Daily Prayers

Sweet and infinite Mother, Mother Divine, when one travels through different countries one perceives how humanity has evolved and is still evolving along different lines stressing upon one or another aspect of our humanity. The clash of different groups of mankind is often like the internal conflict and contradiction between different parts of our nature. As long as we try to solve the conflict through the mechanisms available to the national ego the semblance of peace and unity will always be precarious. It is only if nations engage in discovering their national soul, the deeper aspiration and true ideal, the dharma of each group that we can hope to arrive at true unity.

At the same time, behind the mask of differences, one discovers that humanity is very much the same everywhere with similar internal conflicts and challenges, at the root of which there is always the human ego and the desire to grow and expand by devouring the other units or flattening all into equality by the power of the State machinery. Both methods end up finishing the diversity.

Maa, perhaps the time is drawing near for each nation to find its soul, for each group of humanity to discover its true dharma that goes beyond the professed religion and ideology, and for humanity to wake up as a whole to its deepest Self, the Divine Self and live to express Its Glory in our everyday life and dealings.

Maa, let Thy Kingdom come, the Divine Kingdom where all outer means are replaced by a spontaneous intuitive awareness of Thy Will and actions aligned to it. Shedding all hypocrisy and duplicity may we grow always more and more sincere. Let our actions speak more than the words for man seems to have perfected the art of saying one thing and doing another. May the nations grow sincere in their speech and actions.

In sincerity lies the key, the key to the kingdom of the Spirit, the key to harmony and unity and peace.

Mother Divine, Maa,

May our days be a constant ascension towards the Sun of Truth, Beauty, Power, Life, and the Sun of Divine Consciousness that governs all existence.

May our noons be akin to the labour of the gods, shrinking from no battle that Your work may require, no service that may be demanded of us, no sacrifice that may be needed for Thy Divine Manifestation, no activity that may be needed as part of Thy New Creation.

May our evenings be deep and meditative with the sweet whispers of Thy Love drawing us inwards in a concentration, solemn and silent. May the sun descend into our heart cave and illumine our inner being as it withdraws from the outer sight.

May our nights be restful and assimilative of all Thy countless gifts of the day restoring us by Thy healing and soothing touch for the new and greater dawns to arrive. Wherever our body may be, may we lie in Your lap, nestle in Thy heart, held by Thee in Thy sweet embrace.

O Supreme Love, fill our moments with Thy beatitude, fill our life with the fragrance of Thy wonderful Love.

Mother Divine, Maa,
human life, especially in the cities is so cramped up psychologically. Man lives as if wearing a mask of fears and anxieties or attachments and pleasure-hunts that cover and blind his eyes, isolate him from all the beauty and joy around. He is shut to the inner peace and joy and closed in a narrow cage of thoughts and feelings and efforts centered around his little self and desires, he has totally lost the natural harmony with the rest of creation. He is shut up, as it were in the prison of an ignorant mind and limited senses that conceals much more than it reveals. A limited mind and limited effort build the psychological house we dwell in. But Thou wouldst want us to be wide and supple, equal and in harmony with all this that is.

Maa, may all our inner doors and windows open to Thy vast Immensity and stepping out of the prison of the ego may we lose our separate self and rediscover ourselves in Thee, breathe Thy infinity, live in Thy eternity. May we recover the lost harmony on a new and diviner basis. May we be nothing so that we may be one with all in Thee.

Mother Divine,
a strange and inexplicable peace, a subtle joy and harmony, the gentle throb of a sweet love can be easily felt wherever the human footfall is few. It is so easy to feel Thy majestic Presence wrapped in an inner Silence in the forest, in wilderness, in the desert sand dunes, in the mountains pouring their heart of love in streams rushing towards the plains, in the stars moving quietly in space. From the minute to the vast, all speaks of Thy Presence. But the coming of man, the intervention of the human mind, even when it tries to create beauty, disturbs this spontaneous harmony. Our idea of beauty is something seen or felt in isolation whereas the beauty in material nature is as if flowing into each other, merging with the backdrop as if woven with threads of a vast universal love. It is like the difference that one feels while seeing a beautiful garden or landscape built by human hands and the wild blooming of the flowers and plants with creepers and animal life and the various fragrances blending into each other. Nothing is unduly prominent, each element is as if the part of a wholeness, as if the canvas itself is beautiful with all its asymmetry and free flowing patterns. Even the best of human art is a good imitation.

