Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 29

Return to the table of contents

2801

Your heart’s silver silence
Must ever remain wakeful
To watch God’s Compassion-Dance.

2802

If you are the owner
Of sterling faith,
Then God will definitely
Shorten your journey.

2803

My life’s sincerity-determination
Has always been
My only alarm clock.

2804

A purity-heart has always been
A pillar
Of man’s inner society.

2805

Your turn is coming!
You have to prove
That you are definitely worthy
Of God’s Compassion-Blessing-Sky.

2806

No matter when he speaks,
No matter what he says,
He always quotes
From God’s Forgiveness-Lectures.

2807

Unless you can turn your life
Into happiness-curry,
You will never get the ingredients
For realisation-meal.

2808

Every morning without fail
He uses his aspiration-alarm
To awaken not only himself
But also everybody else
From ignorance-sleep.

2809

Do not be a fool!
There cannot be any hiding place
For your ignorance
In your inner life of aspiration.

2810

He has covered half the way
To God-realisation.
This experience his mind takes
As encouraging
And his heart takes
As discouraging.

2811

Silence your mind totally
If you want to see
The illumination-sun
Inside your heart.

2812

My heart-carpenter
Has promised to build for me
A beautiful shrine
Where I can worship
My Eternity’s Lord Supreme.

2813

I may not know where
Your hiding place is,
But definitely I know
That you are not doing
The right thing by hiding.

2814

God is always ready
To shepherd you home.
But will you ever care
For His Help?

2815

My Lord,
Where were You
When I needed You?
“My child,
What did you do
When you had Me?”

2816

One extraordinary deed
Made his life worthwhile,
And that deed
Was establishing his heart’s
Sleepless oneness.

2817

My heart is always ready
To be with God,
No matter where He is,
Even when He is in
His Amusement Park
And not in
His Enlightenment Garden.

2818

A bountiful smile:
This is the eternal gift
Of the Master
To his disciple.

2819

Every day
You must renew
Your heart’s aspiration-visa.

2820

Reclaim
Your soulfulness-life.
Reclaim
Your eagerness-heart.
Reclaim
Your perfection soul.

2821

Our mountain of possessions
May satisfy the beggar in us
But not the God-lover in us,
Who has already got God
For his own.

2822

The delight-plant is very delicate.
Be careful when you touch it
And be prayerful when you water it
With your heart’s devotion-cry.

2823

You are not ready to buy
God’s Lottery Ticket,
For you are afraid of the power
Of man-possessed wealth.

2824

If you are waiting for your heart
To strengthen itself,
If you are waiting for your mind
To straighten itself,
If you are waiting for your life
To enlighten itself,
Then, alas, I don’t think you will have
One moment of true happiness.

2825

If you do not attend
Your aspiration-class every day,
Who will revive
Your soul’s lofty mission
On earth?

2826

God’s eternal Toy
Is man’s fulfilling heart
Of gratitude.

2827

There are very few
Human beings on earth
Who can play satisfactorily
On their life’s gratitude-piano.

2828

To eat every day
A sweet hope-orange
Is not a difficult task.

2829

Even an iota of aspiration-light
Will strengthen you to ignore
The dark world-criticism.

2830

If you think you are unique,
Then show me that you are
Not willingly standing
On the world’s ignorance-shore.

2831

There is a sign
On God’s Front Gate.
It says only to come in
And not to go out.

2832

You have proved to me
That God is approachable.
I have proved to you
That God is lovable.

You have proved to me
That God’s Sound-Life
Is for everybody.
I have proved to you
That God’s Silence-Life
Is only for a select few.

2833

How can full satisfaction
Claim you
Unless you disown
Your insecurity-property?

2834

Every day my heart sails
In the golden boat
Of imagination-delight.

2835

Nothing can be
As beautiful and fruitful
As divinity’s God-illumination-souvenirs.

2836

Secretly he receives from God
God’s Compassion-Letters.
Openly he reads to God
Man’s ingratitude-letters.

2837

The sorrows
Of his heart
Steer the boat
Of his progress-life.

2838

I see God’s Purity-Face
Inside flowers.
I see God’s Beauty-Face
Inside children.

2839

I have given up
All my mind’s fantasies.
Therefore, God has given me
His Heart-Dreams of intimacy.

2840

If you want to climb
The God-Satisfaction-Tree,
Then brave the buffets
Of your insecurity-thoughts.

2841

God’s Compassion-Smile
Is for everyone.
But alas,
Very few human beings
Value it.

2842

Tell me Your Will, my Lord.
Am I supposed to be
Ahead of Your Satisfaction-Heart,
Or am I supposed to be
Behind Your Compassion-Eye?

2843

How to feed the inner cry?
Just try to claim
A higher life
As your own.

2844

Heaven’s immigration officers
Rejected him
Because his aspiration-passport
Had expired long ago.

2845

Here in this very body
I shall not only see
The Heart of God
But also reveal
The Life of God.

2846

At every moment
What I need
Is an injection of divine energy
To climb up
My life’s aspiration-tree.

2847

No matter how impure
A human heart is,
God does not withdraw
His Promise-Manifestation
In and through it.

2848

You are afraid of appearing
At the aspiration-examination,
But you are longing
For the realisation-results.

