Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 44

Return to the table of contents

4301

When God came and told me
That He would make me
A perfect instrument of His,
I shared this good news
With my heart
Immediately.

4302

If you are really afraid
Of your dry mind,
Then why do you not offer it
To God’s Compassion-Eye?
He will transform your dry mind
Into His Vastness-Smile
And Calmness-Dance.

4303

My Lord Supreme,
Is it too late for me
To please You?

My Lord Supreme,
Is it too late for me
To claim You?

My Lord Supreme,
Is it too late for You
To make me Your choicest instrument?

4304

Do you not know
What is wrong with you?
I am telling you
What is wrong with you.
You do not allow God,
Your Inner Pilot,
To whisper in your ear
That you are a choice instrument
Of His.

4305

My earth-bound life
May not be certain,
But my self-giving heart
Is certain.
And what else is certain?
My arrival at my God-ordained
Destination
At God’s choice Hour.

4306

My Lord Supreme,
My heart-vessel is filled
With Your Love.
What can I have,
What will I have
To fill Your Heart-Vessel?

4307

God-success is attainable
On the strength of the seeker’s
Heart-progress.

4308

God has given you the capacity
To be His Dream-Wave
And kept for Himself the capacity
To be your Satisfaction-Shore.

4309

My seeker-friend,
This time do not find fault
With God.
Just give Him a chance,
Only once,
To redesign your life.

4310

You do not have to wait
For earthly fulfilment
To realise God.
To realise God
You do not have to wait
For anything.
Also, do not ask God
To wait for you.
Just keep your heart’s door wide open
And let Him enter.
His Compassion-Presence
Is your earthly and Heavenly fulfilment
All at once.

4311

For me there is no other way
To reach my goal
Than to claim God secretly
And openly
As my own, very own.

4312

There is only one rule
For God-realisation:
When God the Referee
Starts the game,
Just play and play and play
And never ask Him when to stop.
If you can play continuously,
Sleeplessly and endlessly
While being observed
By your Beloved Supreme,
Then God-realisation is bound to dawn.

4313

His mind lived
With success-illusion.
His heart lives
Only with progress-illumination.

4314

How can you receive
Your Beloved Supreme
When you have not allowed
Your own heart to receive you?

4315

If you are lost
In your mind-confusion,
Just mention soulfully only once
The Name of your sweetest Lord.
Not only will you come out
Of your mind-confusion,
But also your mind-confusion itself
Will be illumined.

4316

What is temptation?
Temptation is something
That unconsciously helps
The divine within us
To conquer the human in us.

4317

You will not be able to count
The number of times
You have delayed your meeting
With your Beloved Supreme.

4318

Do not lock your problem-door.
Break asunder your problem-door
By listening to your soul’s
Thunder-silence-voice.

4319

When God came to you,
You forgot to ask Him
Where He kept
His Forgiveness-Delight.
Therefore
Today your entire being is miserable.

4320

The idle cannot find God.
Therefore, God has to exert
Extra effort
To make the idle dynamic
So that God and they can enjoy
Mutual oneness-pride.

4321

God has sown His Promise-Seeds
Inside you.
Now He expects you to grow into
Nothing other than
His Satisfaction-Fruits.

4322

Selfless service
Keeps your faith in God
Sweeter than the sweetest
And makes your oneness-love
With God
Stronger than the strongest.

4323

For years and years
You have begged God unconsciously
To fulfil your venom-desires.
Now for a fleeting day
Can you not consciously thank God
That He has not fulfilled
Your venom-desires
Out of His infinite Bounty?

4324

God plays the role
Of the Satisfaction-Emperor
Only when He is able to address
An aspiring audience.

4325

He wants to learn from you
How to become another God,
How to love God
And how to serve Him
Soulfully and unconditionally.

4326

Unless you have
The willingness to transcend,
How can God grant you
His Satisfaction-Eye?

4327

Alas,
Your mind’s ignorance-island
Is surrounded by
Your helpless surrender-sea.

4328

O my heart’s silence-singer, sing!
How I wish I could learn
Some God-pleasing songs
From you.

