But blessed indeed is he who can offer his mind, like a fresh flower, at the feet of the Lord from his very childhood. One should practise renunciation in youth. 42. Love is our forte. It is through love that the Master's family has taken shape. 43. Do not be afraid; the Master is behind you, and I am, too, as your Mother. 44. Today the human body is, tomorrow it is not; even the shortest span of life is beset with pain and misery. He who is able to renounce all for God's sake is a living God. 45. I am the Mother of the virtuous, I am the Mother of the wicked. Whenever you are in distress, say to yourself: 'I have a mother.' 46. My son, if a thorn pricks your foot, it hurts me like a spear entering my heart. 47. Know that service to your mother is your highest duty. But it is a different matter if she stands in the way of your spiritual progess. 48. As long as man has desires, there is no end to his transmigration. It is desires that make him take one body after anohter. There will be rebirth for a man if he has even the desire to eat a piece of candy. 49. Just surrender yourself to Him, you will then feel His grace. 50. As you smell the fragrance of a flower while handling it or the smell of sandal wood while rubbing it against a stone, so you obtain spiritual awakening by constantly thinking of God. If you become desireless you can realise Him right now. 51. Only through work can one remove the bodage of work. Total detachment comes later. One should not be without work even for a moment. Work helps one to fend off idle thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
