Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 86

Return to the table of contents

8501

There is only one way:
You have to love God only
In God’s own Way.

8502

The body-world
Likes to be free
From the domination
Of lethargy-monarch.

8503

His mind is never ready
To accept the kind invitation
Of truth.

8504

In the soul’s world
There are no long-distance calls.
There are only short-distance calls.

8505

Life’s imperfection-plate
Has always been
Strikingly full.

8506

The doubt-speaker powerfully speaks
Everywhere,
Even in faith-conference.

8507

A life of temptation
Will eventually be forced
To bear the frustration-flag.

8508

Aspire within, aspire without
At every moment.
Otherwise, your mind will be
Nothing other than
A fire-storm of doubt.

8509

Desire and temptation
Are two different things
Only in name.
In reality they are one.

8510

A life of success
Quite often cannot be separated
From blindness-pride.

8511

A life of indulgence
Will, without fail,
Have sad side-effects.

8512

In life’s circus
It is usually the vital
That plays the role
Of the clown.

8513

Turn your wishful thoughts
Into a powerful
Will-power.

8514

Every day you must allow wisdom
To enter into your mind-room
Without any obstruction.

8515

Can you not see
That your mind’s willingness-licence
Has expired long ago?

8516

Jump with your body, vital,
Mind, heart and soul
Into the river of enthusiasm-life
To please powerfully
Your Inner Pilot.

8517

The sweet hope of the heart
Has been orphaned
By the mind’s indifference-night.

8518

Why have you allowed your mind
To be swallowed
By endless misgivings?

8519

Yours is the life
With a lifelong dose
Of fear, anxiety and impurity.

8520

The mind-boat is fond of sailing
In the ignorance-sea
Of birthless and deathless questions.

8521

The smile of man’s life
Always helps
God’s Vision-Camera.

8522

You can unlearn
Many things in life,
But not the art of aspiration.

8523

God’s Dream-Kingdom
Is only for those
Who want to live
Inside the heart
Of perfection-reality.

8524

If your heart kneels,
Then only can you have
A towering life.

8525

If you do not obey
The whispering of your soul,
Yours will be a life
Of bitter frustrations.

8526

Have the mind
That swiftly moves towards God.
Have the heart
That powerfully proceeds towards God.
Have the life
That unmistakably runs towards God.

8527

You must not allow your mind
To squander your heart’s life,
The life of the Beyond.

8528

To live inside
An aspiration-heart
Is to live in
God’s favourite clime.

8529

Whenever you want to run
In the inner world,
Rest assured,
God Himself will sponsor the race.

8530

Every day make it a point
To see your aspiration-bird
Flying in your realisation-sky.

8531

Without the sincerity-ticket,
You will not be allowed
To fly in the delight-plane.

8532

It is not unnatural
For the human mind to ruin
The purity of the heart
With its impurity-ink.

8533

If you are making progress,
Then you must feel your progress
Is God’s stupendous Satisfaction
In you.

8534

You are a voracious eater
Of desire-food.
Therefore, you can never be
A precious citizen of the world.

8535

Each new day
Is the harbinger
Of a new dream:
Man’s aspiration-heart.

8536

You want to be an instant winner.
There is only one way:
Surrender your willingness
And your fulness
Together
To the Will of the Supreme.

8537

My soul has kept a secret
For a long time:
God is extremely proud of me.

8538

True, many have tried
And many have failed.
But that does not mean
That you have to surrender
To failure.

8539

Your life has to be
A birthless and deathless
Aspiration-adventure.

8540

Good morning, God!
This time, can You not stay
For a longer time
Within me, around me and before me?

8541

You will never be a loser
If you allow your ever-present Friend,
God,
To play with you every day.

8542

I do not have to see
Your God-identification-card.
What I want to see
Is your heart’s spontaneous surrender
To God’s immortal Will.

8543

Peace-pilgrim passed by you.
Alas,
Even now you are in the world
Of useless restlessness.

8544

Each divine thought
That comes to you
Will come to you, without fail,
Like the sunrise.

8545

No human being can ever claim
My heart,
For it has already been claimed
And reclaimed
By my Lord Supreme.

8546

He has always supported
His stupid mind,
And thus he has lost
The purity-sea of his heart.

8547

If you do not build
Your own delight-home,
Nobody will ever build you one.

8548

God Himself applauds
Each and every time He watches
Man’s self-offering-performances.

8549

My heart bleeds
For God’s Forgiveness.
My life lives
For God’s Satisfaction.

8550

Your life may not or cannot
Tell you who you are,
But you can tell your life
That you are only
Of God and for God.

8551

One mistake is enough
To totally ruin
The rest of your most precious life.

8552

My favourite fantasy
Is to see God play
In my heart’s gratitude-garden.

