Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 242
24101
The real happinessIs an insatiable hunger
For sleepless God-Satisfaction
In God’s own Way.
24102
My mind waitsFor the return of God’s Power.
My heart waits
For the return of God’s Peace.
24103
Our Lord Supreme tells usThat He wants to be sought
And not to be bought.
24104
The surrender beyond all surrendersIs our constant willingness
To please God in His own Way.
24105
God-CompassionIs necessary.
God-obedience
Is more than indispensable.
24106
Expectation and despairAlways move together,
Although they do not care for each other
At all.
24107
God has been waitingFor a long, long time
To greet my eagerness-heart.
24108
There are many waysTo make God smile,
But the easiest way
Is to tell God sincerely,
“You are my All,
My Eternity’s All.”
24109
There are many enemies I have,But I feel that expectation
Is my worst enemy.
24110
A heart of faithIs not a fairytale.
A heart of faith
Is the beauty and perfection
Of the angelic world.
24111
It is simply impossible to createAn anxiety-worry-free territory
Inside one’s mind.
24112
A transformation-lifeIs within the reach
Of every human being.
24113
Today we call itThe darkest night.
Tomorrow that very thing
We will call the brightest dawn.
24114
GratitudeIs the very breath
Of our constant love of God.
24115
God asks usNot to think of the Goal.
He just asks us
To take a first step.
24116
God has quite a fewClosely-guarded secrets.
The most important one
Is man’s unexpected total transformation.
24117
A goalless seekerWill eventually have frustration
As his sad finish.
24118
If you want to be another God,Then renounce your life
Of pleasure-illusion.
24119
Each and every human beingWill realise God eventually.
But if one wants to expedite
One’s God-journey,
Then one has to take God-choice
As the first and foremost choice.
24120
The art of self-givingIs, indeed, a supreme promoter
Of God-manifestation
Here on earth.
24121
God the CompassionKnows when to caress our hearts.
God the Justice
Knows when to smite our minds.
24122
God never justifies Himself,For He knows that in the end
We are bound to justify Him ourselves.
24123
What is enmity?Enmity is nothing other than
The inner wrestling of human beings.
24124
O my mind,No matter how many times
You refuse to be transformed,
There shall come a time
When you are bound to be transformed —
Of course, at God’s choice Hour!
24125
To strengthen our capacitiesWe need assistance from two divine helpers:
A sympathy-heart
And an encouragement-hand.
24126
My love of GodHas no need of Heaven’s Bliss,
For my love of God
Itself is the highest Bliss.
24127
When we aspireMost sincerely and most soulfully,
We come to realise
That there is no such thing
As an unattainable goal.
24128
God tells the human mind,“My ignorance-child,
You are hating the world today,
But tomorrow I shall change your hatred
Into amusement-laughter.”
24129
Although we may not agree,According to God
Everything a genuine God-lover has within
Is lovable.
24130
Each good thoughtImmediately opens
The gate of inner strength.
24131
The shortest short-cutTo Heaven’s highest Height
Is our sleepless and breathless self-giving
To the Will of our Lord Supreme.
24132
My Lord tells meThat for the fastest progress
In my spiritual life
I have no need for the past or the future.
24133
When God clothes HimselfIn a physical body,
He is not only misunderstood
But also ridiculed
By humanity.
24134
My Lord Supreme,I pray to You to bless my gratitude-heart-bird
With the strongest wings
To fly at every moment
In the sky of Your Compassion-Light.
24135
Do not try to bribe Fate;You will fail!
Do not try to chase Fate;
You will fail!
Try to conquer Fate;
You will succeed,
For success is your ultimate birthright.
24136
God within meIs not the critic
But the audience,
Filled with curiosity and concern.
24137
Nobility in the mindAnd generosity in the heart
Are two most essential friends
That make our spiritual progress
Faster than the fastest.
24138
What God finds difficult to pardonIs not our misdeeds
But our unwillingness to confess.
24139
My Lord,Do not allow my tiny aspiration-sun
Either to fall asleep
Or to be eclipsed!
24140
O my inspiration-mind,O my aspiration-heart,
I want you both to work together.
Never quarrel, never!
24141
God the Justice we can never bribe —No, not even God the Compassion.
Why?
Because He has not yet developed
That weakness.
24142
God does not like to beOn the side of the past.
He does not like to be
On the side of the future either.
He likes only to be
On the side of the present.
24143
My Lord Supreme,Keep me awake all the time
So that I can fulfil You
Whenever Your Command comes.
24144
My Lord,I do not want to remain
Inside any man-made pocket.
I want to be always
Inside Your Heart-Pocket.
24145
There is nothingThat is not within the reach
Of an aspiring human being.
24146
Problems there are,But they do not have to exist
Any longer
If we make our surrender
Absolutely complete.
24147
The darkest nights of the mindMust eventually surrender
To the illumination
Of the brightest dawns.
24148
My Lord Supreme,I am offering my gratitude-breath
To Your Eternity’s Patience-Life.
24149
Upon mankind’s obedience-rockOnly
Can a peace-world ever be built.
24150
PromiseIs only a first step,
And not the goal.
