Omkara Divya Porule IV

[Guest guest]

Chanting the mantra 'Hrim', let the mind flow like a river towards the Ocean of

Love and meet and become one with It.

 

Children, search for the straight road towards the Truth with a desireless

attitude. Walk on the path of Liberation with a clear intellect and reason.

 

Children, make intense internal effort for the dawning of the Inner Light.

Remember, my children, that without the inner awakening, there is no peace of

soul.

 

One can clearly perceive one's Self in the sunlight of desirelessness. Always be

engaged in self-enquiry to attain peace of mind.

 

Children, try to get peace of mind through integration of thought. In order to

gain peace and put an end to sorrow, get established in internal equanimity.

 

Mother will take your hand and lead you, removing your painful shackles. She

will clear your path through the fire of worldly existence and support you lest

you slip.

 

Children, carefully nurture your reflection on the Supreme Prin¬ciple and

remember Existence-Awareness-Bliss. Gain Liberation by offering your mind with

full devotion to the Self.

 

Respecting God sitting far away in heaven is not what is needed. Nor need one

think that Mother is God. What is needed is to know who really you are.

 

To love everyone is Mother's inborn nature. It is a truth that all the children

who reach Mother have had their relationship with Her from the previous birth as

well.

 

When the mind is purified like butter (ghee), what is real will reflect as It is

within. When the Self, now under the spell of the mind, is awakened, the entire

universe becomes the beautiful form of the Self.

 

To be free of danger, one should be obedient to the commands of God. Children,

if you lose your self- confidence, a sorrowful sense of futility will flourish.

 

Give attention to the essence of Mother's advice and cultivate internal purity.

Then children, the Divine World of Eternal Bliss will shine forth within you.

 

Maya, the Great Power of Illusion, is pushing us back from progressing

(spiritually). We are spending our days in body--consciousness with a heart full

of sorrow.

 

What a pity that the devil of desire, which affects us through illusory

temptations, kicks us into the dark abyss of Maya (illu¬sion), making us the

food for the god of Death.

 

If you get caught in the grip of the devil of desire, woe to you! for you will

lose your soul. All worries will come to an end if only you give up your desires

and keep your hopes in God alone.

 

To remove the weariness of loneliness, develop the awareness of the Oneness of

the Soul. When that consciousness dawns, there ends fear, sorrow and illusion.

 

We should live on this earth for the upliftment of the soul. Let each breath of

ours carry the message of peace to the world. Without purity of mind, no one can

grasp the subtle experience of Truth. And without that, the attitude of selfless

service is impos¬sible.

 

By incessant repetition of the mantra within, letting the mind shine like a

star, and diving deep into the soul within, get Liberation.

 

Before getting too old to do anything worthy, become capable of gaining your

soul, my children. On Your deathbed, your father, mother, wife and Son will not

be there to save you.

 

Be brave, my children, and give up body-consciousness. Remember that the soul

cannot be burned by fire but is the Fire to even fire itself.

 

Renunciation is the real power on earth and world peace is the real achievement

in this world. Love is the effulgence and vigor of this earth and knowledge its

illumining soul.

 

Children, please think it over peacefully; only light can remove darkness. Grasp

what is meant by renunciation, for only in that there is complete rest.

 

One should have faith, humility, a disciplined mind, compassion, selflessness,

strength and patience.

 

All the different religions lead us to the same Principle. It is like a painter

using different colors to paint a picture.

 

Give up enmity, children, and remember that all are friends. Try to find out the

means to relieve others of their sorrows even at the cost of your own comfort.

 

Nothing is separate from the Unity of Existence. All are but diverse aspects of

the same Truth. If you look upon someone as separate from yourself, you are but

alienating yourself from yourself.

 

Children, make all of your actions into worship of God. Know that any action

done against Him only binds you.

 

Children, make your mind pure and then understand the essence of dharma

(righteousness). If you perpetuate the evil desire for ever new things, it will

lead to disappointment.

 

We should lead our life in this world with an attitude of reverence. Be watchful

in spirit and root out desires from the mind.

 

The intellect which knows the Truth will not be swayed by external wealth. Those

who cannot discriminate between the inert and the conscious are as good as dead.

 

Even though the world is naught but Consciousness and matter does not matter at

all, during the initial stages of spiritual practice, a discriminating intellect

is needed to differentiate between the two for the sake of our growth.

 

The Nectar of Knowledge will gush forth in the mind that is absorbed in

meditation and the Vedas and Upanishads will shine forth of themselves from

within as clear as daylight.

 

Remove the darkness of ignorance by thinking of God with a burning heart. There

should be total surrender to that One within in the form of one's own soul.

 

Know that if the Compassionate One is pleased, your life will be fulfilled. For

those who take refuge in Him with sincere devotion, God is for them the Eternal

Bliss Itself.
