Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 6
501
O my life’s surrender-tears,You are beautiful,
You are sweet,
You are pure,
You are perfect.
Because of you,
God every day grants me
His Infinity’s Smile.
502
The repetition of a doubtful thoughtCan mark the very beginning
Of a self-deception-life.
503
Try to be aware of the wealthIn your life’s security-bank.
Then you will not have to camp
In the desert of stark insecurity.
504
A life of unconditional surrenderIs at once the seeker’s life-saver
And God’s Life-fulfiller.
505
My today’s dedication-songWill tomorrow be transformed
Into my life’s perfection-dance,
And the day after tomorrow
My perfection-dance will be transformed
Into God’s Satisfaction-Smile.
506
Try every dayTo paint your life of dynamism
With purity-brush.
You will definitely be chosen
To run the victory lap
In your Godward race.
507
Your life hearsThe clang of failure
Because your mind consciously enjoys
The tremors of doubt.
508
Now that he has liberated himselfFrom self-doubt-prison,
His life has become a hope-blossom
In his heart-garden.
509
Every day he watersHis heart’s aspiration-plants
With his soul’s fruitful tears
And with his life’s powerful smiles.
510
Not my Master’s smile,Not my Master’s blessings,
Not my Master’s compassion,
But my Master’s forgiveness
Is my life-breath,
My only life-breath.
511
My life’s soulfulness-shieldAlways protects me
From the world’s doubt-arrows.
512
Knowing perfectly wellThat your mind is a circus
Of confusion,
Why do you live inside your mind?
Knowing perfectly well
That your heart is a garden
Of illumination,
Why do you not live inside your heart?
513
Your life is nowA sinking raft of emotions
Because you are not allowing
Your soul’s wisdom-buoyancy
To come to the fore.
514
If you do not love the worldSleeplessly and unreservedly,
Your inner world and outer world
May eventually become
Smouldering hate-ashes.
515
The message from your vital:Temptation-tiger is very beautiful
And not so powerful.
The message from your soul:
Temptation-tiger is not only dangerous
But also voracious.
516
Unless you continuously climb upThe aspiration-tree,
You may disappear in the quicksand
Of the desire-world.
517

Vanishing.
In the evening
He sees his heart’s beauty-flames
Rising.
518
Do you know what you actually need?You need God’s Compassion-Splashes
On your heart-lawn
And God’s Forgiveness-Showers
On your mind-desert.
519
The human mind is so foolish!Not only does it allow
But it even enjoys
The company of a host
Of doubt-convicts.
520
If you do not loveThe beauty and purity
Of what you already have,
Then you will not be able
To sever the bondage-chains
Of your self-torment.
521
Your body was not meantTo saunter down lethargy-lane.
Your body was meant
To challenge death to a constant duel.

With his mind’s inspiration-rabbit.
In his inner life
He is happy because he keeps pace
With his heart’s aspiration-bird.
523
Try to move forwardOut of the aspiration-blocks
As powerfully as possible
If you want your life
To breast victory’s tape
As quickly as possible.
524
Your mind’s jealousy-daggerHas severely wounded you.
If you want to be healed,
Try to discover as soon as possible
The flames of your aspiration-heart.
525
As God wants to tame meWith His Love-Power,
Even so, He wants me to tame Him
With my surrender-power.
526
Unless a seeker is consciously and constantlyWalking along the avenue of perfection-life,
He will not be allowed to reach
Heaven’s supreme Illumination-Gate.
527
A true God-lover is heWho at the end of each day
Soulfully and selflessly sees
How high he has built
God’s Kingdom here on earth.
528
Each thought is a world.This world has no meaning
If it has no purity of purpose.
529
Because your heart has acceptedThe aspiration-life as your only life,
God has asked your soul to cancel
Your immediate appointment with death.
530
Now that your God-hunger-lifeHas safely coasted through
The dark ignorance-tunnel,
Your heart can reap the Bounty
Of God’s Satisfaction-Delight.
531
Not the cosmic gods,Not even God Himself,
But man alone
Has to rectify
His own teeming blunders.
532
Each human mindIs ultimately changeable.
Each divine heart
Remains eternally unchangeable.
533
Self-conquest meansThe manifestation of
God’s Satisfaction-Dance
In a seeker’s life.
534
Each man has to knowThat he is Eternity’s forgotten thirst
For his own Infinity’s lost excellence.