And yet, man is Thy chosen vehicle who carries the burden of a high and luminous future. He is the instrument of Nature through which she hopes to climb to her own origin, the Divine Supernature. Man is the means built by nature through which she hopes to discover her Lord whose image she has sheltered in her heart. May man rise up to his real purpose and crossing the perilous bridge discover what he always carried within yet seeks outside. May our life fulfil the great purpose for which it has come into existence.

Mother Divine,
Looking at how much of needless complexity we have introduced in life, I wonder how far the human experiment will stretch before it bursts into the fully conscious divinity held within its human seed. It was needed as a passage in our journey out of the unconscious animal simplicity into a fully conscious divine simplicity. But now it has prolonged over a million years or more. It is time now to ascend beyond the mental curve into a new kind, a new species. Short of that there is little hope of a collective emancipation.

Maa, give us the will of a conqueror for whom it is now or never, the energy of an indefatigable swimmer willing to cross the Atlantic, the strength and perseverance of a climber who would scale the highest summits, the faith of a man who refuses to give up in the face of a blinding storm threatening his little boat that has ventured far into the sea.

With an unwavering faith and surrender we give ourselves to Thee and Thy Work, O our supreme Hero and Queen in the great battle of the future. May we always fight under Thy banner, whether as a sword in Thy hands or steel and wood in Thy chariot.

Mother Divine, Maa,
how beautiful is life in its simplicity, pure as Truth itself, untouched by wants, unadulterated by desires, straight and simple and frank and spontaneous in its expression, direct and clear in expression. How beautiful is to witness the rising sun and as it goes down to illumine the heart of the night and to other fields. How beautiful to see the bursting of red and pink and green with a fragrance that reminds us of the first virgin moment of love. How beautiful to see the tree spread out its branches reaching out to the Light in so many ways. How beautiful to see a river flow, a cuckoo sing, a lion leap, the moon glide through the sky spontaneously as if it could not be otherwise. Yet the intervention of the mind has spoilt it all introducing mazes of complexity in everything. In trying to know the world we have forgotten to know first and foremost who we are. In trying to fix a date for everything we have forgotten eternity. In trying to fix the outer details and define precisely we have forgotten the infinity that holds each finite.

Yet was this a needed passage so that we can climb from the unconscious animal simplicity to the fully conscious divine simplicity. How beautiful, calm and effortless everything becomes when we get hold of this divine simplicity.

Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity, how beautiful is your Presence in our lives, the sign of Divine Presence in the heart of all things determining their emergence by the fiat of Her all-knowing Will.

Mother Divine,

may all the gates open for the ascension of the human soul towards the higher states decreed since the earth began. May nothing stop or obstruct our forward march and climb towards greater and greater heights.

Higher, ever higher, may we not stop half way through the climb.

Vaster, ever vaster, may we ascend towards larger and larger vistas of Light.

O Divine Victor, may all be released from the chains and bonds of ignorance. May all taste the freedom of Thy infinity.

Mother Divine, in Thy deep love for Your children, You have assumed this dark and fierce form, plunged into the sombre nightmare to break our souls free from the grip of the Night. Thou hast covered Your resplendent golden body and taken upon Yourself the burden of the Night. Grant, O Mother Divine that we may become worthy of this tremendous holocaust and all in us grows straight and sincere.

May all obscurity, all that resists and delays Thy Work be completely annihilated and expunged from us so that Thou may manifest amidst us in Thy full golden Glory and our eyes may be ready to see Thee and our hearts ready to worship Thee.

May all in us be consecrated to Thee and Thy Service.

Om Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa

Mother Divine,
Let countless lamps be lit in every corner dispelling all ignorance. Let countless voices sing Thy Glory and chant Thy Name. Let countless hands salute Thee proclaiming Thy Victory within and without against all falsehood. May all our being say in unison, each cell joining as we say, Jai Maa Jai Maa Jai Jai Maa.

In deep gratitude and readiness, we surrender all at Thy Feet for Thy Will to be fulfilled and Thy reign of Divine Love to be established over every heart and the whole earth.

Maa, a single Ray of Thy Light is enough to dispel all darkness and gloom forever.

Victory to the Divine Mother.
