Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 212

Return to the table of contents

21101

If you can love the power
Of the Eternal Now-Time,
Then God will lead you
To His Infinity’s Satisfaction-Clime.

21102

God loves you proudly
Because you are your mind’s
Clarity-day.
God will love you proudly
If you can become your heart’s
Hospitality-sun.

21103

The divine in us surrenders
To God the Faith.
The undivine in us surrenders
To man the disbelief.

21104

God will proudly feed your life
Only when your mind wants
What your heart needs.

21105

My heart,
You were not born with insecurity.
Where did you get it from, where?

My mind,
You were not born with uncertainty.
Where did you get it from, where?

My vital,
You were not born with restlessness.
Where did you get it from, where?

My body,
You were not born with idleness.
Where did you get it from, where?

My life,
You were not born with imperfection.
Where did you get it from, where?

21106

If you want your heart
To compose a song on delight,
Then you and your mind
Must not mix with the ignorance-night
Of the unaspiring world.

21107

If you think that you are
Your heart’s compassion-sea,
Then offer at least a few compassion-waves
To the unaspiring man-made world.

21108

Doubt invades your mind
Because you do not ask your heart
To sweeten your mind,
And you do not ask your soul
To enlighten your mind.

21109

If it is truth,
Then it has to be thoroughly enjoyable.
If it is falsehood,
Then it is sleeplessly abominable.

21110

My aspiration-life,
On you move!
Cling not to your old glories’
Summit-crown.

21111

If your mind is a blunt indifference
To your desire-success,
Then your heart’s aspiration-progress-flower
Is going to blossom.

21112

What is a desire-life
If not a birthless and deathless life
Of waiting?

21113

If your outer life is proud
Of your long-term determination,
Then make your inner life a God-cry
Of sleepless aspiration.

21114

How long can your mind remain
In endlessly frustration-supported stupidity?
When will you look at your God-awakened,
Satisfaction-manifested beauty?

21115

Each unrevealed truth
Is a rainbow
Of unmanifested achievement-divinity.

21116

What I need is either
A cheerful Smile or a hurtful Frown
From my Lord Beloved Supreme
To take away immediately
The long-cherished groans
Of my doubt-cherishing mind.

21117

O human mind, do tell me
In which way are you better
Than a tempest-trembling
Uncertainty-tree?

21118

If your heart is not surcharged
With an indomitable will,
You may not be able to conquer
The inevitable,
But you can certainly postpone
The fully-prepared arrival
Of the inevitable.

21119

My sleepless aspiration-heart,
God the birthless Compassion
And God the deathless Compassion
Are yours for the asking.

21120

Keep your heart’s
Obedience-door open.
Lo, God’s Golden Shore
Is beckoning you.

21121

God transcends His highest Height
So that the darkest night
Of the human mind
Can be better examined
And illumined.

21122

Opportunity
Is a most precious gift.
The seeker’s surrender-life
Cheerfully accepts this gift.

21123

Attention, attention —
This is what the human in us wants.
Participation, participation —
This is what the divine in us wants.

21124

A heart of gratitude
Is a delightful responsibility
And a fruitful divinity.

21125

At long last
My Absolute Lord Supreme
Has come into my life
To abscond with my ignorance-night.

21126

Yesterday I became
My mind’s desire-storms.
Today I have become
My heart’s aspiration-blossoms.
Tomorrow I shall become
My soul’s realisation-sun.

21127

Time is always too short.
Aspiration is always too weak.
Realisation is always too self-giving,
Furthermore, all-giving.

21128

The Master’s final request:
Either dive deep within
To please me,
Or go away, far away from me,
To please yourself.

21129

My Lord’s Compassion-Smile
Is at once
My mind’s inspiration-garden
And my heart’s aspiration-flower.

21130

When I enter into
My heart’s silence-temple,
Even before I call,
God replies.

21131

Dedication creates order
From chaos.
Aspiration creates perfection
In order.

21132

Your doubt-mind has blinded
Your vision-eye.
Therefore, you do not see
When God paints a rainbow
Across your devotion-flooded heart-sky.

21133

Confidence comes from commitment.
Commitment comes from aspiration.
Aspiration comes from compassion.
Compassion comes from vision.

21134

When God asks you to try,
You must realise
That not only does He know
What He is talking about,
But He also knows
That you do have the capacity.

21135

When the physical body
Does not aspire,
It is definitely among
The living dead.

21136

Fortify your fragile faith.
God will grant you
His Infinity’s Oneness-Heart.

21137

Without experience-flames,
How can I increase my faith in God?
Without realisation-delight,
How can I carry man’s life-burden
Into God’s Heart-Garden?

21138

You do not have to surrender
To world-cynicism.
You do not have to fight
Against world-criticism.
God will do the needful for you.
He only asks you not to belong
To ignorance-era.

21139

God believes in
Your eventual God-realisation,
Although you do not have
Even an iota of belief in Him.

21140

Blunders are inevitable:
So says the human mind.
Perfection is inevitable:
So knows the divine heart.

21141

Your mind’s desire-attack
Is a very old story.
Your heart’s desire-conquest
Is today’s plus tomorrow’s
New story.

21142

There is no substitute
For the mind’s
Constant and willing faith-experience
In God’s life-transforming Light.

21143

God is asking you
To be true to your own heart first.
Listen to Him
If you want Him to tell you
What you are supposed to do next.

21144

God calls.
Man’s heart devotedly answers.
Man’s mind proudly does not answer.

21145

A purity-gratitude-heart
Is a supreme gift of God
And not man’s creation.

21146

Only one thing I need:
The assurance
Of God’s constant Forgiveness.

21147

A big mind
Cannot receive satisfactorily.
A small heart
Cannot give unconditionally.

