Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 234
23301
What I desperately need:A life that never stops
Self-giving.
23302
When we are in our confusion-mind,We are totally lost
In our life’s blind and endless struggles.
23303
Only the heart’s mounting cryCan hear the Heavenly music
That echoes and re-echoes
In our heart-garden.
23304
The unaspiring mindIs a self-appointed
World-saviour.
The aspiring heart
Is a God-appointed
World-server.
23305
I may not know whenMy God-Hour will strike,
But I do know
That someday, somehow, somewhere
My God-Hour will strike,
And I shall be free, totally free
From my ignorance-bondage-night.
23306
HumilityIs our heart’s sweet fragrance,
And this fragrance
Spreads tranquillity and peace
Everywhere.
23307
Eternity’s DivinityAnd Eternity’s Perfection
Abide in the home of Silence.
23308
Because we ignoreGod’s Warning-Whispers,
We cannot see the new dawn,
We cannot feel the new awakening,
We cannot proceed towards our Source,
The Golden Shore of the Beyond.
23309
Each time I offer my gratitude-heartTo my Lord Beloved Supreme,
I immediately win a one-way trip
To celestial happiness.
23310
May the word “gratitude”Be found on every page
Of my heart-book.
23311
There are millions of waysTo approach God’s Heart,
But the easiest and shortest way
Is the cheerful, self-giving,
Sleepless devotion-way.
23312
Simplicity, sincerity, readiness,Eagerness and willingness
Can easily terminate
Our age-old lethargy.
23313
As our suspicion-mindIs the bearer of poison,
Even so, our faith-heart
Is the bearer of nectar.
23314
He who loves GodSleeplessly and breathlessly
Will never tremble
Before God’s Thunder-Feet.
23315
We cannot arriveAt our own pinnacle-heights
If we cannot learn to love
The Silence of God.
23316
When we dive deep within,We discover the wisdom-light
That is ancient
And at the same time new,
Ever-new.
23317
Slowly, steadily and unerringlyMy aspiration-heart,
My dedication-life and I
Are arriving at our choice destination:
Satisfaction in perfection,
Perfection in satisfaction.
23318
I finally discoveredMy Lord Supreme
In my heart’s
Gratitude-village-home.
23319
Our mind’s ignorance-exterminatorIs in our heart’s aspiration-cry
And nowhere else.
23320
When we do not pleaseOur Master Lord Supreme
In His own Way,
Our soul suffers the deepest loss.
23321
The very presenceOf a surrender-life
Rings out God’s Summit-Victory.
23322
Not the music of the mind,Not even the music of the heart,
But the music of the soul only
Can liberate our earth-bound life.
23323
God’s CompassionNever stops flowing.
It is our heart’s tears
That stop streaming.
23324
When God’s Justice-Light descends,It breaks our unwilling head
And embraces our willing heart.
23325
God never blames me,Never,
For my uselessness,
But He does blame me
For my ceaseless unwillingness.
23326
How can I ever finishThe Godward race
If my mind
Is wanting in sincerity
And if my heart
Is wanting in purity?
23327
My mind longsFor God’s constant Favour.
My heart pines
Only for a glance
From God’s Compassion-Eye.
23328
If you are a true seeker,Then every day God will bless you
Not only with a renewed promise,
But also with an extra supply
Of capacity.
23329
The aspiring heart knowsThat there can never be
Any greater miracle
Than God’s unconditional
Compassion-Sea.
23330
Challenge you mustYour heart’s insecurity,
If you want to overcome it
Once and for all.
23331
O truth-seeker,O God-lover,
A great celebration awaits you
When you reach the unparalleled
Heaven-summit.
23332
A seeker has only two genuine friends:His aspiration-cry
And his dedication-smile.
23333
No more shall I useMy present address.
I shall use from now on
A totally new address:
God’s Oneness-Heart-Home.
23334
I am definitely proud ofAnd pleased beyond measure with
My God-dreaming heart.
