I ask only that you turn to me when your mind drags you into grief or pride or 
envy. Bring me the depths of your mind, no matter how grotesque, how cruelly 
ravaged by doubts or disappointments. I know how to treat them. I will not 
reject you. I am your mother.

Why fear when I am here? Put all your faith in Me. I shall guide and guard you. 
 The godliness which is present in everybody in the form of a little spark 
exists in me as the full flame, and it is my mission to develop every little 
spark of God in everyone to the fullness of the divine flame.

Where there is a desire for mental tranquility, I hurry to grant tranquility. 
Where there is dispiritedness, I hasten to raise the drooping heart. Where 
there is no mental trust, I rush to restore trust. I am ever on the move to 
fulfill the mission for which I have come.

I never utter a word that does not have significance, or do a deed without 
beneficial consequence.What I will, must take place; what I plan must succeed.  

Transformation must begin with the individual. When the individual changes, the 
world will change. This transformation has to take place in the minds of men. 
Right thoughts will lead to right actions.

Do not bother about what has happened in the past. Get immersed in the tasks of 
the present. Render service with a pure and selfless heart. The delight of the 
individual gladdens the Divine. Equally the Divine esteems you. Do everything 
with the Lord's name on your lips. Develop all that is good in you and share 
that goodness with one and all.
