Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 216

Return to the table of contents

21501

The outer dedication
And the inner improvement
Always go together.

21502

Three major steps on my inner journey:
I love God only,
I need God only,
I must fulfil God only.

21503

The mind wants to see
And believe.
The heart wants to feel
Even without seeing.

21504

You can help humanity
Only when humanity itself
Wants to live
In world-harmony.

21505

Pray and meditate
Regularly and self-givingly.
You will become your own
God-blossomed beauty.

21506

Each sincerity-cry
Will eventually become
A perfect satisfaction-smile.

21507

In the desire-life,
Individuality and universality
Never go together.
In the aspiration-life,
Transformed individuality
Becomes manifested universality.

21508

Oneness-expansion
Eventually blossoms
Into universal liberation.

21509

Renounce
The body of unreality
To become
The heart of reality.

21510

We make supersonic progress
Only when we leave behind
Our mind-jungle.

21511

The tears of my heart
Are blossoming
And illumining my desire-life.

21512

The fear of knowing God’s Will
Is taking the seeker
Farther and farther away
From God’s Compassion-Eye.

21513

May my life become
A selfless and breathless commitment
To manifest
My Lord’s Transcendence-Dreams
On earth.

21514

The Smile of God radiates
Through me
Only when I do not expect anything
From humanity.

21515

Every day
God wants me to sit
Under my life’s patience-tree
To watch my life’s
Blossoming perfection-smile.

21516

Each good thought
Is a God-messenger
Of hope, promise and progress.

21517

My heart loves, admires,
Adores and treasures
Only God-inspiration-moments.

21518

Can you not stop, O seeker,
Running on your mind-track every day
And start enjoying
Your heart-track workouts?

21519

You want to know
What happened in my life today?
God convinced me
That before long I shall become
An unconditional God-server.

21520

O my mind,
I have news for you from God.
No matter what you do
Or what you become,
My Lord Supreme will not give up on you.

21521

Only your soul’s
Silence-smile
Can quell your mind’s
Ego-roar.

21522

O my mind,
Do not destroy
The God-satisfaction-hope
Of my heart.

21523

When I am in my heart
And live only for God,
I see that every day is flooded
With God-smiling opportunities.

21524

May my breath become
A constant appeal
To God’s Compassion-Heart.

21525

Only a purity-heart
Can daily sing
Self-transcendence-songs.

21526

The body may bend
From many earth-years,
But the heart can remain always
Younger than the youngest,
Purer than the purest,
To love God, serve God
And fulfil God.

21527

Alas, when I cherish the idea
Of leaving my Master’s boat,
Do I ever,
Even for a fleeting second,
Realise that I will be compelled
To carry with me
My Master’s utterly broken heart?

21528

To catch a glimpse
Of my Master’s feet
Is infinitely more important
Than to read
A large number of books
Written by my Master himself.

21529

A mind of God-disobedience
And a heart of brooding
And ever-increasing anxiety
Can never be separated.

21530

Unwillingness,
Everything about you
Is not only unhealthy,
Poor, discouraging,
But also an eventual absurdity.

21531

O my sleepless and breathless
God-lover-soul,
Do not be disgusted
With my God-unfulfilling life.
Do not sob
For my God-runaway-thoughts.
I promise I shall someday prove to be
Your and God’s choicest instrument
And highest pride.

21532

The satisfaction of the mind
Is short-lived.
The satisfaction of the heart
Is long-lived.
The satisfaction of the soul
Is Infinity’s immortal Goal.

21533

My Beloved Supreme,
I know that I am drowning.
But I am absolutely certain
That You will never allow me
To sink.

21534

An iota of common sense
Can and will keep me
Inside my Master’s
Fragrance-heart-garden.

21535

A second-class aspiration-heart
Is not meant for me.
I shall always remain the possessor
Of a superlative-class aspiration-heart.

21536

When I was all for God,
God told me that I was a member
Of His inner Family.
Now, when I see that I am of God,
God tells me that I am not only
A member of His inmost Family
But also
His unparalleled Choice supreme.

21537

Why does God have to consult me
All the time
For everything?
Alas, why do I have
Such an absurd expectation?

21538

If I am not
A true God-lover and God-server,
Why should God be
My Heavenly need-supporter?

21539

Our imagination tells us
There are unreachable heights.
Our aspiration knows
That there can be no
Unreachable height.

21540

May my heart
Be sleeplessly hungry
For God’s Love.
May my mind
Be sleeplessly thirsty
For God’s Blessings.

21541

God the Power
Shuts my curiosity-eyes.
God the Light
Opens my ignorance-sleep-heart.

21542

Each heart-song of mine
Opens a new God-Satisfaction-Road
For me to walk along.

21543

If you do not want
Your mind’s desire-defeat,
How can you expect
Your heart’s aspiration-victory?

21544

Simplicity
Marks the first step
Of most satisfactory
Progress.

21545

To sail beyond the trouble-sea,
God-Satisfaction-responsibility
Sleeplessly I need.

21546

My soul tells me
That there can be
Nothing more natural
And more spontaneous
Than my heart’s surrender
To God’s Will.

21547

When God invites my heart,
My heart immediately accepts.
But when God invites my mind,
It foolishly rejects.

21548

Each aspiration-cry
And each dedication-smile
Is entitled to
Its own uniqueness.

21549

Disobedience,
I am not the person
To argue with you.
I am the person
To command you!

21550

I am more than ready
To be satisfied with my God-dream-life.
Let my world-reality-life
Remain where it is now.