21148

Two Eternity’s rivals:
Heaven’s soul-bird
And
Earth’s life-cage.

21149

My mind’s thousands of years
And my heart’s just tomorrow
Are the same.

21150

A doubting mind
Is always in transit
To nowhere.

21151

Alas, I do not know
How many centuries
Will dawn for me
Before my life becomes
A gratitude-heart.

21152

By feeding your imaginary sufferings,
You are separating your life
From God’s Compassion-Eye.

21153

God observes
His happy Birthday
Inside my gratitude-heart-bud.

21154

I have known about my surrender-life
For many incarnations.
But where is it?
Does anybody know
When or where it will come
And befriend me?

21155

Like my soul,
I wish to be
An eternal optimist,
Not just
A long-term optimist.

21156

O life’s misfortune
And tragedy-stories,
I really do not want
To be fed by you
Any more.

21157

With my prayer-mind
And meditation-heart
I am going to transform my life
Into a temple of God-songs.

21158

Everything that God does
For our aspiration-heart
And dedication-life
Is unconditional.
It is simply impossible for God
To be otherwise.

21159

Not the loftiest experience,
But God-realisation itself,
Is the ultimate reach
Of meditation’s longest arms.

21160

Each good thought
And each good action
Is indeed a descendant
Of God’s Heart-Fragrance.

21161

Neither God nor even death
Wants to hear from me.
I am worthless and useless
In every way!

21162

O disobedience-fool,
Will you ever know
That you do not even care
To understand yourself?

21163

If you really want to realise God,
Then do not postpone your obedience
Until the endless tomorrow.

21164

I am so happy,
O my mind,
That your disobedience-life
Is so swiftly sinking and dying.

21165

I become a burden to myself
When I want to see everything
In my own way,
And when I want everything to be done
In my own way.

21166

God smiles at me
Most compassionately
And most proudly
When I stretch my heart-dreams
To the sky.

21167

O my mind,
I am not an inch from the truth
When I tell you that
You are nothing other than
A non-practising perfectionist.

21168

Each time I do selfless service,
God blessingfully tells me
To enjoy a feast
Of His Compassion-Smiles.

21169

The seeker who wants nothing
From this world
Is equally as wise
As the one who loves
And wants to depend
Only on God’s Compassion.

21170

An unaspiring person
Is he who is sustained
By lifeless dreams
And fruitless hopes.

21171

My Lord Supreme
Every day commands me
To nurse
My soul’s sleepless thirst.

21172

Try to please God
In God’s own Way.
Otherwise, your life is bound
To remain saddled
With unfulfilled expectations.

21173

You are bound to dance
With your mind’s tragedies
If you do not bring into your mind
Your soul’s wisdom-flooded light.

21174

You want to know how
I remain spiritually so rich.
I remain spiritually rich
By keeping careful watch
Over my mind-thief.

21175

O my mind,
Be reasonable, be wise,
Be truth-searching
And do not try to live on
Tomorrow’s extravagant hopes.

21176

Although a true seeker
Does not invite disobedience,
Disobedience often visits him
Uninvited.

21177

O seeker,
Ignorance never falls asleep.
Therefore, do not think of
Working for God
When ignorance is asleep.

21178

He who lives all the time
In the heart and for the heart
Is definitely suited to serve God
In a very special way.

21179

The absurdities of imperfection
Do not leave us on their own.
At every moment
Consciously and heroically
We have to cast them
Far away from us.

21180

I am sure
There shall come a time
When my mind’s disobedience
Will be sick of itself.

21181

God swims in the sea of tears
When I desperately desire
To outshine others.

21182

Obedience
Has a few select companions:
The sincerity of the mind,
The purity of the heart
And the spontaneity of life.

21183

You will have
Life-transforming experiences
Only when God-thoughts
Inundate you with joy,
Just as gold delights
A deplorable miser.

21184

O idleness,
You steal my hours,
You steal my days.
But I know that very soon
My soul’s dynamic energy
Will catch you red-handed
And energise you
To become a choice instrument
Of God.

21185

Alas, we keep
Our aspiration-heart-eye closed
And blame God unnecessarily
For not blessing us
With His Compassion-Eye-Smiles.

21186

Every day
I remind my unaspiring mind
Of its worthless thoughts
And useless actions.

21187

The vital and the mind
Every day ask the heart
For advice.
But alas, they never take it.

21188

The depression of the mind
Finds it very easy
To make friends with
The aggression of the vital.

21189

God allows me to share
Private moments with Him
Only when I become
A Heaven-climbing heart.

21190

What I like best about God
Is His Compassion-Eye,
For His Compassion-Eye
And His Forgiveness-Heart
He has kept inseparable.

21191

My first name
Is hope.
My middle name
Is determination.
My surname
Is self-offering.

21192

We cannot even properly imagine
The gap that lies between
Our planning mind
And our serving heart.

21193

From now on
I would like to be soulfully involved
Only in the activities
In which my aspiring heart excels.

21194

To make this world really happy,
I must keep my heart-garden safe
Every day
From my mind’s impurity.

21195

Who knows if the “golden days”
Were really golden?
But we do know that the present days
Are not only challenging
But also devastating.

21196

Your latest fall took place
When you deliberately belittled
The goodness
Of your God-loving soul.

21197

O disobedience, if you think
That you are enjoying yourself,
Then you may as well feel
That God is also enjoying
His indifference.

21198

The sweetness of God-devotion
Eventually conquers
The bitterness of disobedience-pride.

21199

When I say that I love God,
I immediately see
His Feet.
When I say that I need God,
I immediately marvel at
The Rainbow-Beauty
Of His Heart.

21200

My Lord, can You keep a secret?
“Certainly, My child, I can.”
My Lord, from this moment on
I shall definitely fulfil You
And please You in Your own Way
In everything that I say and do.
