The Divine Mother

[Guest guest]

Everyone should consider it his foremost duty today to revere the mother as

divine and serve her, regardless of country or circumstance. If a man cannot

respect and serve the mother, who has borne him for nine months, brought him

forth into the world and reared him over the years, whom else is he likely to

respect? Maternal love is akin to that of the Creator who projects and protects

this infinite cosmos in countless ways. One individual may elect to worship the

Divine in the form of his favorite goddess. Another may worship God in a

different form and derive bliss from such worship. Each one should note that the

forms in which the Divine is worshipped by others are as important to them as

his own chosen deity is to him. If, on the contrary, he criticizes or casts a

slur on the deities worshipped by others, he is committing a grievous sin,

however well he may be performing his own worship. Likewise, a man should show

equal regard and reverence for mothers of others as he shows for his own

mother.

 

There are several notable examples in daily life of the divine quality which

motherhood represents. The cow converts its own blood into nourishing milk for

man to sustain his body. The cow is the first example of the Divine as Mother.

The Earth comes next. Like the Divine, the Earth bears man in its bosom and

takes care of him in many ways. Hence the Earth also is the embodiment of the

Mother.