21551

Alas, I am always found
In between
My isolated mind
And my complicated heart.

21552

God tells me that
There can be no two ways.
There is only one way
To have peace of mind,
And that way is
The sleepless God-surrender-way.

21553

When we choose to change,
God Himself helps us
Climb to the perfection-summit.

21554

What your heart desperately needs,
Your life will unmistakably get.
But it has to be
At God’s choice Hour.

21555

My Lord,
Correct my mind,
Perfect my heart
And never reject my life.

21556

No matter how many ways
Or how many times
We flatter God,
God is infinitely beyond
The snare of our flattery.

21557

God knows what proper justice is,
But He does not want to know
What proper penalty is.

21558

My self-disciplined determination
Will without fail liberate me
From my ignorance-enjoyment-slavery.

21559

In the confusion-mind-jungle
We lose the beauty of truth.
In the aspiration-heart-garden
We discover not only the beauty
But also the fragrance of truth.

21560

My God-dream-life is dying
Because I am enjoying
My mind’s ignorance-boat-ride.

21561

Never think that your vital
Is vitally important.
It is your heart that will remain
Eternally and vitally important.

21562

If you want
A certificate of appreciation
From God,
Then walk along the hope-road,
Never along the despair-road.

21563

Sometimes I surprise myself
By surrendering
My earth-bound desires
To God’s Heaven-free Satisfaction.

21564

Your mind’s persistence
And your heart’s patience
God wants to receive from you first
Before He gives you
His Life’s Perfection-Satisfaction.

21565

God is ready to give you satisfaction
Unconditionally.
But where is your heart of purity
To receive it?

21566

Only a mind of inspiration
Can electrify me.
Only a heart of aspiration
Can beautify me.
Only a life of surrender
Can satisfy me.

21567

I started my journey
With my shameless mind.
Now I see my blameless heart
Accompanying me.

21568

Alas, when will I realise
That my mind itself
Is a very old and complex problem?

21569

If your mind quotes God
With love,
Then God will quote your mind
With Pride.

21570

My heart’s unconditional surrender
To God’s Will
Will be blessed with a supersonic speed
To manifest God
In His own Way.

21571

Heaven is wise.
It instructs me to become
A sea of wisdom.

Earth is clever.
In every possible way
It distracts me.

21572

May my ignorance-enemies die
Faster than my imagination-speed.
May my friends become immortal
Faster than my imagination-speed.
May my ignorance-life end
Infinitely faster than my imagination-speed.

21573

O energy-river,
I implore you,
Do release me
From my lethargy-chains.

21574

O my Lord Supreme,
How I wish I could celebrate every day
The victory of my hope
Over my present frustration-experience.

21575

I do not want to know
What is happening in Heaven.
I do not want to know
What is happening on earth.
But I do want to know
If God’s Heart still loves me.

21576

O my disobedience-mind,
I shall sacrifice
Everything that I have
And everything that I am
To conquer you
For my God-satisfaction.

21577

To love what I do
Is not the right thing.
What I must love
Is to do the right thing.
What is the right thing?
To love God’s Compassion-Eye
And Forgiveness-Heart.

21578

God will be your spokesman
When you have
A heart of patience
And a mind of tolerance.

21579

My soul’s invincible power
Has stopped my worries
And anxieties.
Therefore, I am all gratitude
To my soul.

21580

If your mind is infested
With impurity-disobedience-thoughts,
How can God’s Heart
Love your heart
And bless your life?

21581

You have read the Bible.
It has quenched
Your mind-thirst.
Now pray to the Saviour.
He will feed
Your heart-hunger.

21582

At least I have done
One divinely brave thing:
I have become
A single-track God-loving heart.

21583

I am so happy
That at long last
My heart has overthrown
My mind’s disobedience-reign.

21584

O my soul,
Where are you?
Do bring back
My Rainbow-God-Hour!

21585

For God
There is no greater sorrow
Than when I deliberately enjoy
My ignorance-sleep.

21586

Each time
I try to fulfil myself
In my own way,
I am forced to sink deep
Into the sea of misery.

21587

I cannot afford to waste time,
For God’s Heart
Is pitifully crying for me
And God’s Eye
Is sleeplessly crying for me
And beckoning me.

21588

I must realise that
An uncomely thought
In my mind
Is extremely dangerous
To my heart’s peace.

21589

I shall never, never allow
God’s Satisfaction-Hope-Candle-Flame
To die.

21590

My heart’s promise-sun
Has completely silenced
My mind’s disobedience-thunder.

21591

My Lord of Compassion
Is hastening the hour
Of tomorrow’s delight-moonrise.

21592

How can I absorb
The new life of purity
If I do not illuminate completely
The old life of impurity?

21593

If you want to sit with God
At His Round Table,
Your life has to become
More insignificant to you
Than the dust of humility.

21594

A heart of gratitude
Always represents a seeker
At his very best.

21595

We are diminishing
Our future God-manifestation-hope
By indulging
Our own self-created despair.

21596

Alas, why do I allow my mind
So often to remain
Heavy, heavier and heaviest
With ignorance-sleep?

21597

Mine is the heart
To challenge at every moment
My life’s limits.

21598

When the mind
Is drunk with power,
The God-lover-heart
Loses its life-breath.

21599

My Lord, this morning
You have energised my heart
Immeasurably.
My life shall never again become
A matter of helpless stumbling.

21600

God’s first Command:
“Come here!”
God’s second Command:
“Come nearer!”
God’s third and last Command:
“Take Me, I am all yours!”