8553

If you are reluctant
To love God’s creation,
Then why should God destroy
Your life’s ignorance-night?

8554

He who has not read
God’s Guide to the aspiration-life
Will have a failure-life.

8555

Because yesterday had no power,
You cannot say that today also
Will have no power.
Who knows?
Tomorrow’s power-life may fulfil God
In and through today’s heart.

8556

If you want to inspire
The outer world,
Secretly aspire
In the inner world.

8557

If you want to become
A little better each day,
Then every day imagine
That smilingly you are climbing
Your life-tree.

8558

Alas, if I could start my life
All over again,
I would never look at the face
Of ignorance-prince.

8559

Unless you try
To do the right thing
And always pray to God
To do the right thing
In and through you,
You may never become successful
In the inner world.

8560

God will record
Your great achievements.
Do not take away God’s job!

8561

There are a million excuses
For saying no to God’s
Compassion-Requests.
But will God ever change His Will
To please you in your own way?

8562

Peace-meditation can
Not only annihilate
Your mind’s restlessness
But also liberate your life
From desire-night.

8563

An aspiration-heart
Is God’s
Beauty-loving Satisfaction-Home.

8564

Every day you must enjoy
The nectar-delight
Of your surrender-life.

8565

If you stir up the dust
Of the past,
You will be found
Inside the very jaws
Of a ferocious tiger.

8566

Incapacity comes from idleness.
Idleness is the acceptance
Of death’s invitation.

8567

Keep your mind under control.
Then nothing will be missing
In your God-blessed life.

8568

There is only one solution
To your mind’s impurity-problem:
Try to remain always
In your purity-flooded heart.

8569

Everything
Will pass away from you
Save and except
God’s Compassion-Eye.

8570

To free yourself from the finite,
Enjoy serving the soul:
God’s representative on earth.

8571

Let the future sleep!
Let the present teach you
How you can see God
And become another God.

8572

To sit
On ignorance-throne
Is to climb down
Into useless futility.

8573

A reasoning mind
Is eventually found
In a dark prison cell.

8574

If you are longing
For the unknown summits,
You should be always ready to execute
The message of the inner soul.

8575

My Lord,
May my aspiration-heart
And my surrender-life
Be forever united
And remain forever inseparable.

8576

At every moment
You are being awakened
By the Touch of God.
Alas,
Always you fall back
Into your ignorance-sleep.

8577

Each soulful thought
Is a flame
That illumines the human
In the divine.

8578

Nothing can remain far beyond
Our eager reach
If we surrender our way
To God’s Way.

8579

His is the heart
That has been commissioned by God
To bloom every day
At the Feet of God.

8580

The day I proclaimed
My life’s dependence on God,
He immediately granted me
His own transcendental Independence.

8581

If God could create
Immortal Delight,
I thought I, too, could create
Something.
Alas, I immediately created
Ignorance-night.

8582

When I look within,
I see my enlightenment-tree.
When I look without,
I see my amusement-zoo.

8583

Imperfection, imperfection,
Once and for all
I am telling you,
I was born to arrive
At the acme of perfection.

8584

Every day
When you meditate,
Try to feel that your life
Is in your heart’s fragrance-garden.

8585

You fool!
God the Compassion-Heart
Does value
Your gratitude-heart.

8586

Begin again!
Human life is not to be surrendered
To the power of ignorance-frown.
Human life is for God
To cherish.

8587

My heart implores
God’s Perfection-Eye.
My life implores
God’s Forgiveness-Heart.

8588

Your faith is frail.
Therefore, you are bound to fail
Both in your aspiration-heart
And in your dedication-life.

8589

Your gratitude-heart
Is a distinguished guest
At God’s Satisfaction-Banquet.

8590

Nobody has forced you
And nobody will ever be able to force you
To swim in your mind’s
Pollution-river.

8591

Do not allow yourself
To be trampled constantly
By the feet of doubt and fear!

8592

If you want to proclaim
The victory of your inner peace,
Then you have to become
The conqueror of your outer unrest.

8593

Progress-train is passing by.
Delay not!
Jump into it
And become a safe passenger.

8594

Each soul-bird
Enjoys singing sleeplessly
Unseen.

8595

God the Compassion-Champion
Will never stop playing with me
Until He has made me
His perfection-companion.

8596

As your desire-life
Is so dear to you,
Even so, God’s Compassion-Heart
Is dear to Him.

8597

Today
You are wasting time.
Tomorrow
You will be forced to taste
Your life’s failure-frustration.

8598

The heart has to learn
The art of giving.
The life has to learn
The art of receiving.

8599

God’s Compassion-Credo
Is for those
Who need it
And not only for those
Who deserve it.

8600

Each aspiring heart
Dreams only of the One
Who is Eternity’s and Infinity’s Love.
