Selected poems from Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants
You are not
What others think you are.
You are not
What you claim to be.
Others think of you
As a useless human being.
You claim to be
A perfect human being.
Now I shall tell you
What you actually are.
You are an eternal pilgrim
Walking along the road of aspiration
Toward the destined goal:
Perfection.
And your perfection is another name
For God’s complete Satisfaction.
What others think you are.
You are not
What you claim to be.
Others think of you
As a useless human being.
You claim to be
A perfect human being.
Now I shall tell you
What you actually are.
You are an eternal pilgrim
Walking along the road of aspiration
Toward the destined goal:
Perfection.
And your perfection is another name
For God’s complete Satisfaction.

Do not try to conceal
What your mind has.
You will badly fail.
Try to reveal
What your soul has and is.
You will speedily succeed.
What your mind has.
You will badly fail.
Try to reveal
What your soul has and is.
You will speedily succeed.

One of my constant problems:
I always think
About others
But never care
For others.
I always think
About others
But never care
For others.

Something has to die immediately
Inside my mind.
Ah, I know what it is!
It is my monster-ego.
Something has to blossom immediately
Inside my life.
Ah, I know what it is!
It is my flower-heart.

Each human being
Has a higher life and a lower life.
The lower life
Is the life of division.
The higher life
Is the life of oneness.
Has a higher life and a lower life.
The lower life
Is the life of division.
The higher life
Is the life of oneness.

The waves of hatred-night
Can easily be dissolved
In the sea of oneness-love.
Can easily be dissolved
In the sea of oneness-love.

Do not allow your mind
To wrestle with uncomely thoughts,
For it will unmistakably fail.
Just ask your heart
To illumine your thought-world.
It will instantly change
The face and fate
Of each and every thought.
To wrestle with uncomely thoughts,
For it will unmistakably fail.
Just ask your heart
To illumine your thought-world.
It will instantly change
The face and fate
Of each and every thought.

Aspiration is not
A small, temporary relief
From human suffering.
It is the only way
To enter into the sea
Of Eternity’s Bliss.
A small, temporary relief
From human suffering.
It is the only way
To enter into the sea
Of Eternity’s Bliss.

Do not give up, do not give up!
Your soul has endless patience.
Listen to your soul’s compassion-whispers.
You will eventually succeed.
Do not give up!
Your soul has endless patience.
Listen to your soul’s compassion-whispers.
You will eventually succeed.
Do not give up!

Little drops of gratitude-rain
Can liberate the human mind
From all its bondage-chains.
Can liberate the human mind
From all its bondage-chains.

Your goal is not here;
It is far beyond.
Do not relax
Or lose your enthusiasm.
God wants you to run
An ultramarathon every day
To reveal the amazing capacity
Of a God-seeker-runner.

Happiness in cheerful self-giving
Is beyond compare.
It is the highest delight
That God has created for humanity.
Is beyond compare.
It is the highest delight
That God has created for humanity.
