Power of the moment

A work must be attended
to, not left to itself. Any work left to itself is sure to be spoiled. Man is
greater than the drifting Time. Man has risen above life and conquered it. He
has in him an expertise which no one on earth other than MAN himself enjoys. He
must bring himself to bear upon the situation, let his personality impact on
the work at hand. Then it turns out to be a good work.
This is no great wisdom, but simple common knowledge as it is a daily
occurrence.
In this sense, Man is an achiever, as he has skill. There are other times, of
course, rarely when we do witness a work rising to great proportions which we
are incapable of when we leave it to itself, not meddle into it by our human
interference. This happens when the hour is great and carries the work in its
hands of benevolence.
At such moments, we say, ‘‘None of these things were on the agenda.
It all happened by itself. Had I planned, I would not have thought of it on
this scale as it was nowhere on my mind.'' There are people of
luck. There are lucky periods which are determined to raise our lives high. We
generally resist such moves successfully. Should we choose not to interfere, or
should we find ourselves helpless to stop the movement of affairs, life ushers
us into luck.
Such a thing happens to ALL who are in touch with this Force I speak of
invariably. Even outside this Force, such a MOMENT comes to all those people
who are pious in the real sense of the word, who are optimistic, who are
good-natured, in the right sense of the word. Anyone can recall a few incidents
in their own lives or experience.
It is true life is destructive and Man is constructive. It is equally a divine
truth that life in its depth is capable of a certain goodness that is luck
which man is unaware of. Those who invoke this Force can always avail of such
luck.
Someone who was waiting outside a Polytechnic under a tree to be called for the
admission interview was so taken to a college and admitted there. He later
became an engineer. Such people who are the beneficiaries of this Force have
another opportunity. They can become a source of this Force to all others who
come into contact with them.
If they desire it, as they have remained passive when luck carried them along,
they must remain PASSIVE in their inner existence all the time, so that the
FORCE may constantly enter their life and being and distribute itself to all
those who come into contact with them. In yogic parlance, it is called
surrender.
They don the mantle of Mother's Devotees. They are centres of the higher
consciousness. They carry a vibration of the Supramental Force.