535
In the spiritual life,To doubt is to meet with
A great disaster,
To lose faith in one’s Inner Pilot
Is to meet with
A greater disaster
And to go back once more
To the ordinary life of pleasure
Is to meet with
The greatest possible disaster.
536
Unless you love the invisible GodWithin you,
How can the visible God
Love you and bless you
And give all He has to you?
537
The hand of man wants to touchThe Power-Head of God
Before it has touched
The Forgiveness-Feet of God.
538
Each soul bravely and smilinglyComes into the world
Carrying a perfect cargo.
539
Unless the mind destroysIts own anxiety-army,
How can it be blessed with
Divinity’s peace-troops?
540

Then who can deny you the summit
Of perfection-peak?
542
If you can align your mindWith wisdom-beauty,
Then God will never hesitate,
Even for a fleeting second,
To share with you His Majesty-Kingdom.
543
My Beloved Supreme has appointedMy life’s unconditional surrender
As His Eternity’s housekeeper.
544
If you want to remain always happy,Always perfect and always fulfilled,
Then always keep inside your heart
A pocketful of sweet dreams.
545
The difference betweenThe pebble-mind and the mountain-heart
Is this:
The pebble-mind wants to challenge
The strength of God-Power.
The mountain-heart sleeplessly longs for
The embrace of God-Hour.
546
God’s imperial Love-TreasureYou can own
Only after you have impeached
The uncomely thoughts
Of your unaspiring mind.
547
With indomitable powerA oneness-heart constantly zooms
Towards the ever-transcending
Satisfaction-Goal.
548
No brutal powerCan ever successfully challenge
The dark callousness
Of the mind’s indifference.
549
You must shorten your vacationIn your body’s lethargy-land
If you want not only to lengthen your stay
But also to have a permanent residence
In your soul’s happiness-manufacturing
Energy-land.
550
God will allow you to officiateIn His Perfection-Palace
If you are ready to abdicate your throne
In your long-treasured ego-palace.
551
You always tell meThat you do not want to be bitten
By doubt-mosquitoes.
Why then are you not willing
To come out of the swamp
Of your doubting mind?
552
If your heart is a true seeker,If your life is a true server,
If your soul is a true dreamer
And if your God is a true Lover,
How can you ever be a quitter?
553
You have unconsciously chosen to beA lifelong prisoner
In your insecurity-prison.
God has consciously plus unconditionally
Chosen you to be
The quintessence of
His Immortality’s Breath.
554
If you are ready to wrestleWith your ambition-bull,
Then God will allow you to play
With His Illumination-Lamb.
555
The strength of man’s faith-bridgeCan smilingly and perfectly hold
The weight of God’s entire universe.
556
God does not want your mindTo be crushed
Under your own impurity-boot.
He wants your mind to wear
The same purity-shoes
That your heart has been wearing
For a long time
And the same divinity-sandals
That your soul has been wearing
Throughout Eternity.
557
You can enjoyThe flowering of your divinity
Only after you have offered earth
What it needs,
Your heart’s sleepless cry,
And offered Heaven what it wants,
Your soul’s fruitful smile.
558
My heart’s prayer-letter to GodTells about earth’s hunger
For news of Heaven.
559
If you stay under the hope-umbrella,Before long you will be able
To speedily run towards God.
560
If your mind is floodedWith ego-pride,
Then your life, without fail,
Will be mangled
By confusion-tiger.
561
Enthusiasm and self-offeringAre fertile ground
On which to sow the perfection-seeds
Of the satisfaction-tree.
562
If your mind is cloggedWith thick impurity-dust,
How can your life become one
With other lives
Inside the purity-temple?
563
In the morningMy heart sings with my Lord
His Eternity’s Song.
In the evening
My life dances with my Lord
His Immortality’s Dance.
564
If you are a genuine seeker,Then every day watch carefully
To see if the leaves
Of your aspiration-tree
Are increasing or decreasing.
565
Every day my thought-worldPerforms its circus-life-act
Inside my Lord’s
Compassion-Forgiveness-Tent.
566
Unless you expel your division-lifeThrough your aspiration-life,
How can you climb the stairs
To satisfaction-peace?
567
Your heart cannot doAnd does not want to do
What your mind always does:
Live comfortably in the pleasure-vital
Of self-deception.
568
His life’s oneness-heart-smileIs every day electrified
By God’s God-Love-Power.
569
No difference betweenThe mind’s hatred
And the life’s hopelessness.
No difference between
The heart’s love
And the life’s God-Fulness.
570
His heart is a most powerfulAnd soothing murmur
Of his soul’s dream-river.
