Passage 15

In English

Who is the true mother? Well, who has left? The individual soul. Then who is the mother? The individual soul is the mother. When there is no individual soul, nobody will respect the body. Hence, who is the true mother? That is God! God is the mother. God is the father. More than your mother, God is nearer to you. More than your father, God is closer to you. It is a great sin to forget God. The word of is the word of truth. (Telugu poem) You may have close proximity with your mother; she may be close to the body, but God is within your body. So, God is much closer to you than your mother. Never forget God, who is closer to you than the closest. God is responsible for the whole creation. God is the ideal for your life. God is your very breath. Always remember, worship and follow Him at all times. The body is just an instrument, which should be put to proper use. When the instrument is in good condition, you can perform all tasks with it. If you want to dig a pit, the crowbar you carry should be sharp and pointed. If the crowbar is not sharp, you can never dig the pit in spite of all the strength of your hands. When your own power joins the power of the instrument, the expected pit can be dug well. When human effort is combined with God’s grace, it is possible to perform any task.
