DAILY MESSAGE Series V 501)
A family tried
to kill one of its members. Later he who had tried that died. Some social
pressure got the aggrieved member her due. Twenty-five years later, her son
took to book service for two years. Now his 'due' was given amicably, rather
abundantly. Book service is the vital expression while cleaning
is its physical expression. µ 502)
There is no
virtue in weakness unless you see HER in the
indwelling weakness. p 503)
All those who
have been harsh to us were the bringers of Grace; but let us not take Grace
to others through harshness, since Grace of a greater dimension will
certainly come to us with a stronger hand of harshness.
p 504)
When a work is
done to a 't' we not only forget Mother who did it, but we forget ourselves.
The only thing we remember is what can be planned next. µ 505)
'A great work
will be done by a small effort' if SHE precedes our
thought of that work in our own minds.& 506)
Body exults in
keeping things clean.& 507)
I began to
examine my mind. I found that goodwill rarely enters my mind. Now I know why
I speak of goodwill always. µ 508)
No one, not
even Mother, has the power to neutralise the negative work of those to whom
She herself has given the power and freedom. p 509)
He who secretly
gloats over his success in his closely guarded secret, often does not know it
is already a public secret. µ 510)
Cleanliness
imparts a living touch to the objects and the floor on which we walk. µ 511)
Cleaning brings
physical plenty. Harmony brings vital plenty. Ideal brings mentally prolific
thoughts. p 512)
Super Grace
that brings Luck to us in rounded perfection. p 513)
Every event has
a creative potential, said Harlan Cleveland on hearing of our theory. It
means every event is infinite. One has to extend to positive infinity or
negative infinity. Our task is: 1) to know it is Infinite; next, 2) to
accept it on the positive side. Practically if we decide to be positive and
call Mother, life becomes rosy. p 514)
The channel
conducts the water to the fields that are growing crops. Men are often like
channels who receive Mother's Grace to be passed on to others unaware of it. µ 515)
Delay in doing
a work, wasting time etc. are unclean habits in the vital. Review your life
in this light. µ 516)
Expecting
others to obey out of turn is the attitude of the lower vital when it is
weak. When it is strong, it happily obeys those who are thus weak. µ 517)
Belief does not
dawn on us just because we have experienced a certain thing several times. He
who has belief, believes. µ 518)
We act often
without thinking. When we think we do not know HE is behind. The thinker rarely knows he is like one who acts
without thinking. p 519)
To withdraw the
interest from something is the best way to fulfil that interest. µ 520)
We look at
another man's success and wish to know his secret. The secret is to know what
you should do, not what he has done. µ 521)
Problem brings
intensity through fright and insecurity. Intensity coming through aspiration
leads to yoga. p 522)
Man never has
an intensity. When it is there, it is negative. µ 523)
Man NEVER allows others or life to touch him at the points of
his sensitivity. Yoga is to consciously touch our sensitivities till they are
shed. p 524)
When you clean,
listen, you will almost hear the objects appreciating you and the other parts
calling your attention.& 525)
When you are
hurt or disappointed, think whether you have caused them to anyone.
p 526)
The liar's
success is the success of lying, not success by itself.
p 527)
Social
behaviour of the time is unideal. Any ideal is forever, not for the society
of a time. µ 528)
Egolessness
achieves as does selflessness. p 529)
Ideals are
lived, not spoken or understood, much less preached. µ 530)
There is no
chance or coincidence in life. They are all acts of God. Only that we are not
conscious of it yet. p 531)
Can we at least
theoretically accept that everything that has happened, is a piece of marvel?
If you can, the Light has touched your mind. p 532)
Man wants to
solve problems; and creates more. In God consciousness, there is no problem to
solve. Solving problems and creating problems are man's ways of finding God.
p 533)
When a low man
rises high, the price he pays for his respect is too great. Any man comes to
him only to take. It is his privilege to give and continue to give in copious
measures in return of the prestige of their taking from him! His status is bought at a high price. It
would appear he has gained nothing. µ 534)
HE calls our enjoyment serviceable falsehood. & 535)
Hurry and haste
are symptoms of weakness. Being slow is undesirable. What else is desirable? Quiet efficiency is the best. A quiet person
finishes the work earlier than one in a hurry and the result is better. µ 536)
Work makes the
movement Divine, the hand that works as divine hand. Sarah, Sethna's wife,
saw her feet as Mother's feet. See Mother's hand in your hand as it moves in work
with Her consciousness. p 537)
Harmony with
material objects is joy at their touch as when you hold a baby. & 538)
It is a rare
privilege to introduce someone to Mother. Still rarer it is to help him
receive the material benefit. p 539)
The subtle
plane of sleep recognises the measure of physical cleanliness. & 540)
If you need
attention from others, give attention to the lowliest around you. 541)
The call of our
lips moves in work to the heart. When you see Mother in work, SHE raises the call from inside your heart. 542)
NO
work is ever done without taking
initiative. This is human. The Divine work can be done only after all
initiatives are withdrawn. & 543)
What all others
know of us we do not know. It never occurs to man to know it. Prestige stands
in the way. Mother says changing is not as difficult as to know what should
be changed. Everyone is willing to tell us that great secret. Are they our
enemies? or our guru? p 544)
Life responds
to the rules of life. Result shows the rules of life. We rely on the rules of
our strength. Better rely on the rules of life's strength. µ 545)
Past
consecration is working from below. Calling is working from above. This is
more powerful. Only when you cannot call, you must work from below. p 546)
£»øÚz u¸Áx EøǨ¦. 547)
All that we
need to acquire in the higher levels has to be given up in reverse order now.
p 548)
It is land that
created a civilisation of nobilty and aristocracy. The present civilisation
is created by the factories that manufacture the products we use. The cities,
the humans that comprise the matrix of the organised population, can create a
future civilisation of abundance, harmony and joy, the kingdom of God on
earth. µ 549)
Constant
remembrance in the depth makes hourly consecration possible.
p 550)
Comfort of the
body, sensitivity of the vital, shame of mind are landmarks on the
borderline. µ |