571
The satisfaction-life-fieldCan be furrowed only
By the soul’s perfection-plough.
572
A true God-loverDoes not find his life
Snared in ignorance-trap.
Therefore, his face wears a divinity-smile
Painted with the colours of delight.
573
As Compassion-Forgiveness-SunsAre my Lord’s Love-Toys,
Even so, surrender-gratitude-flames
Are my love-toys.
574
As his life is inchingTowards perfection,
Even so, his heart is inching
Towards satisfaction.
575
The favourite dessertOf my Beloved Supreme
Has always been
My satisfaction-smile.
576

Is going to teach you
How to unlearn
The knowledge of death.
577
Shut not your heart-door.God wants to come in
And sing His Delight-Songs
To turn your life
Into an ecstasy-sea.
578
My Lord Supreme,Even my undivine mind
Receives peace and light
From Your Smile.
579
If you can make your heartInto a flower of purity,
God will make your life
Into a pillar of divinity.
580
My Lord,I pray to You and
I try to glorify Your Name.
Which of the two do You like better?
“My child,
Praying and glorifying
Are not two separate things.
You pray to Me
Because you have faith in Me.
You glorify Me
Because I have faith in you.”
581
My life’s dedication-heartIs all Yours, my Lord.
My world’s desire-mind
Is all Yours, my Lord.
582
Quench my thirst, my Lord.I wish to come and sit at Your Feet.
“Quench My Thirst, My child.
I wish you to keep your heart-door
Wide open all the time
For Me, only for Me.”
583
My Lord Supreme,Why is it that I do not listen to You?
“You do not listen to Me, My child,
Because you do not consciously feel
That you need Me.
There is no other reason
And there can be no other reason.”
584
Those who believe and then seeAre infinitely better instruments
Than those who must first see
Before they believe.
Believe and become one
With your Master’s vision.
Then you will easily be able to see
Your own progress
And God’s Manifestation.
585
Beauty upon beautyDescends from Heaven
When my heart becomes the receptivity
Of luminescent stillness.
586
Alas, he does not realiseWhat is flowing
From his own heart.
His own soul-radiance is flowing
From his heart
To help him sit at the mystic Feet
Of his Beloved Supreme.
587
Only inspiration born on highCan whisper with words
Of pure delight.
588
Be a true truth-seeker,Be a true God-lover.
The multi-winged goddess of truth
Will gladly appear before you.
589
I have drunk from the depthOf my splendour-spangled soul.
No more can my mind sink
In the quicksand of ignorance.
590
O my vital,You have been giving me
The same experience
For so many years!
When will you put an end
To the tyranny-experience
Of my pleasure-life?
591
The capacity of the body is limited —Yours, mine, everybody’s.
But the capacity of the soul is unlimited —
Yours, mine, everybody’s.
592
In his inner lifeHe has been transcending himself
Faster than the fastest
Right from his childhood —
Of course, all due to
The infinite Compassion and Love
Of his Inner Pilot.
593
My Lord Supreme,Will I ever please You
In Your own Way?
“My child,
The very fact that you have asked
This soulful question
Means that there shall come a time
When you will definitely please Me
In My own Way,
Not only sleeplessly
But also unconditionally.”
594
In the outer worldYou may see how limited and useless
Your physical body is.
But in the inner world
Countless times
Your Inner Pilot will prove to you
That your speed is absolutely the fastest.
595
To bear sleeplesslyThe world’s unbearable pain
Is the fate of a great inner champion.
596
The pain he enduredOn the physical plane
Was beyond earth’s imagination.
But the joy and delight he experienced
On the psychic plane
Was also beyond earth’s imagination.
597
As the Absolute Supreme has the hopeThat His chosen children will realise Him,
Even so, His children have the dream
That they will be able to prove to the world
That the inner and the outer life
Are complementary realities.
598
Someday the body will give to the soulWhat it has:
Its aspiration-hunger.
Someday the soul will give to the body
What it has:
Its realisation-smile,
A divine meal.
599
Your self-transcendence-goalIs not something
That you have to achieve.
It was already given to you long ago
By your Beloved Supreme.
You have only to believe it.
You have only to receive it.
600
My Lord Supreme,How can I make the fastest progress?
“My child,
Pray to Me
For a purity-flooded mind.
Pray to Me
For a beauty-flooded heart.
Pray to Me
For a dedication-flooded life.
Pray to Me
To give you the capacity to see
That your inner voice
Is your only choice.”