4329

When I played the role
Of a giver,
I did not know what to give
Or how to give.
Now that I am playing the role
Of a taker,
I not only know how to take
But also what to take.

4330

An able man
Has confidence enough
To feel that his burdens
Cannot surpass his capacity.

4331

My first mistake was
I did not love God
Unconditionally.
My last mistake was
I did not rectify
My first mistake.

4332

Your mind wants
To deceive God.
Your heart longs
To receive God.
And you want God
To immortalise you
Either as a sinner or as a saint.

4333

If you have a seeker’s heart,
Then it is bound to vouch
For your soul’s victory.

4334

The mind’s hesitation
And the soul’s illumination
Can never be found together
In the same boat.

4335

I must improve the accuracy
Of my heart’s
Soulful aspiration-arrows.

4336

Your mind’s rising doubt-river
Must surrender to your heart’s
Expanding faith-sea.

4337

A humility-host
Has the unparalleled capacity
To soulfully bow
To any guest.

4338

God has kept
His Compassion-Pillow
All ready.
Now where is your head?
Where is it?

4339

His life’s helplessness-cry
Melts even
The coldest heart.

4340

Enough!
Do not stage any more
Your self-accusation-play.
The world is quite sick of it.

4341

Even God,
Not to speak of human beings,
Does not want to walk
On your mind’s slippery path.

4342

Not your naked sword
But your surrender-cries
Will be able to awaken
His heart.

4343

In the spiritual life
A surrender-life
Is the only source
Of a satisfaction-heart.

4344

If you want to live
Under God’s Protection-Canopy,
Then destroy the breath
Of your ego-prince.

4345

How is it
That there is such a yawning gulf
Between you
And your heart’s unswerving faith?

4346

You want to know
Where your gratitude-heart is.
Alas, it has gone to dig
Its own grave.

4347

It is not enough
To browse in God’s Bookstore.
You must buy at least one book
To illumine your heart.

4348

Who is the real culprit,
If not the strangling vital?
Who else,
If not the suspecting vital?

4349

Prosperity
Has made my heart beautiful.
Adversity
Is making my life powerful.

4350

You are a real saint
If you do not have the capacity
To delight in others’ despair.

4351

Unless you have totally forgotten
Your failure-past,
God is not going to invite you
To dine with Him.

4352

Since your heart knows how
To hear God’s Voice,
Can you not ask your mind, too,
To hear the Voice of God?

4353

How can you expect
Anything divine and perfect
From a non-seeker’s sterile life?

4354

The divinity
Of a purity-heart
Has always to be sought
And invited.

4355

His is the beautiful life-garden
That allows no weeds
To grow.

4356

When he dived deep within,
He realised
That God’s Silence-Heart
Is nothing other than
God’s Thunder-Voice.

4357

If you want to fly back
To your heart-nest,
Then be a conscious partner
Of your soul-bird.

4358

You want me to tell you
What kind of sword you need
To slay your ignorance.
I wish to tell you
That you need only one sword,
And that is your heart’s
Mountain-aspiration-cry,
Conscious and constant.

4359

As it was you
Who allowed your life
To be infested with delusions,
Even so, it is you
Who can inspire your life
To be flooded with illumination.

4360

To fly the Banner of the Supreme,
During the day I shall cry
With the cries of the Unknown
And at night I shall smile
With the smiles of the Unknowable.

4361

His vision-eye
Leaves nothing unseen.
His compassion-heart
Leaves nothing untouched.
His forgiveness-oneness
Leaves nothing unillumined.

4362

The other day my Beloved Supreme
Told me in secret
That when He put me on earth,
It was for His Amusement,
And when He puts me in Heaven,
It will be for His Enchantment.

4363

The strength of dissatisfaction
Cannot be measured.
It defies everything inspiring,
Aspiring and illumining.

4364

The joy of the heart
And the willingness of life
Shall eternally remain inseparable.

4365

The outer failure
Quite often embodies
The beauty of inner fulfilment-necessities.

4366

O seeker-friend of mine,
Pray daily, meditate daily.
Otherwise, you are bound to develop
A confidence-shattering fear
Deep inside you
That God-realisation
Is not meant for you.

