Ambu's Correspondence with The Mother

29 September 1941

My dear faithful child,

You are not taking too much freedom, you are not behaving badly, you are not misusing my affection and kindness. So remain happy and do not worry.

With my love and blessings

The red lotus is the Avatar.

The white lotus is the Divine Consciousness.

In a prayer you ask something from the Divine—in a meditation you contemplate and express a truth.

Love and blessings to my dear faithful Baby

Ma, what is perfection?

To be exactly what the Divine wants of us.

O Ma!

Ananda, Peace, Purity in me so I can do as Thou wishest. What must I do so I can become helpful to Thee?

Receive fully what I give you; like that you can help me in my work for you.

The great secret for receiving is to give oneself. Give yourself unreservedly to the Divine and you will receive fully the Divine's Love and Happiness.

You say that you want to become conscious of my presence in you; is it not your goal?

First you must want it, and then you must try again and again to concentrate deep inside your heart.

Open your mind like a silent cave and I shall come in there also.

My dear faithful Baby,

Surely you must feel that I have come ... prepare a nice quiet place for me in your mind and I will always remain there.

With love and blessings

It is because you allow the discontentment to come that you cannot feel the presence of "Mother" who is always with you, helping, protecting and loving.

O my lovely Ma,

Often in the day my faith gets shaken. My days are passing in struggle. Thy love and presence 1 forget.

Yes, you must steadily push away all that stands between you and me, like doubts and restlessness and depression. And then you will feel my constant presence, which is a fact.

Ma! First push out sadness and depression. Establish Thy Ananda, Peace and Happiness...

Keep firm and courageous—the attack will pass and you will feel quite well once more.

I am always with you.

O Ma, Your Peace! Give me strength to fight against hostile forces. O Ma, come! Make the way...

Let your trust in the help grow and the struggle will soon be over.

Yes, if you remain steady and throw away the attacks, they are obliged to leave you and finally they will come no more. Just look carefully and listen silently and you are sure to find me there, in the quiet stillness of your heart.

This is quite a good resolution. Yes, we will stand and fight together and conquer these bad enemies: sadness and depression. They must not be allowed to approach you anymore.

I also cannot understand why you allow yourself to be in that condition. You must try to become more conscious and less passively open to anything and everything that wants to catch hold of you.

Shake off this unpleasant state and recover your true condition of happiness.

My help and love are always with you, but you must make use of them.

My dear Baby will be entirely happy when he will listen to truth instead of listening to falsehood and believing the false things that people tell him against me.

My love and blessings are always with you.

I did not mock, I did not laugh. I smiled as usual with all my affection. Is it that something is tormenting you that you felt in that way?

Ma, come into my mind. Purify my mind, live within it, make it wide, fill it with Thy thoughts.

O my lovely Ma, Come! I can't keep patient. When will it be all right? O Ma, come!

Why so much hurry? You are progressing well now. Be a little more patient and all will be soon all right.

...suddenly I awoke and jumped from my bed. At this moment I heard a fierce sound outside. My body began to tremble. Again I went to bed but still my body was trembling. In the sleep also I felt unwell.

You are quite right in not getting upset, but you must overcome the fear also. You must learn not to be frightened by anything; and when fear tries to approach you, you must think: "My Mother is with me, what harm can happen to me?"

With love and blessings

My dear faithful Baby,

Do not lose courage. One day the Light will catch hold of your body and all your miseries will go.

Why do you think that your body is weak? If you are sure that it is strong, it will become quite healthy and strong.

Love and blessings

There is no question of your breaking down. Be fully confident: you will reach the goal.

Lovely Ma!

Give me your finger and lead me...

I am quite ready to give you the help not only of a finger but of the full hand.

Come to me in your sleep, my dear faithful Baby. You will be always welcomed.

With love and blessings

My dear faithful Baby,

Yes, rest with your head on my lap and my love in your heart.

Do you not know that your happiness is me? .. .
