\nby: Sri Chinmoy<\/a><\/p>\n
\nI am proudly enjoying
\nMy aspiration-heart’s
\nSoul-deep dive.<\/p>\n
\nIs a very brave step
\nInto the Unknowable.<\/p>\n
\nIt powerfully purifies
\nThe sleeping body,
\nThe strangling vital
\nAnd the doubting mind.<\/p>\n
\nI offer a very painful prayer to my Lord Supreme.
\nWhen I am in my aspiring heart,
\nMy Beloved Supreme blesses me
\nNot only with a soulful meditation
\nBut also with a fruitful satisfaction.<\/p>\n
\nTherefore my aspiration-flames
\nAre climbing up very fast
\nAnd are about to touch
\nThe Lotus-Feet of my Beloved Supreme.<\/p>\n
\nTo make your desire-story short
\nThen start singing immediately
\nA long aspiration-song.<\/p>\n
\nIf you lose your aspiration-heart,
\nYour frustration-mind
\nWill become larger than the largest.<\/p>\n
\nThis is what your heart needs.
\nGive your life illumination.
\nThis is what your life deserves.<\/p>\n
\nI was a lonely heart.
\nBut now I am
\nA smiling and dancing world-heart.<\/p>\n
\nFrightens me,
\nEven so,
\nThe eyes of my aspiration-heart
\nStrengthen me.<\/p>\n
\nIn His transcendental Heights,
\nEach seeker must have
\nA very long-range
\nAspiration-programme.<\/p>\n
\nAlways supply satisfaction-results.
\nIt may take time, at times,
\nBut the results are unmistakably
\nSure.<\/p>\n
\nBegins with new possibilities.
\nEvery aspiration-day
\nEnds with new achievements.<\/p>\n
\nIs a tiny aspiration-seed.
\nTomorrow what I shall have
\nIs a powerful developed realisation-blossom.<\/p>\n
\nBe enduring.
\nYour dedication-life will automatically
\nBe assuring.<\/p>\n
\nIn the battlefield of life
\nIf you are already well-acquainted
\nWith the real in you:
\nYour heart’s aspiration-cry?<\/p>\n
\nLike God’s Compassion,
\nWill be eternal, infinite and immortal.<\/p>\n
\nNo hostile force,
\nNo inconscience-monster
\nCan slow down the fastest speed
\nOf our aspiration-dedication-boat
\nThat is arriving at the Golden Shore
\nOf our Beloved Supreme
\nAt His own choice Hour.<\/p>\n
\nThat life is nothing
\nBut a dreadful nightmare.
\nMy aspiration-heart tells me
\nThat life can be
\nA lovely dream.
\nWhy not let me give a chance
\nTo my self-giving heart?<\/p>\n
\nIs a fast God-approaching day.
\nIndeed,
\nThis is a supreme experience
\nIn a seeker’s life.<\/p>\n
\nBut if you value your aspiration,
\nThen needless to say
\nIt swiftly ascends.<\/p>\n
\nHas turned his life’s frustration
\nInto a most powerful
\nAspiration-delight.<\/p>\n
\nDo not blind me!
\nJust let me return
\nTo my heart’s aspiration-home.<\/p>\n
\nA consciously widening opportunity
\nFor golden possibilities.<\/p>\n
\nIs our inner urge
\nTo transcend both
\nThe experience and the realisation
\nAlready achieved.<\/p>\n
\nAnd a mind of determination
\nReceive special
\nFondness-Blessings
\nFrom God.<\/p>\n
\nYour mind’s clouds
\nTo hover over
\nYour heart’s aspiration-tree.<\/p>\n
\nYour heart’s aspiration-spring
\nWill not be able
\nTo hide anymore.<\/p>\n
\nAn ever-mounting aspiration-flame,
\nIt makes no difference
\nWhat your weaknesses are.<\/p>\n
\nTo God-Consciousness.<\/p>\n
\nThat secretly and sacredly
\nUplifts our Consciousness
\nAnd finally liberates us.<\/p>\n
\nThat leads eternally
\nToward the ever-transcending Beyond.<\/p>\n
\nTo have God on our side.
\nBut we need the aspiration
\nTo throw ourselves on God’s side.<\/p>\n
\nIs a life of peace.<\/p>\n
\nIs a life of bliss.<\/p>\n
\nOn the strength of our inner cry,
\nWhich we call aspiration,
\nThe mounting flame within us.<\/p>\n
\nWe go far beyond the domain
\nOf the physical mind
\nAnd sit at the Feet of God the Light.<\/p>\n
\nIs aspiration.<\/p>\n
\nAnd nowhere else
\nDwells man’s \u00a0salvation.<\/p>\n
\nA sleepless aspiration-heart
\nIs God’s endless Satisfaction-Pride.<\/p>\n
\nOf your aspiration,
\nTry to feel
\nThat your life is a life of dedication.<\/p>\n
\nIs the soul – awakening.<\/p>\n
\nTwo things are of paramount importance:
\nWill power and prayer.<\/p>\n
\nIn its simplest definition,
\nIs a lovely flame
\nClimbing Heavenward.<\/p>\n
\nAnd surrender is man’s conscious oneness
\nWith God’s Will.<\/p>\n
\nIs not worth even an empty eggshell.<\/p>\n
\nEnergises the divine in me.<\/p>\n
\nOf your smile.
\nYou will see that the source
\nIs God’s own Aspiration-Cry.<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n
