A Song for Our Mother-part 1

[Guest guest]

Om Shanti! <br><br>"A Rise My child, go forth as

spirit! <br>Bear spiritually what is thy lot to bear,

<br>that which comes to thy hand to be done, <br>do with

full strength and fear not. <br>Forget not that I, the

giver of manhood, <br>the giver of womanhood, the

holder of<br>victory, am thy Mother.<br><br>Think not

life is serious! What is destiny <br>but Mother's

play? Come, be My play fellow <br>awhile, --meet all

happenings merrily.<br>Murmerest thou of need of purpose?

<br>Think'st thou the ball is purposeless <br>with which the

Mother plays? Know'st thou <br>not that Her toy is the

thunderbolt, <br>charged with power to shatter the

worlds,<br>at the turn of Her wrist? Ask not of <br>plans.

Needs the arrow any plan when it <br>is loosed from the

bow? Such art thou. <br>When the life is lived, the

plan will <br>stand revealed. <br><br>Till then, O

child know nothing!<br><br>My Sport is unerring. For

that alone <br>set forth on the day's journey. Think

<br>it was for my pleasure thou camest forth <br>into

the world, and for that again, when<br>night falls,

and my desire is accomplished,<br>I shall withdraw

thee to My rest. Ask nothing. Seek nothing. Let My

will flow through thee,<br>as the ocean though an

empty shell.<br><br>[continued]<br><br>Om Shanti
