants to share with me
Everything of His
Except
His ever-increasing world-burden.

18204

At last the impurity of the mind
Is being purified and illumined
By the self-giving seeker’s
Compassion-heart.

18205

Imperfection
Is not only an unaspiring thing
But also a dangerous thing
In life.

18206

The life of a doubting mind
Is nothing but
An unwanted self-torture.

18207

Obedience, gratitude and perfection:
Alas, will these three
Divine realities
Ever be on the rise?

18208

Religion-wrangling
Must come to an end
If our real inner life
Is to come to the fore.

18209

God does not want us
To understand anything of His.
He just wants us
To feel everything of His,
Especially His Heart.

18210

Each aspiring soul
Has to be conversant in
God’s Silence-flooded Language.

18211

The heavier
Our heart-cry-weight,
The sooner we receive
God’s Satisfaction-Pride in us.

18212

God does not want us to live
On the threshold of willingness.
He wants us to live
In the heart-home of self-givingness.

18213

A childlike surrender
Is nothing short of
Our God-confidence-life.

18214

O seeker,
There is no joy
In standing around.
Dive deep within!
You will discover
Your hidden
Life-illumining realities.

18215

Each time I offer something
To mankind
Lovingly and devotedly,
I hear the whisper
Of a God-Satisfaction-sunrise.

18216

O my doubting mind,
Can you not see
That the road you are walking on
Leads you
From nothingness to nowhere?

18217

Without the inner assurance
From God,
It is extremely difficult
For a seeker
To make swift inner progress.

18218

God and God’s Lotus-Feet
Will give you shelter.
Why do you like to roam
Inside the nowhere-mind-territory?

18219

The sanctuary of the heart
Must always be kept
Not only secret
But also sacred.

18220

O my mind,
You have neglected my body.
Because of your negligence
My vital is poiseless
And my body is helpless.

18221

The unconditional surrender-life
Of a human being
Can lighten the heavy burdens
Of the Lord Supreme.

18222

The human mind
Grudgingly waits
For God’s Compassion-arrival.

The divine heart
Eagerly waits
For God’s Compassion
And Self-giving-arrival.

18223

O my mind,
There was a time
When I valued your usefulness.
Now I see your uselessness.
Therefore,
I want to be on my own.

18224

With my heart’s surrender-dawn
I went to God,
And God proudly gave me
His Heart’s Rainbow-Blessings.

18225

O my mind,
I blame you, and nobody else,
For neglecting the wisdom-sun
And allowing it to be eclipsed.

18226

God does not want you to learn
All about human nature.
God wants you to study
Only your heart-harmony-lessons.

18227

O my dearer-than-the-dearest
And sweeter-than-the-sweetest Lord,
May I immediately respond
To Your faintest Whisper-Call.

18228

Although it took me a long time,
I am now really happy,
Now that I am firmly intent
On pleasing my Lord Supreme
In every way.

18229

I am determined to sing
My Lord’s Victory-Song
With each and every one
Of my heartbeats.

18230

Each unconditional act of a seeker
Has the capacity
To lovingly and powerfully cradle
The entire universe.

18231

My Lord Supreme,
Please advise me
How I can make up
For lost time.
“My child, do not worry.
Whenever you start,
I shall take it as the real time,
As My Heart-gladdening time.”

18232

My Lord Supreme,
When I am in the inner world,
Do give me
Capacity-quality-aspiration-cries.

18233

I am constantly amazed
At my mind’s perplexities
And my heart’s simplicities.

18234

There was a time when I cried
For fame and gold.
But now I long for
Peace and golden light.

18235

I have come to realise
That only my gratitude-heart
Can help me
On my uphill aspiration-climb.

18236

O my doubting mind,
By this time you must realise
That your home is elsewhere,
And not inside my aspiring heart.

18237

The divinity of faith
Is Eternity’s
Doubt-problem-solver.

18238

In the life of aspiration
If you use the mind
And not the heart,
Then you are bound to take
Many false starts.

18239

When my mind is all surrender
And my heart is all gratitude,
My life becomes a life
Of unending progress-surprises.

18240

Self-sacrifice-fire
Is the most effective
Life-transformation-power.

18241

When we stand upon the stage
Of oneness-love,
Fear and doubt cannot stand
Beside us.

18242

Each time I offer a good thought
To any human being,
I feel that I am carrying
The message of oneness-liberation.

18243

This world of ours
Cannot belong to
Human demand and greed.
It belongs only to
Illumining happiness
And fulfilling promises.

18244

A God-loving heart
Is undoubtedly one with
A man-serving life.

18245

Unlike my mind,
My heart loves to enjoy
The universal oneness-smile.

18246

My vital kicks and kicks
At the reality,
Only to become tired.
My vital screams and screams
At the reality,
Only to become tired.
It accomplishes nothing beautiful,
Nothing fruitful.

18247

Two times
I get real satisfaction:
Once when my mind sighs,
And once when my heart cries.

18248

My heart trembles when giant doubt
Threatens my aspiration-flight
To the uncharted inner lands.

18249

At this late hour
There is no time to waste.
Either the mind has to surrender
To the heart,
Or the mind has to remain away,
Far away,
From the beauty and purity
Of the heart.

18250

When I speak
Only from the heart,
I get an extra supply
Of confidence
To please my Lord Supreme.

