I Wouldn’t Have Wasted My Time — Mother

I am even astonished that you don’t feel an intense need for it: “How can one know?” For you know—you have been told, told repeatedly, it has been dinned into your ears—you know that you have a divine consciousness within you, and you can sleep night after night and play day after day and learn day after day, and not have the enthusiasm and intense will to enter into contact with yourself, yes, with yourself, here within!… (Mother points to the centre of her chest.) This, this indeed, is beyond me!

The first time I knew—and nobody told me this, I knew it by experience—the first time I knew that there was a discovery to make within me, well, that was the most important thing. This had to be put before everything. And when I found, as I said, a book, a man, just to give me a little indication, to tell me, “Here you are. If you do this the path will open before you”, why, I rushed headlong like a… like a cyclone, and nothing could have stopped me.

If you could have taken a small decision to feel your psychic, I wouldn’t have wasted my time.

    नमस्ते जी 🙏

    This is the most important discovery of human life: within us lives Divine Grace, and shines immortal Light.

    Out of prison, out of tears we are called to walk , to fly in the direction of the blue sky and golden Sun.

    Thank You Mother for Your Divine Grace 🙏

    Justyn
