Manifestation of the Divine

Undated

To Mona with my blessings.

“Day and night the Presence is there.
It is enough to turn silently inward and detect it.”

The Mother

For Mona, three prayers.

“Lord, I aspire to serve Thee faithfully.”
“Lord, deliver me from all ignorance; give me the true faith.”
“Lord, I thirst for Thy consciousness,
I thirst for an integral union with Thee.”

The Mother

To Mona with my blessings.

“Day and night the Presence is there.
It is enough to turn silently inward and detect It.”

The Mother

To Mona with my blessings.

“Do only what you could do before me without feeling embarrassed;
say only what you could repeat to me without difficulty.
The goal is not to lose oneself in the Divine Consciousness.
The goal is to let the Divine Consciousness penetrate into Matter and transform it.”

The Mother

For Mona, a prayer:

“Thine are all my thoughts, all my emotions,
all the sentiments of my heart,
all my sensations, all the movements of my life,
each cell of my body, each drop of my blood.
What Thou wilt of me, that I shall be.
Each one of Thy gifts will be always for me a gift divine
bringing with it the supreme Felicity.”

With my blessings

The Mother

Let my strength be full of peace,
May my peace be full of joy
May my joy be full of hope . . .
in the future realisation.

Give me the strength
to smile in all circumstances

Grant that I may always accept joyfully
all that comes from Thee.

Grant that I may think only of what I want to be.

Grant that my trust in Thee
does not depend on outward circumstances.

To Mona with my blessings.

“O Lord, with mind drawn inward
and heart full of sunlight,
I give myself to Thee without reserve
and the I disappears in Thee.”

The Mother

     O supreme and only Confidant, Thou who knowest
beforehand all we can say to Thee because Thou art its source!
     O supreme and only Friend, Thou who acceptest,
Thou who lovest, Thou who understandest us just as we are,
because it is Thyself who hast so made us!
     O supreme and only Guide, Thou who never gainsayest
our highest will because it is Thou Thyself who willest in it!
     It would be folly to seek elsewhere than in Thee for one
who will listen, understand, love and guide, since always
Thou art there ready to our call and never wilt Thou fail us!
     Thou hast made me know the supreme, the sublime joy
of a perfect confidence, an absolute serenity, a surrender total
and without reserve or colouring, free from effort or constraint.
     Joyous like a child I have smiled and wept at once before Thee,
O my Well-Beloved! ²
