The Eternal Mother

=====================

 

 

There is no meditation in the world which can be done without Love.

Until and unless we have established a relation between our goal and

ourselves, any trial to reach the goal will be fruitless. It is the

relation which gives us strength, concentration and pulsation to

drown deep into the meditation and reach our final aim of love.

 

some intellectuals treat this Love and bhakti as a lower mental stage

and think themselves above a Bhakta or lover of God, taking their

intellectual goal of a God without love and emotions. Well I

do accept the supreme consciousness is beyond guna and any type of

emotions, but Shakti the immediate next manifestation of the supreme

is full of gunas and hold all emotions specially love in its purest

form and since this manifestation is not duality in real but

apparent, supreme consciousness can be called an embodiment of love.

 

Normally God is treated as a father in most of the meditations. But

for a Shaktaa God as Mother does those wonders which no other

meditation can do. A shakti sadhakaa treats this Adi Shakti (eternal

Energy) as Mother, a relation which is purest and most selfless

relation in the world. This relation of a Mother and a son is pure

divine Love nothing else.

 

Baba baba sab kahen Maiyaa kahe na koye !

Baba ke darbar mein Maiya kare so hoye !!

 

(All see towards the God as father, and very few look towards Mother.

They do not know that in this Universe of Father,it is the Mother who

rule (father only watches the game of Shakti)

 

So why look towards a Father who is unattached, who is unconcerned,

who is non-emotional and who is not moved on our pains and our

sufferings. Why not worship the Mother (Shakti) who is joy

and love herself, who is Ananda herself, who is grief herself and

bless herself.

 

Buddhi (intelligence) which is trying to find God, is nothing but a

manfestattion of the Mother (shakti). Mind which is trying to

concentrate on the God is nothing but a lower manifestation of Mother

herself. Then why not ask the Shakti, the owner of these faculties,

to show us her real self, her unity with Father ?

 

A father (Lord Rama) sent his pregnant wife (sita) to forest on a

small doubt…and Mother Sita even after getting insulted, looks after

children of Lord Rama with so much love and affection that they never

cared who their father was. Such is the greatness of a Mother

 

Tvayyetada dharyantey vishwam twayetatsrijayate jagat !

Twayyetatpalyaate devi twamtasyante cha sarvada

Vishrishtau srishtiroopah twam sthitiroopa cha palatey

Tathaa samhritiroopante jagtosyaa jaganmaye.

 

(Hey Mother, you create this Universe by manifesting as Brahmi

You look after this universe lovingly as Vaishnavi

You, in the end destroy this universe as Raudri

You are in each particle of this Universe.

 

Saumya saumyatara sheshsaumyebhaya stwati sundari

Prapranam parma twamev parmeshwari

 

( O Mother you are more beautiful than the beautiful....more kind

than the most kind. You are superior to the supreme

who else but you are my Paramtama (god))

 

So if an enchanted child cries for his mother then what wrong can

touch him, will mother let him suffer ? And our love wil force her

one day to appear before us.

 

Tulsidas has written

 

Hari vyapak sarvatra smana

Premte prakat hoi main janaa

 

(God is there in every particle of the universe but it

is only my Love which has made him appear before me, I have known

now.)

 

So let us call the mother in Sahaj (natural/simple) Sadhna and she

will appear before us soon...i am sure