4367

You have come to tell God
That you are going to love Him.
God says to you,
“My son, if you have the capacity
To love Me,
Then I have the capacity
To follow you.”

4368

I can easily dare to imagine
Everything in God’s entire creation,
But I am always afraid of imagining
Only one thing:
That God is really pleased with me.

4369

If you have a mind,
Then make it fertile.
If you have a fertile mind,
Then make it fertile
With something totally new:
God’s God-Will.

4370

Time and again
I have seen my heart’s sorrow
Serving my Beloved Supreme
Far beyond my imagination’s flight.

4371

He who has God’s Satisfaction-Heart
Already has God’s Compassion-Eye
As well.

4372

No star
Ever wants to blossom
In your mind’s
Tenebrous ego-sky.

4373

Do not worry!
God Himself
Will keep a flawless record
Of your self-transcendence-cries.

4374

I am learning something
Most important about delight.
Delight is the unparalleled
Transcendental Beauty
Of God’s Satisfaction-Heart.

4375

What God teaches you,
You have to prove to God
That you have learnt.

4376

God needs you.
Therefore, He has forgotten
Everything else.

You want God.
Therefore, you have to forget
Everything else.

4377

Do you see
What you are becoming?
You are undoubtedly becoming
Happier today
Than you were
The day before yesterday.

4378

The Love-Sea of our Beloved Supreme
Invites all soulful seekers.
What for?
To swim sleeplessly,
Not to sink immediately.

4379

Do you not think
It is high time for you
To worship another God
Than your ego-god?

4380

You want to please God
In His own Way,
But you do not know how.
But do you not think
That God will give you
The capacity,
Since He has already given you
The aspiration
To please Him in His own Way?

4381

You are such a fool!
You are devoting your life to the God
That you do not want to become
Instead of to the God
That you actually want to become.

4382

Each God-beginning
Marks not a man-end
But God’s Self-Transcendence.

4383

If you are desperate
To realise God,
No, not even the most powerful titan
Can keep you separate
From God’s Oneness-Smile
And Satisfaction-Dance.

4384

A silence-seeker
Needs only the fragrance
Of his own self-giving heart
To enter the Heart-Garden
Of his Beloved Supreme.

4385

If you are a soulful seeker
And if you enjoy wishful thinking,
Then God loves you powerfully
Along with your wishful God-thinking.

4386

You commit Himalayan blunders
Almost every day.
But when God’s swift Justice-Blow
Is upon you,
You do not want to accept it
As His Compassion-Touch.
Today’s Justice-Blow of God
Is tomorrow’s Illumination-Touch
For you.

4387

You want to represent God,
But are you sure that God wants
To present you to the world
As His choice gift?

4388

In my life-house
I have quite a few rooms
To live in,
But God wants to live with me
Only in my heart-room.

4389

To misuse God’s
Compassion-Smiles
Is to lose them
Forever.

4390

A life of success
You have been.
Can you not prepare yourself
To be a heart of progress?

4391

You want to know
What you should desire from God.
I am telling you to ask God
To free you from your desire-slavery.

4392

You are miserable
Because you have
Deliberately abandoned
Your heart-child.

4393

Before, he begged
For satisfaction-alms.
Now he is ready to be satisfied
Simply with aspiration-alms.

4394

To see a doubt-free mind
He is prepared to go
To the farthest part
Of the world.

4395

Not where I meet God
But when I meet God
Is of supreme importance
To me.

4396

How can you fail God
When He Himself wants you to be
A passenger
In His Heart-Boat?

4397

Disobedience,
The deadliest weapon,
Has destroyed the human in him
And ignored the divine in him.

4398

If you disown your doubt-sky,
Then God will help you own
Your faith-sun.

4399

Every day
My soul sings God-songs
For me and my heart,
And we are measurelessly enlightened
By them.

4400

My Lord Supreme,
I have not realised You,
I may not realise You
In this lifetime.
But will You not do me
A big favour?
Will You not give me the capacity
To love You,
Only love You, only love You?
