Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 229

Return to the table of contents

22801

A devotion-heart
Every day runs an inner marathon
Happily, prayerfully and self-givingly.

22802

Peace and God
Came and went, alas,
When my heart and my life
Were fast asleep.

22803

A climbing heart
Reaches God’s Summit-Satisfaction-Heights
Sooner than anything else.

22804

To have peace of mind,
You must take God always
As He is.

22805

There is no inner illness on earth
That cannot be cured
With the streaming tears
Of the heart.

22806

Obstacles
Existed, exist and will always exist
In the mind
Unless and until
We make our God-surrender complete.

22807

My sadness-eyes
To Heaven I offer daily.
My madness-eyes
To earth I offer daily.
My happiness-eyes,
Alas, I have long lost —
I hope not forever.

22808

My heart’s sleepless obedience
And my Lord’s endless Satisfaction
Are interdependent.

22809

God does not want us
To crucify
Our life’s ignorance-night.
He wants us
To purify and beautify
Our life’s ignorance-night.

22810

O my self-importance,
I have had enough of you.
Now leave me alone!

O my God-dependence,
Do hasten your arrival.
I am in sleepless expectation!

22811

We are all God-representatives,
But because of doubting minds
And fearful hearts
We fail to know what we truly are.

22812

Today
I do not know why and how
My willingness-eagerness-heart
Is overcast
By my doubt-darkness-mind.

22813

There can be no wall of separativity
Between the mind’s clarity
And the heart’s purity.

22814

If you want to be captured,
Then allow yourself
To be captured by ambition,
And not by lethargy.

22815

Each individual seeker
Is blessed with
An inner doubt-devouring faith.

22816

Ego and ego’s loud bark
Always
Remain inseparable.

22817

If you are a seeker
Of the highest Truth,
Then there shall come a time
When you will no longer remain
A prisoner of your fate.

22818

O my Lord Supreme,
Do give me back
Only one thing:
My soul’s vision-eye.

22819

God does not want me to offer
My sad eyes to Heaven’s Light,
But He wants me to open
My happy heart to Heaven’s Light.

22820

Nothing can be more beautiful
Than my heart’s gratitude-tears
When I place them at the Feet
Of my Lord Supreme.

22821

It is never too late
To offer our doubting mind
To our Lord Supreme
For its radical transformation.

22822

What can you expect from surrender?
You can expect many things —
Almost everything.
The easiest way
To make your obstacles and hurdles
Fade away
Is to be a constant surrender-will
To the Will of the Supreme.

22823

When we please God
In His own Way,
God immediately blesses us
With a torrential downpour
Of His Affection,
Sweetness
And Fondness.

22824

A heart and its purity
Must always remain
Two inseparable companions.

22825

What we all need
Is a doubt-defying
Inner ascent.

22826

Today, like other days,
I must not try to fool God
With my insincerity-mind,
Impurity-heart and ingratitude-life.

22827

Self-importance is a game
That we have played
For a very, very long time.
God-reliance is a new game.
Let us play this game
Forever and forever.

22828

May my heart’s love
Always burn
Free from self-doubt.

22829

When we powerfully aspire,
All our heart’s messages
Kindle a fire
Of inner illumination in us.

22830

My Lord Supreme,
Do give me the capacity
To speak only with Your Breath
Inside Your Universal Heart.

22831

Every day is a step
Into the unknown
If we live in the mind.
But every day can be a step
Into the eagerly anticipated
If we live in the heart
Of our self-offering.

22832

He whose mind is wanting
In imagination
Will never be able to succeed
In life.

22833

Of all virtues,
Obedience
Will forever remain
Unparalleled.

22834

O mind,
Why do you think
That you were made
Only to think?
You were made to aspire.
You were made to offer yourself
Clearly and constantly
To the ocean of the heart.

22835

God uses His Express Train
To come and meet us
Only when our heart
Is all eagerness
And our mind
Is all willingness
To receive Him.

22836

There are many who would like to be
The keeper of my heart-key.
But I shall accept only
God’s Compassion-Eye
As the keeper of my heart-key.

22837

Only two things we need
To greet God face to face:
A life of ceaseless surrender
And a heart of breathless gratitude.

22838

The “Yes” of my mind
Is a powerful choice.
The “Yes” of my heart
Is a beautiful voice.

22839

Each good thought that we cherish
Comes directly from
God’s Dream-manifesting World.

22840

When we are in the soul’s world,
We sing and dance
Not only with our possibility-hopes,
But also with our inevitability-promises.

22841

A God-oneness-heart
Is always loved
By Infinity’s Peace
And Immortality’s Bliss.

22842

Unless and until we arrive
At our inner frontiers,
We cannot have abiding peace.

22843

We take great strides
To fulfil our desires,
But not to overcome
Our ignorance-life.

22844

Mine is the heart
That is always inspired
To go far beyond the domain
Of the limitation-mind.

22845

O noiseless foot of time,
Where are you?
My heart is longing to follow you
Lovingly and prayerfully.

22846

It is not so easy
To sit on the wisdom-chair of life
All the time.
But it is definitely possible
To see the divine, only the divine,
In all our actions.

22847

If the doubts of the mind
Are close to us,
Then God’s Compassion-Eye to protect us
Is infinitely closer.

22848

When my body runs,
My soul jumps,
And my Lord Supreme sings and dances
With enormous Delight.

22849

Let us try to live
In a oneness-world
So that insecurity and jealousy
Cannot blindfold
Our Heaven-climbing aspiration-eyes.

22850

Alas, we always broadcast
Our own achievement-glories,
But we never appreciate,
Admire and extol
The Compassion-Beauty
Of our Beloved Lord’s Eye.

