Whatever may be the past, whatever may be the faults committed, whatever the ignorance in which one might have lived, one carries deep within oneself the supreme purity which can translate itself into a wonderful realisation.
The whole point is to think of that, to concentrate on that and not to be concerned with all the difficulties and obstacles and hindrances.
`Concentrate exclusively on what you want to be, forget as entirely as possible what you do not want to be.
CWM Vol 3, 7 March 1958
One intuitively feels a deep compassionate touch and hope in these words. To each wounded soul they sound as the balm of purity and since they come just at the moment of need they feel so personal to each person in his or her own way. As a poet says, “Only pure thing is that which is personal.”
The universal Mother is always personal. In Her, all our secrets are safe.