24151
Today’s God-realisationWill definitely add to
Tomorrow’s God-manifestation.
24152
Two inconstant realities:My self-doubt
And my self-assertion.
24153
I am preciousIn God’s Eyes
Only when my heart becomes
Sleeplessly gracious.
24154
As century after century dawns,Humanity’s heart
Will eventually awaken
To Divinity’s Light.
24155
The day I madeMy unconditional surrender complete,
I was embraced by God
With all His Enthusiasm-Pride.
24156
We get joyIn keeping some secrets,
But God does not subscribe
To our philosophy.
He keeps no secrets
From His close associates:
Self-giving God-lovers.
24157
Alas,I never knew how beautiful
My God-surrender-tears would be!
24158
As it requiresFull-time devotion
For mankind to please God,
Even so, it requires
Full-time attention
For God to please mankind.
24159
The mind, vital and body of thoseWho do not want to be
Acquainted with God’s Will
Will eventually sink into the abysmal abyss.
24160
Those who haveInvaluable inner insights
Will have the power
To help transform man into God.
24161
The transformationOf a single bad thought
Can be the manifestation
Of something divine, absolute
And supreme.
24162
Our heart’s criesAre our special messengers
From our soul to God.
24163
When I am determinedTo have God-choice
As my only choice,
My goal does not remain
A far cry any more.
24164
My Lord,Do tell me the choice Hour
That You have selected
To liberate me
From unending bubbles of thought.
24165
My Lord,Will we ever realise
The gravity of our spiritual disaster
When we criticise You
And do not see eye to eye with You?
24166
The choicest Blessing-Smile of GodDescended upon him
When he remained unmoved
By world-appreciation
And unperturbed by world-deprecation.
24167
No, not even hellCan smash a gratitude-heart
That wants to please God always
In His own Way.
24168
Our aspiration-thirstGod will gladly quench
At His choice Hour.
But our ego’s thirst
Definitely He will not quench
Permanently.
24169
Peace will beBy far the best promoter
Of God-manifestation on earth.
24170
Be not caughtIn your self-criticism-net.
Be not caught
In your world-criticism-net.
24171
To have a good ideaIn the mind,
And to perform a better action
From the heart,
Will definitely expedite
Our journey towards our goal.
24172
The best way to liberate ourselvesFrom the confusion-mind
Is to live inside
The cries of our heart.
24173
Every morningI get tremendous satisfaction
When I look at the delight-rainbow-smiles
Of the dawn.
24174
We must offerOur gratitude-heart to God
For our every progress-breath.
24175
We must transcendOur inferiority feelings
At every moment
To be one with
The ever-transcending Reality.
24176
The ignorance-mind playsWin-and-lose games.
The wisdom-heart plays
Only oneness-game.
24177
Right from the very beginningConquer your small worries and anxieties.
Otherwise, they can grow into
Very serious problems.
24178
O my Lord Supreme,Do grant me one single boon.
Do liberate me
From my human one-track mind
That always runs towards
Ignorance-destruction.
24179
If we act from the very depthsOf our inspiration-heart
Sleeplessly,
Then God is bound to extol our virtues
To the skies.
24180
Wherever there is a oneness-heart,God the Singer of Joy-Songs
Is available there.
24181
I thrive on my life’sUnending
God-surrender-victories.
24182
What is ignorance?Ignorance is something
That always tempts us
To run backwards.
24183
God Himself shows our heartsHow to walk along
His Compassion-flooded Path.
24184
Wherever God goes,He always allows
His Peace and Delight
To accompany Him.
24185
Of all the inner world’s hooligans,Disobedience
Is the worst.
24186
God has invited my soulTo give a lecture on obedience,
And He has compelled
My heart, mind, vital and body
To attend.
24187
When your life is clothedIn obedience and gratitude,
God-realisation will not remain
A far cry.
24188
Only our inner gratitudeHas the capacity
To multiply and magnify
The beauty of our aspiration-hearts.
24189
Because my heart criesPrayerfully and soulfully,
God always has a soft spot
For my heart.
24190
My Lord SupremeAgain and again tells me
That I came into the world
Only to realise and not to socialise.
24191
My heart always comes firstIn my God-expansion-life.
My soul always comes first
In my God-satisfaction-life.
24192
Because you did notTake God unconditionally,
God cannot
Take your life seriously.
24193
EndlessIs our mind’s expectation.
Beginningless and deathless
Is our heart’s gratitude.
24194
We empty the mindSo that God can enter.
We fill the heart
To sing God’s Glories.
24195
If you want to climbSurrender-ladder,
You must have the courage
To change your mind.
24196
We compel God to change His MindCountless times.
But, poor God!
When He asks us to change our mind
Only once,
We immediately refuse.
24197
My stupid and senseless mind,No more shall I allow you
To torture my heart-bird.
24198
Aspiration-mountain,Realisation-mountain
And God-satisfaction-mountain
Do not have any topmost peak.
24199
Every day my soul comesTo unlock my mind-door,
But every day it sadly fails.
24200
If you want to astonish God,Then on the strength
Of your unconditional surrender,
Open all your heart-petals
As quickly as possible.
