Passage 6

In English

Yearn for the ecstasy of Divine Mother's vision

used to cry in agony at the loss of another day, without the vision of the Divine Mother. Have that yearning; feel that sense of urgency: Seek to know now, yearn for that ecstasy this moment. Do not postpone or spend time in discussing others. Trying to satisfy the sense is a dreary desert path. Do not imitate other nations, and compete with other cultures in external pomp. Yours is a mind, intelligence, ear and eye shaped by Indian tradition and culture, Indian history and (eternal religion). Move along those lines and success is certain. You may have only a picture of before you, or an image in metal or an idol in stone. But, if you have the faith that He is alive and present in it, and that He is in your heart and the hearts of all beings, then, you can get the ecstasy of that knowledge, the knowledge that He is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. While meditating, first imagine and feel that you are in the Light, then, gradually, you can feel the Light is in you, not outside you; and finally, you will realise the Truth, that You and the Light are One and will ever be One. The Divine is a wine, that would intoxicate you. It is produced by the nectar that the Name of the Lord is saturated in. Taste it and you forget everything else; you are transformed. Man is, they say, a monkey that has lost its tail; well, he must lose many more attributes of the monkey before he is entitled to call himself man. He must dedicate his thoughts, words and deeds to God, and surrender to His Will. Then only is this animal entitled to become a Man, in whom the Divine is enshrined.