2849

Earth entertains Heaven
With its purity-cries.
Heaven enlightens earth
With its beauty-smiles.

2850

The mind’s luxury
And the heart’s poverty
Are quite often available
Inside the same body.

2851

Enthusiasm and self-transcendence
Are two great
Complementary realities.

2852

He who cheerfully enjoys
His responsibility’s weight
Is a chosen instrument
Of God-Eternity.

2853

Hill-climbing aspiration
Is always necessary
For the fastest progress
In life.

2854

His mind’s roommate
Is a jealousy-criminal.
His heart’s roommate
Is an ecstasy’s self-transcendence-rival.

2855

In my heart’s home,
Everybody will be invited
To come
And nobody will be asked
To go.

2856

My mind,
I do not want you
To be an offensive thinker,
But an expansion-lover.

2857

My Lord, You tell me
If I am tired.
If I am tired,
Do take care of me
While I am resting!

2858

What happens
When the inspiration-cage
Is smashed?
The aspiration-bird inside
Dies.

2859

Your unwillingness
Is not predestined.
Your oneness-heart
With God’s Will
Is predestined.

2860

May each life become
A hope-fountain
So that each heart will become
Beauty’s joy.

2861

Your soulful smile
Represents
God’s Satisfaction-Mirror
In you.

2862

Why do you allow your aspiration-life
To be hampered
By indulgence-flow?

2863

Every day God asks me
If I enjoy His Affection-Touch
On my shoulder.

2864

Surrender-perfume
Permeates
His entire being
Every day.

2865

God has come to you
To see your soulful heart
Of aspiration,
Not your hurtful face
Of frustration.

2866

I am happy
When I am not the owner,
But God is the Owner,
Of my heart’s obedience-light.

2867

Do not surrender
To your reluctance-body.
Be one with your heart
And fight against it!

2868

You are a do-it-yourself seeker.
Therefore, God’s Compassion
Does not want to interfere
In your life.

2869

It is high time
For you to free yourself
From your unbelievably powerful
Ignorance-instigated deeds.

2870

You are telling me
That you are tired
Of the amusement-life.
Then why are you not mixing
With the enlightenment-heart?

2871

You are afraid of discarding
Your desire-knife.
But you can at least blunt the edge
Of your desire-knife.

2872

Aspire soulfully and sleeplessly.
You will see that
The death-dealing hand of time
Will be transformed into
The life-flowing heart of time.

2873

It is an easy task
For your heart
To smell the sweet fragrance
Of your soul.

2874

God’s Compassion-Smile
Is the matchless salary
Of a God-employee.

2875

His vital is happy
That at long last
It is able to enjoy vacation
From its aggression-destruction-life.

2876

At every moment
God’s Heart-Boat
Offers new room
To new passengers.

2877

God’s Eye
And
My heart
Met together
Only to shed ceaseless tears.

2878

His heart’s paradise-sun shines
Wherever and whenever
His Master compassionately
Writes his name.

2879

If you do not nourish your heart
With love,
You will not be able to go
Even a step farther
In the inner world.

2880

The sweetest fruit
Of Heaven
Is man’s unconditional
Surrender.

2881

I always thought
I was special,
But now I see
That I have been fooling myself
Inside my mind’s
Illusion and delusion-forest.

2882

The year
Is ending today.
My earth-fear
Is also ending today.
And my Lord’s displeasure with me
Is also ending today.

2883

At last I am now able
To discard my jealousy-dammed
Mind-machine.

2884

In the inner world
Each man is blessed
With the opportunity
To recreate his outer life.

2885

If you have the capacity-key,
Then the opportunity-door
Cannot remain forever locked.

2886

Unless you discard
Your mind’s dictionary of excuses,
God will not grant you
His Dictionary of Love and Peace.

2887

Take a deep dive
In your consciousness-pond.
You will be totally transformed
And perfectly ready for God.

2888

You must never allow your mind
To be callous
To your heart’s God-needs.

2889

Every day
God wants me to show Him
My life’s determination-jaw.

2890

My Lord,
If You do not want
To give me freely,
At least allow me to borrow
A pair of ignorance-cutting scissors.

2891

If you are not pure
At every moment,
You will not be able
To stay permanently inside
Your heart’s hope-blossoming garden.

2892

The soul is God’s lawyer.
Be careful when you are dealing
With God’s lawyer:
The lawyer is always
On God’s side.

2893

Invite God
With your heart’s aspiration-silence.
He will definitely come.

2894

Temptation has retarded your progress;
Therefore, you are sad.
But I tell you,
This is a universal experience!

2895

My Lord,
How long am I supposed to remain
With man
In his extremely cold
Unwillingness-climate?

2896

No desire knows
What it actually wants.
It only unconsciously expedites
The express arrival
Of death.

2897

There is nothing wrong
When you laugh
At a doubt-orphan.
Truth to tell,
A doubt-orphan
Deserves to be ridiculed!

2898

O my sweet Master,
Do help me to remember
Every day
That I came to you to be
Your absolutely perfect disciple.

2899

O my sweet Master,
Do help me to remember
Every day
That your indifference-eye
Is my life’s immediate death.

2900

O my sweet Master,
Do help me to remember
Every day
That it is not I
Who am dedicated to you
But it is you
Who are dedicated to me.
I am just watching
Your heart’s constant dedication-life.
