Mother You said so ...

5 June 1956

Once there was a baby cat. It was in its mother's mouth. Suddenly it jumped from the mouth and went to play with a scorpion. Its mother was against its playing with the bad creature but it did not listen. Now by, it’s very nature, the scorpion stung the baby cat. The kitten screamed and wept. At once it ran to its mother and told her all about the scorpion. The mother asked, "Then why did you jump out of my mouth?"

The hostile forces are like the scorpion. They are very had indeed. If you do not look at them or listen to them, the evil forces can be destroyed. People should constantly refuse when the adverse forces put false suggestions before them. Otherwise these forces would destroy everything.

There are so many beings, and in each being there are so many other beings also. They come up at every moment and take so many different forms and harass the true being. The devil always spreads his influence in human lives.

I know how the hostile forces enter people's brains—it is from anger, dislike and innumerable desires and useless matters. First of all, anger catches the legs and gradually it goes up to the navel and then to the heart and finally to the brain. The people get terribly hurt. Once anger enters the brain. It is difficult to control oneself. So we should prevent it from coming in. Then it is easier and overcome it.

In the ordinary world, people remain mostly satisfied with small pleasures—but, indeed, some parts of their being aspire for higher things. Here, there is nothing except the Divine. So, naturally, the lower vital and the lower mind and other parts of the being begin to make an uproar and they revolt against the true being and upset people's hearts. There may also be at times interference from other people. But one could not mind whether they are kind to one or not. Also, none have a right to interfere with others' affairs—it is not their business. On the contrary, they should remember their goal and the Divine. And whatever comes from Him, they should accept it and surrender themselves to the Divine ac-cording to the Divine's Will.

This comes by constant practise. Everyone has to change himself sooner or later. I am constantly working in people; whether they are conscious or not, they feel or not, the Grace is always there.

If people submit to the hostile forces, then what is the use? When these bad forces come and start their mischief, people should ignore them and build the wall of a clear 'NO' in front of them. And they should repeat, "The Divine's Victory is certain."

Everyone must turn to the Divine Light and surrender to the Truth only. I know the end, and the Victory is certain.

Already I have given everyone all my strength that they need. Now they have to use it and reject all lower things from their nature and I am always with them to help them.

You must be more clever to outplay the tricks of the hostile forces and their suggestions. You can do everything tactfully against them. Also, you must remain firm in your aspiration for the Goal.

Everyone has difficulties but truly there is a joy in getting out of them. If you have this joy, you can know the real thing, not otherwise.
