Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 200
19901
God’s Compassion-EyeIs the only medicine
That can cure our shattered
Aspiration-hearts.
19902
A genuine hopeIs indeed a fort
To protect us from doubt-attacks.
19903
To flyIn the sky of freedom-happiness,
What we need
Is a faith-foundation
For our life.
19904
Our heart’s tearsMust be far beyond the reach
Of our mind’s thoughts.
19905
When God descendsWith His smiling Eye,
We are supposed to ascend
With our crying heart.
19906
O seeker,Inside your gratitude-heart
There will always be ample room
For your love, devotion and surrender
To grow and glow.
19907
There is only one wayFor us to conquer
Our desire-madness,
And that way is the way
Of our aspiration-gladness.
19908
God is pitifully crying.Do you know why?
Not because
You are not surrendering
To His Will,
But because
You are not allowing your heart
To claim Him as its very own.
19909
The insecurity-maskIs larger than the largest.
Therefore, it easily hides
Our heart’s Godward aspiration-flames.
19910
The hesitation and frustrationOf the mind
Always try to devour
The aspiration-flames and dedication-drops
Of the heart.
19911
We can grow oldWith our desire-mind,
But we always remain young
And ageless
With our aspiration-heart.
19912
I have not one, but two placesTo divinely enjoy myself:
Inside my God-manifesting soul
And inside my God-dreaming heart.
19913
Your ignorance-sleepWill stop
When your genuine God-need
Starts.
19914
You are a victimTo constant helplessness
Because you are unwilling to swim
In God’s infinite Compassion-Sea.
19915
A deceptive mindIs not to be revealed.
It has to be concealed first,
And then illumined
By virtue of our prayer and meditation,
For this is the only way
God’s Dream-manifestation can take place.
19916
To climb illumination-peak,Lighten your mind-load
And brighten your heart-smile.
19917
To accompany GodOn His universal Flight,
What we need is
The beauty of daily prayers
And the fragrance of daily meditations.
19918
When I liveInside my heart’s thought-free zone,
God and His Promise-Power
Befriend me.
19919
O my mind,God wanted you to be
A purity-distributor.
Alas, you have become
An impurity-collector
Instead.
19920
No matter how strongThe mind is,
It can never deceive
The aspiration-heart
Nor force the heart to deviate
From the path of light.
19921
If it is divinity’s silence-peace,Then it can easily silence
The roaming and roaring mind.
19922
The beauty and fragranceOf surrender-meditation
Have no equal.
Matchless they always remain.
19923
The mindIs fond of success.
The heart
Is fond of progress.
The soul
Is fond of God-manifestation-promises.
19924
The power of world-meditationInforms God
About the worldwide distrust
Of Him.
19925
The resentment of the mindQuite often compels
The God-hungry heart to starve.
19926
Do not be a fool!Your self-love has no wings.
It can never fly anywhere.
It can only remain
Inside its dark prison cell.
19927
If you runWith a God-revelation-sprinter,
Then easily
You will be able to leave for good
Your mind’s ignorance-neighbourhood.
19928
My heart’sConfidence in God,
My heart’s
Conference with God,
Even my heart’s
Inference of God
Can definitely help me
To cross far beyond
All my doubt-obstacles.
19929
My soul is telling my heartTo bravely face the mind-storm.
The mind-storm is bound to subside.
19930
In your life-gardenTry to grow
As many aspiration-plants as possible,
For they will never produce
Frustration-fruits.
19931
Are you a fool?Why are you enjoying
Your aspiration-famine
And self-hate-feast?
19932
If aspiration is missing,Then hope will eventually split
Into a thousand pieces.
19933
Somehow, somewhere,I always feel there are
Truth-seekers and God-lovers
Who will manifest God on earth
Lovingly, self-givingly and unconditionally.
19934
He who lives only in the heartAnd only for his Lord Supreme
Can alone pave the way
For the rest of humanity.
19935
Our predecessors left usTheir blessing-light.
We must leave behind for our successors
Our aspiration-hearts.
19936
When aspiration disappears,Life becomes
Its endless declining slopes.
19937
You can reviveYour pristine faith
By virtue of
Your heart’s childlike cries.
19938
Alas, will there ever come a timeWhen God will discover
Inside my heart
A precious and valuable possibility?
19939
It seems to meThat my soul’s forgiveness
Has no limit,
But its patience has.
19940
A lifeWithout an aspiration-heart
Is the very beginning
Of God-Satisfaction-famine.
19941
When your disobedience-stridesAre bold and indifferent,
Your heart sinks
In the sea of nowhere.
19942
This morningI was simply amazed to see
That God was bathing
In my heart’s gratitude-tears.
19943
DoubtIs the inner sovereign;
Pride
Is the outer sovereign
In our unaspiring life.
19944
When aspiration-bird flies awayFrom our heart-nest,
Our mind’s desire-tiger
Starts devouring us.
19945
My Lord,What shall I do
To make myself happy?
“My child,
Walk beside Me,
Run with Me,
Cry and smile with Me
And for Me.”
19946
Each self-giving thoughtIs indeed
A perfection-breath-promise
Of our Lord Supreme.
19947
The soul likes to talk to usIn our own voice,
So that we can be more understanding
And more self-giving.
19948
Each soul has its unique wayTo spread God’s Light
Throughout the length and breadth
Of the world.
19949
A heart of peaceHas no equal
And will always remain
Unchallenged.
19950
When I come first in my life,And not God,
There can be no room
For my self-improvement.
19951
HeavenIs compassionate.
Earth
Is affectionate.
