A Dream
Sweet Mother,
I was in the queue for prosperity with Tara, just before coming to YOU. There was a table with several objects such as albums, perfumes, photos and YOU showed me a whole range of objects on which my name figured. YOU asked me to take them and I did so quickly and put them in my pocket.
Then, I went quickly to see YOU. Tara was already at your feet. I had forgotten some objects which K passed to Tara who wanted to put them back so that I should receive them from YOU but already I had taken them mid-way and Tara told me, “Let the Mother give them to you.” I realised my mistake and immediately I handed over all the objects YOU had given. To receive them I wished to sit at your feet and in doing so, I delivered a light kick to YOU… who was just behind. YOU smiled and stepped back.
Then YOU cupped my face in both your hands, YOU looked at me for quite a while and YOU said, “You are much closer to me than I had thought.” I replied, “Yes Mother, it is just as I had felt.” YOU were so happy, YOU drew me to Your chair, YOU embraced me, YOU did not wish to release me, YOU said to me, “You ought to work with me.” YOU continued to embrace me for long, YOU did not wish to let me go. There were lots of people all around us and they wished matters to be hurried up as there were many waiting in the long queue. But YOU would have none of it, YOU continued to embrace me. Then B… said, “Mother, YOU have to visit Auroville at 10 o’clock.” Even so, YOU did not listen to any of it, YOU continued to embrace. I was feeling so happy and I was lost in Thee. I too, did not wish to let you go.
Finally, B… came and unfolded the arms that surrounded me and then your leg around me, YOU did not want to leave me. But since he insisted a lot, I made an attempt to disengage. The others in the queue were getting impatient and YOU finally let me go. YOU smiled and I left.
When I came down, I saw those forming the queue rising and saying that they had been sitting for at least half an hour. In the queue there was Vandana who had come to see me, YOU asked me to wait for her. I told her that I would wait for her at home and I came home as if in a trance.
Such was my dream and even as I woke up, I continued to see vividly all the scenes in it.
Your child,
Promesse
On The Mother
Her voice comes to me on the wings of light, a voice whose notes command not, a voice that comes lightning-like to the hearts of men and opens the doors of love.
Was it a message or a reply, a call from above to lift the curtain and unveil the sweeps of light, bliss and grandeur?
Time began with the planting of a tiny seed of love in the mud of a desolate and eyeless world. The history of this universe is a strange chronicle of the growth of this seedling into the magnificent tree of human aspiration whose boughs reach far into the sky. Humanity stands today on the crossroads and the next great turn has to be chosen. But left to himself man is powerless to choose even his own destiny.
O man! Rip yourself open and find in your heart your godhead, your Mother. For she alone can bear your burden and she alone can shower Her grace and fashion the blossoms of a luminous fulfilment.
“The choice is imperative.” Is this a command or is it an answer from above that rings a bell somewhere deep within us and bathes our hearts in a symphony of colours?
“The choice is imperative.” The voice that utters, it speaks to the yearning heart of men and hearts touched by Her love answer to Her call. The heart sees no choice, does not reason, but takes refuge in Her, the Mother. It has no fear, and abyss there is none.
There is a burning efflorescence, a soaring column of love that in a final spurt of effect will lead man into the flames of the kingdom of Truth and Bliss.
