True Nature

 

Keep on Calling God

 [Letter] Written [by Holy Mother] to Kamala Sengupta ſundated]:

My dear daughter Kamala,

Keep some religious books with you and read them when you have time and opportunity. Always meditate on the form of God and repeat His name. Whatever divine form you like, meditate on that form. As it is not possible to have holy company always, so study the holy books. Thus the mind becomes pure and perfect. 

Don't yield to laziness, which ruins both the body and the mind. While working with the hands, repeat God's name mentally. If you don't feel any urge to repeat the mantra, force your-self to practise it. It will definitely purify your mind. Do not worry. Just call on God. He is compassionate and loving. If you call on Him whole-heartedly, His grace will dawn on you. Don't be afraid. Keep on calling on God; you will witness His infinite grace.

Please accept my affectionate blessings,

Your well-wisher 

Mother

No Harm

 

Don't Neglect Spiritual Practices

 

No End to God's Mercy

Once Basudevananda and other monks were making a lot of noise downstairs. Golap-ma became upset and said to Holy Mother: “What is this? You have no control over these boys. The Master would discipline his disciples. No one could misbehave even slightly."

The Mother replied: "What can I do? I don't see any fault in others, so how can I discipline them? Moreover, I am their Mother. How can I punish them? I receive them and clean away their dirt and impurities. They are all the Master's children. Is it so easy to punish them? He has his own way of making everything right. His overwhelming love will set them straight. Our Master was the embodiment of love. There was no harshness or rudeness in him. When people say, 'Well, God will give the result of that person's karma,' I then pray to the Master, 'Master, do good to both the ignorant and the intelligent.' 

I tell the boys: 'Don't harbour ill-feeling for others. Don't pray to God to take action against others. Rather, pray for the welfare of the oppressor.' God's judgement is well-balanced and there is not the slightest mistake in it. There is no end to His mercy."