23335
God HimselfMost eagerly and most proudly
Protects
My heart’s climbing aspiration-flames.
23336
Finally my mind’s desperationHas eagerly turned to
My heart’s aspiration.
23337
He who praysA parrot-prayer
Meets with eventual frustration.
23338
If you have a peace-hunger-heart,Then God’s Compassion-Eye
Will never fail you — never!
23339
God is extremely pleased with me,For today I have made my heart
A sincere God-searchlight.
23340
The smiles of my soulAre making my life divine.
The tears of my heart
Are making my life perfect.
23341
When desire takes my lifeTo the land of nowhere,
God blessingfully allows me
To make a U-turn
And arrive at my heart’s
Aspiration-home.
23342
From time immemorialMan has been building temples
To worship God.
But God made only one temple,
And that temple
Will forever and forever stand.
What is that temple?
Man’s aspiration-heart.
23343
If our earth is still beautiful and pure,It is all due to the tears
Of God’s loving saints
And God’s fulfilling servers.
23344
Everything else may betray you,Everything else may fool you
And fail you,
But never, never
Your purity-flooded aspiration-heart.
23345
God’s most favourite soulsAre those
Who sleeplessly and breathlessly
Pray to Him
To take rest.
23346
God’s CompassionAnd God’s Forgiveness
We shall never be able to escape,
No matter how many ways
We try.
23347
Because I consciously wallowIn the pleasures of ignorance,
True happiness,
Illumining happiness,
Fulfilling happiness
Has left me far behind.
23348
Before my final curtain goes down,I must once, in all sincerity,
Pray to God:
“Let Thy Will be done.”
23349
Whenever I even thinkOf making unconditional surrender,
God immediately applauds my resolution
To the skies.
23350
Our minds throngTo humanity’s appreciation.
Our souls throng
To God’s Compassion.
23351
O seeker,Never, never, never slacken
In your God-realisation
And God-manifestation-determination.
23352
The depression of the vitalIs an early death.
The aspiration of the heart
Is the longest life.
23353
Finally I have come to realiseThat I do not need a mind
To understand God.
What I need is a heart
That is always ready
To love and serve God
And to feel His Compassion-Delight
In His own Way.
23354
O my Lord Supreme,Do bless me
With a tear-filled voice
That will never stop singing
Your Victory-Songs.
23355
My life’s teeming imperfectionsAre fading away
Precisely because I am ceaselessly praying
To my Lord Supreme to bless me
So that I can be a perfect instrument
Of His choice Will.
23356
Alas,How little I know of God.
Alas, alas, alas,
How rarely I want to know
About God.
23357
All the world-conquerorsHave vanished in the dust of time,
But the world-lovers
Will forever and forever
Be cherished and treasured
By Mother Earth.
23358
He who walks on the pathOf self-importance
Is diving into his own
Abysmal abyss.
23359
My Lord Beloved Supreme,I want to bow not to You
But to the Illumination-Dust
Of Your Feet.
23360
What is a true prayer?A true prayer
Is a heart-giving song
To the Lord Supreme.
23361
No sincere prayerWill ever breathe in vain —
Never, never!
23362
There was a timeWhen I became a victim
To desire-night.
But now I am a faithful comrade
Of my aspiration-heart
And my dedication-life.
23363
Your life has become God-fulnessPrecisely because your heart
Is replete with God-thankfulness.
23364
Because of my constant self-offeringTo the Will of my Lord Supreme,
I have now won
The fellowship of the immortals.
23365
Each and every aspiration-flameOf my heart
Is an unparalleled
God-achievement-smile.
23366
When I feelThat I am not of God
And I am not for God,
I become not just a failure,
But total failure incarnate.
23367
A cry of Mother EarthAnd a smile of Father Heaven
Will forever remain
My best friends.
23368
My soul tells meThat there is only one way
To soar through Eternity’s infinite Silence,
And that is through
Conscious and constant self-offering.
23369
I have freed myselfFrom fate’s firm grip
Just by becoming
A God-devotion-magnet.