18251

My Lord Supreme,
I have talked to You for a long time
All about myself.
Can You not tell me
In just a few words
What You are here on earth for?

18252

How can God-discovery
Be our birthright
When our mind is
Terribly insecure
And our heart is
Unthinkably impure?

18253

May every moment
Of my aspiration-heart
And my dedication-life
Be a satisfaction-manifestation
Of God on earth.

18254

When I am in the mind,
I tell God:
Forget me not.

When I am in the heart,
I tell God:
We shall remember each other.

18255

The human in me tells me
I cannot go any further.
The divine in me tells me:
“Keep going!
God Himself is nearing you.”

18256

The heart’s surrender
Is our God-oneness-will.
The mind’s surrender
Is a counterfeit faith.

18257

Keep singing only heart-songs
Even when you think and feel
That you cannot.

18258

Say only what you must:
You love and need God,
Only God.

18259

When your mind uses
Its own will,
It opens unconsciously
The frustration-door.

18260

If there is unity
In the heart,
Then it is easy for the mind
To cultivate integrity.

18261

Even an occasional moment
Of the mind’s inspiration
And the heart’s aspiration
Can help us bring down from Above
God-Satisfaction-Rain.

18262

If you have
A daring dream,
Then only can you have
A man-caring life.

18263

Success may depend on
Newness,
But progress always depends on
Oneness.

18264

From my heart I learn
Tolerance-songs,
And from my mind I learn
Indulgence-stories.

18265

Allow God to love you
And fulfil you
In His own Way
If you want to enjoy sleeplessly
God’s Fragrance-Breath.

18266

I shall not learn any more
The lifeless mind-stories.
I shall now study only
My sleepless heart-songs.

18267

Nothing can be more true
Than that my love of God
Comes from
God’s need for me.

18268

Now that I have uprooted
My mind’s suspicion-tree,
I am able to fathom the depth
Of my heart-hope-sea.

18269

If we befriend lethargy,
We will never be able to remove
Yesterday’s ruthless shackles.

18270

O my mind,
It seems that you are made
To doubt and fear,
And my heart is made
To be pure and sure.

18271

Meditation is the song of God
That we sing
To become a member
Of a oneness-home-world.

18272

Nobody can disappear in God.
We only appear before God
Either to love Him
Or be loved by Him
Or both.

18273

Who can keep up with God?
No, not even the God-lover
And the God-server.

18274

When your heart-room is ready
For God,
God will definitely
Bless you with
An inner inspiring shrine.

18275

If you abandon yourself
To God’s Care,
You will be able to adorn your life
With your soul’s matchless smiles.

18276

God asks me
To bury my criticism-mind
And to revive
My oneness-fulness-heart.

18277

Leave behind your old way
Of seeing the truth.
Use the new way:
Aspiration-heart-cry.

18278

God has bountifully lavished on you
His Compassion-Affection-Smiles.
Can you not accept them
With your happiness-heart?

18279

Dive deep within.
You will see that at every moment
Your soul is preparing your heart
For self-offering-delight.

18280

God does not want me
Just to feel sad
For earth-planet.
He wants me to do something
To serve her
And make her smile and smile.

18281

God-Nectar-Delight
You can drink and drink
Only when you do not question
The motives
Of God’s Love for you.

18282

God’s Compassion-Eye
Does not choose at random.
It only creates
Confidence-joy
In each and every seeker.

18283

God’s Compassion-Eye
I truly love.
God’s Forgiveness-Heart
I eagerly invoke.

18284

God is proud of you
Not because
You have done quite a few
Extraordinary things,
But because in you He sees
The loving acceptance
Of your heavy life-burden.

18285

My very love of God
Quenches my God-thirst.
My very need of God
Satisfies my God-hunger.

18286

Nothing meaningful
And fruitful
Can be replaced.
Therefore, how can
My immortality-heart
Be replaced
By my perplexity-mind?

18287

Religion-God-fighters
Are many.
Spirituality-God-seekers
Are few.
Oneness-God-lovers
Are extremely, extremely rare.

18288

On the one hand,
I do not worship my Master
Because, like me,
He has a human form.
On the other hand,
I expect everything from him,
Thinking that for me
He is the God-representative
On earth.

18289

There is not a single soul
That does not embody
God’s universal Vision-Delight
To some degree.

18290

Self-deprecation
And self-aggrandisement
Are equally unhealthy experiences
In human life.

18291

There is always an inner being
Who can and does remind us
Of the universal Presence
Of God.

18292

My mind’s ego-torture
Has no access
To my heart’s oneness-land.

18293

Each heart is undoubtedly
Divinity’s unique
Flower-fragrance.

18294

An ordinary seeker
Means
An aspiration-ascent
And descent-flight.

18295

Alas, in vain I have been trying
To free myself
From thought-trap.

18296

God wants
Each and every human being
To live in the galaxy
Of new hopes
And new promises.

18297

The mind of turbulence
I was.
The heart of tranquillity
I now am.

18298

My seeker-friend,
Do not give up
Your spiritual life.
If you give up,
Your life will be as useless
As a felled tree.

18299

My Lord Supreme,
Do save my pilgrim-life
From the tangled road
Of stark despair.

18300

Attention all hearts!
In no time God will proclaim
Your decisive and permanent victory
Over the mind.
