Friends! Would you Recognize One’s intrinsic worth?

I’m the Mother; the Nothingness too. We know, more or less, from our very birth what ‘Mother’ means. But what is about ‘Nothingness’? It remains ever unrevealed to us. In the light of education, culture and civilization people guess something and that’s all. How little it is!

‘Nothingness’, in fact, stands for that endless, which extends just above our head and stretches far and wide in every direction. The end, as a matter of fact, is in the womb of the endless. Who can conceive its form! Once a baby is born, it proves its identity and attains maturity. ‘The truth manifests itself if we have faith’—saying thus we can keep ourselves ever occupied with intoxication. Those endless remain ever unknown and vast. Scientifically devotion has nothing to do. Spiritually reason has immense to achieve.

But the phrase ‘manifests itself’ stands ambiguous. In one sense it helps something to appear. But is it not merely consolation? It refutes outright everything like strength and reasoning only to spirit away the existence of God, as a piece of camphor, just vanishes being left exposed. In another sense if we think that ‘manifestation’ is nothing but the end of conflict, can that ever be possible? Being utterly helpless, we found no way but to depend on Ma-Mahajnan, the Mother to all.

She inspires the faculties of every one of us, irrespective of ordinary or extraordinary, in course of analysis—not only today, but ever since we could come to stay in her noble association. There should not be any flaw in what little we attain. We may be unable to know even a little about the immensity. But is there any bar to understanding different kinds of wood individually—like shal (a timber tree), teak, mango and jack-fruit? Unless we are born in a cultured family, what’s the gain of being spiritually inclined! Culture, indeed, has a great signification. One should be self-cultured by birth; none of the parents throughout the world ever have possessed that state of mind.

The key-word of Ma-Mahajnan sets us pondering. Being seriously involved in the affairs of house-hold she teaches us unceasingly—all the while most affectionately, very seldom scolding. Unusual was her behavior—patience, dealings and justice. All of a sudden she might say—O Lord! Endow me with the strength to accomplish well-protected tasks.’ Hearing ‘well-protected task’ I got startled. Alone I have had stayed to meditate on it.

Once Mother touched on it—it refers to the tasks well-arranged. We could comprehend that it points to her usual daily round under the pressure of a busy schedule. We would of course come to realize about her well-protected task as well as the prime ordeal truth and The Absolute Being, provided we are capable of cleansing ourselves within.

Only a few months ago we could confidently say—So long this great genius is in human frame, one is required to know and understand all about knowledge that helps one attain perfection in life and the nature of ignorance that makes one helpless at every step. Alas!

With war regards, I remain
Yours in the Diviner

Great Ma-Mahajnan)