23370
If your heart is deeply rootedIn humility,
Your life will be blessed
With Divinity’s Prosperity.
23371
If you are a God-dreamer,Then you are at God’s Door.
If you are a God-lover,
Then you are inside God’s Room.
If you are a God-server,
Lo and behold,
The world sees you conversing
With your Lord Beloved Supreme.
23372
My Lord Beloved Supreme tells meThat I am a beautiful flower
Of His Dream
And I am a most delicious fruit
Of His Reality.
23373
Only when my life is dressedIn silence-peace
Does God allow me to sing for Him
And to dance at His Feet.
23374
When I pray to GodAnd meditate on God
Happily and self-givingly,
Time proudly lengthens itself
For me.
23375
If it is a true aspiration-heart,Then it is bound to embody
A series of surprises,
Both earth-illumining
And earth-fulfilling.
23376
My Lord SupremeFinds my gratitude-heart
Singularly attractive.
23377
Abandon the ancient roadsThat wanted to lead you to God
Through self-torture.
Accept the new road of life-acceptance
And God-service in man
To please God
And to please the Real in you.
23378
The breath of my gratitude-heartIs the abode
Of my Lord’s Promise supreme
For world-transformation.
23379
Millions of God-hungry hearts:Where are they?
They are in God’s own
Satisfaction-Heart-Pride.
23380
O my desire-mindHow do you dare to expect
My aspiration-heart
To play with you
On your muddy shore?
23381
God’s Compassion-StationAlways invites aspiration
To broadcast its inspiring messages.
23382
Human life will forever remainLost in unsolved mysteries
If human life does not aspire
To please and fulfil God
In God’s own Way.
23383
Before we entered into the spiritual life,We had not the slightest idea
What role insecurity plays.
Now that we are in the spiritual life,
We see that insecurity
Is nothing short of a dictator
Who leads us to our destination:
Doom.
23384
There was a timeWhen I was an unfortunate
God-fearing thought,
But now I am a fortunate
God-loving, God-serving
And God-fulfilling will.
23385
My mind always cries to know.My heart always cries to feel.
My soul always cries to become
One with God, one in God
And one for God.
23386
You have simply no ideaHow much God loves
The beauty and fragrance
Of your heart-smiles.
23387
I have many friendsHere on earth and there in Heaven,
But my beloved soul-bird-friend
Shall forever and forever remain
Unparalleled.
23388
Do you know when my heartStarted praying to God?
My heart started praying to God
Only when my all-loving soul
Pinched my heart to wake up
And see the beauty
Of a new horizon.
23389
My soul is always thrilledTo see God,
No matter how many times a day
God allows my soul
To be in His Presence.
23390
O truth-seeker,It is high time for you to see
That the race of the mind
Is undoubtedly a backward race.
23391
Although my mind daily,Without fail,
Discourages my heart,
My heart sleeplessly
Continues to look for God.
23392
“Love everyone”:What does it mean?
It means
Love and love God,
Only God,
In everyone.
23393
My Lord Supreme,I am praying to You
Not for a towering mind
But for a flowering heart.
23394
The day I do not seeMy soul’s rainbow-ecstasy,
I feel that day
Is completely lost.
23395
My mind sings many songsTo demand God’s Appreciation.
My heart sings only one song —
Surrender —
But that song is treasured
By God Himself.
23396
Whenever I do somethingGreat and good,
God gives me immediately
A victory-trophy.
Can I not offer God
At least one trophy
To make Him happy?
And what is that trophy?
My cheerful gratitude-heart.
23397
Each aspirant will one day have to sitFor a God-satisfaction-examination.
Each examination is totally different,
But in the end,
The result-destination
Is always the same.
23398
It is never what the mind knowsThat counts.
It is ever what the heart gives
That counts.
23399
There was a timeWhen nothing was able to change
My life-course.
Now, just a peace-drop
Has changed my entire life-course.
23400
God-realisationFor each and every human being
Is as certain
As the breaking of tomorrow’s dawn.
