I have come to give you the key to the treasure of ananda, or bliss, to
teach you how to tap that spring, for you have forgotten the way to
blessedness. If you waste this time of saving yourselves, it is just your fate.
You have come to get from me tinsel and trash, the petty little cures and
promotions, worldly joys and comforts. Very few of you desire to get from me
the thing that I have come to give you: namely, liberation itself. Even among
these few, those who stick to the path of sadhana, or spiritual practice, and
succeed are a handful.
I am determined to correct you only after informing you of my
credentials. That is why I am now and then announcing my Nature by means of
miracles, that is, acts which are beyond human capacity and human
understanding. Not that I am anxious to show off my Powers. The object is do
draw you closer to me, to cement your hearts to me.
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.
