Prayers given by The Mother to Mona Sarkar
The Mother : Contact Prayers to Sri Aurobindo & MA
THEME/S
What then is this weakness in me? What then is my understanding? What then is my attitude which lacks the Truth? What then is my effort which seems asleep? What then is my consciousness that has not awakened? And yet, who am I but Thou— Thou in Thy sublime beatitude, Thou in Thy supreme knowledge, Thou in Thy omnipotence, Thou in Thy omniscience! If truly I am Thou, wilt Thou not give me Thy Power, Thy Knowledge, Thy Peace And Thy Love with that Delight? Why this harsh difference? Why this contradiction in us? What dost Thou want to make of us? What dost Thou want to tell us? What dost Thou want to teach us? I know that I am Thou, yet I do not know Thee at all. I know that I can follow Thee, yet do I go astray. I know that I am without blemish, yet have I failings. I know that I am pure like a diamond, Yet are there outward impurities. When will I be able to stand before Thee Like a mirror reflecting Thee alone?