May my mind
Be always dispassionate.
19952
If you ever want to meetSilence,
Then never ride,
Even by mistake,
The temptation-train.
19953
May my life be foundInside my heart’s gratitude-flowers
And not inside
My mind’s ingratitude-thorns.
19954
Alas, why do you enjoyDoubt-downpour
And not faith-sea
Inside your aspiration-heart?
19955
Each self-giving thoughtIs indeed
A God-locating compass.
19956
O body,How long do you want to remain
Inside your self-chosen lethargy-prison?
19957
May my happiness-heartDecorate my life
With purity-flower-fragrance
Every day.
19958
If we do not followOur heart-guide,
Then our mind is bound to be flooded
With disappointment.
19959
The tears of my heartAre too weak to receive
The smiles of my soul.
19960
You want to knowAbout my inner journey.
My inner journey,
Right from the beginning,
Is to my mind-transformation-land.
19961
May silence beMy mind’s constant companion.
May gratitude be
My heart’s constant companion.
May service be
My life’s constant companion.
19962
Doubt and hesitationAre the two most deplorable experiences
In our human life.
19963
I have discovered in GodMy perfection-smile.
God has discovered in me
His Promise-Blossom.
19964
Each disobedience-strideIs leading us
To our unmistakable destruction.
19965
My surrender-heartHas quickly paved my way
To my Lord’s Compassion-Eye
And Protection-Feet.
19966
Not God’s Compassion-EyeBut God’s Forgiveness-Promise
Will watch over me always.
19967
Be careful,O truth-seeker and God-lover.
Every day carefully watch
Your heart’s aspiration-plant
And do the needful,
For it can any day wither.
19968
The human lifeBecomes not only meaningful
But also fruitful
Only when we sing
The deathless song
Of our aspiration-heart.
19969
An unaspiring dayIs nothing short of
A hollow emptiness-cry.
19970
A heart of devotionIs a soul of satisfaction
In the fulfilment
Of God’s Promise on earth.
19971
Where is my heart’s peace-home?Where is it?
How long can I remain
Inside the unfathomable sea
Of excruciating pangs?
19972
Doubt and suspicionAlways arrive unsolicited
And even unwelcomed.
19973
When I look at God’s Eye,I clearly see
That His Eye is made of
Compassion-Sun.
When I look at God’s Heart,
I clearly see
That His Heart is made of
Forgiveness-Ocean.
19974
There are so many thingsIn this world
That drain my heart’s joy.
Yet I have no sincere eagerness
To dissociate my life
From them.
19975
WhateverOur aspiration gives us
Is infinitely generous
And eternally free.
19976
Each good thoughtIs an inner promise
To reach God’s ultimate Height.
19977
Which heart is the bravest?Undoubtedly
The silence-flooded peace-heart
Is the bravest of all.
19978
God and God’s CompassionMay be invisible,
But they do not always remain
Unattainable.
19979
God’s Dream-loversAre those enlightened human beings
With an extraordinary
God-fulfilment-promise.
19980
Each human being has to transcendThe strong barriers of praise and scorn
To see the Face of God
And feel the Heart of God.
19981
The mind’s certaintyIs not only vulnerable
But also fragile.
19982
O suspicion-mind,How do you dare
To confine the dream
Of a soaring heart?
19983
Nothing is as essentialAs the fragrance
Of a God-manifestation-thought.
19984
Do not enter into the pastTo solve today’s problems,
But enter into the silence-heart
Of the present.
Then all your problems will be solved.
19985
My heart of aspiration-tearsWill eventually prove to be
The source of my life’s
Satisfaction-sun.
19986
To make my heart’sAspiration-joy everlasting,
I try to keep an unbreakable link
With the inner worlds.
19987
Prayer and meditationAre definitely two God-instruments.
Prayer manifests its divinity
Through cries.
Meditation manifests its divinity
Through smiles.
19988
No truth-seekerAnd no God-lover
Can ever be lost
Once they have entered
Into the realm of aspiration.
19989
The thornsTry to protect the rose.
The rose
Tries to liberate the thorns.
Similarly, fear
Tries to caution faith.
Faith
Tries to illumine fear.
19990
God will hearYour mind-prayers
If they are sincere.
God will fulfil
Your heart-meditations
If they are pure.
19991
Sleepless love, breathless devotionAnd deathless surrender
Are the secret and sacred combination
To my heart-safe.
19992
How I wish I could earnA constant
God-obedience-certificate.
19993
It is absolutely certainThat ultimately
The ignorance-lover
And the ignorance-runner in me
Will collapse.
19994
I have discarded all my old desiresExcept one:
To become an unconditional world-lover
And an unconditional man-server.
19995
We have been sufferingFrom ignorance-imperfection-illness
For millions of years.
Now God is descending
With His unconditional Love-Medicine
For our use.
19996
O my mind, how much longerCan you lead a counterfeit life?
When will you allow simplicity
And sincerity
To enter into you?
19997
When inspiration knocksAt your mind-door,
If you delay in opening the door,
You are a fool.
When aspiration knocks
At your heart-door,
If you delay in opening the door,
You are worse than useless.
19998
Unlike us,God does not believe in
Our life’s inspiration-famine.
He only believes in one thing:
Our heart’s inspiration-mountain.
19999
No other power,Only purity’s oneness-power,
Can erase the deplorable
And even irrevocable past.
20000
Each soulIs divinely special,
Each heart
Is divinely special,
Each life
Is divinely special
Only if we know
That we are growing into
An irresistible God-Satisfaction.