22851

The sweetness-fragrance
Of our aspiration-life
And our dedication-life
Will never have a parallel.

22852

If the dreamer in you
Is not your soul,
If the lover in you
Is not your heart,
If the sacrificer in you
Is not your life,
Then your ultimate failure
Is destined.

22853

The chains of oneness-love
Do not bind,
But strengthen,
Illumine and fulfil us.

22854

Every day we need a fresh dream
To enter into
God’s Perfection-Satisfaction-Kingdom.

22855

When we love God prayerfully
In God’s own Way,
We can fathom the depth
Of the ineffable.

22856

No more teeming problems
Will be able to crowd
Along my life’s path,
For I can clearly see
That a new age of love and promise
Is dawning within me.

22857

Peace never comes to me alone.
It comes with either
Its ever-blossoming silence
Or its ever-manifesting delight.

22858

Our Lord Supreme
Not only acknowledges
Our surrender smilingly,
But also welcomes it
With boundless joy.

22859

Neither the inner duty
Of God-aspiration,
Nor the outer duty
Of God-dedication
Should be kept waiting.

22860

Disobedience
Is its own failure.
Disobedience
Is its own tragedy.
Plus, disobedience
Is its own total destruction.

22861

You tell me
That God does not love me.
I tell you, “So what?”
You tell me
That God does not need me.
I tell you, “So what?”
God may not love me;
God may not need me.
But do I love God?
Do I need God?
Yes!
Yes!
This is the only thing I want to hear
At every moment
From my aspiration-heart
And my dedication-life.

22862

Obedience and peace
Belong to
An affection-flooded family.

22863

For a long time
Speech was my only teacher.
Now I have a totally new teacher,
Silence,
And this teacher I shall keep
Forever and forever.

22864

True, God’s Justice-Light
From time to time forgets me,
But never His Compassion-Height.

22865

Each blossoming century
Begins with a new Hope
From God’s Heart
And a new Promise
From God’s Eye.

22866

Today I am praying to God
To punish me and my mind severely
If we continue to deceive the world
Around us and within us.

22867

Every day,
In the small hours of the morning,
God eagerly waits to hear from my soul
The very latest details
About my body, vital, mind and heart.

22868

I have two hopes:
God-realisation-hope
And God-manifestation-hope.
May these two hopes
Never wither.

22869

Sound comes to me
From the house of the mind.
Silence comes to me
From the home of the soul.

22870

To destroy another’s hope
Is nothing but
An unforgivable crime.

22871

Real satisfaction
Is attainable
Only by my oneness-heart
With God’s Will.

22872

I celebrate
My sound-life-victories.
God celebrates
My silence-eye-beauty.

22873

I give God what I have:
My questioning mind.
God gives me what He has:
His answering Heart.

22874

He who does not practise spirituality
Will suffer from inner paralysis
Without fail.

22875

My heart’s willingness
And my life’s competence
Are found together always.

22876

My Lord’s Compassion-Eye-Smile
Is the master key
To every crying heart.

22877

My soul inspires me
And tells me
Not to be afraid of
The God-Summit-Heights.

22878

There is no height
That cannot be reached
With our life’s
God-surrender-wings.

22879

God-inspiration-mind,
God-aspiration-heart
And God-manifestation-life
Are three inseparable friends.

22880

In the small hours of the morning,
My soul awakens
My sleeping God-hunger-heart.

22881

No matter how sweet
Our old thoughts are,
They are not powerful enough
To show us a new way
To arrive at our destination.

22882

When my mind tells me God-stories,
I fall asleep immediately.
When my heart sings God-songs for me,
I not only remain fully awake,
But also enjoy them immensely.

22883

O heights of superiority-mind,
You are indeed worthless and useless!
O abyss of inferiority-life,
You are equally worthless and useless!

22884

Only deep meditation
Knows what the deepening silence
Of the Beyond is.

22885

My Lord Supreme tells me
That there is nothing
And there can be nothing
Beyond my heart’s aspiration-reach.

22886

Only a surrender-heart
Knows how to breathe in
The freedom of Heaven.

22887

My heart strongly feels
That my mind’s negativity-death-hour
Will before long strike.

22888

Not only God the Compassion
But also God the Justice
Dearly loves my obedience-heart.

22889

There shall definitely come a day
When the beauty and divinity
Of spirituality
Will guide and lead the entire world.

22890

This moment my heart lives
In sorrow-whispers
From below.
The next moment my heart lives
In smile-whispers
From Above.

22891

My God-love-heart-power
Has drastically reduced
My body’s sleep-hour.

22892

Mind-improvement
For God-realisation
Is the most difficult miracle
Of all miracles.

22893

My enthusiasm-mind
Has immensely increased
The beauty of my life’s
Aspiration-flames.

22894

Each time I sing
A God-surrender-song,
My heart dives into
God’s Oneness-Satisfaction-Heart.

22895

Living is nothing short of dying
When love for God-Light
Is missing.

22896

O my Lord Supreme,
I need only one thing from You:
Do play on my heart-swing
At least five minutes a day!

22897

If you follow God
With your heart’s devotion-steps,
God will turn around
And bless you
With His Victory’s Fragrance-Garland.

22898

Smile, smile, smile
At your mind
As often as possible.
Your smiling will considerably reduce
Your mind’s tearing tension.

22899

When we offer God
Our purity-heart,
God invites us to come and play
In His beauty-flooded
Heart-Garden.

22900

When God’s Name echoes and re-echoes
In our aspiration-heart
And receptivity-life,
God-realisation does not remain
A far cry.
