The Children of The
Mother
Karmayogi
The future belongs to Spirituality, not religion, says The
Mother. The time of religion is over according to Her. Religion is many
following the inspiration of one enlightened person. Spirituality is each one seeking his own illumination. As
Protestantism removed the priest between Man and God, Spirituality will enable
each man to seek his own God, seated inside.
The Mother was in Japanduring the First World War. She recorded her Prayers and Meditations everyday,
which was later published. As a preface to that publication, She wrote that
there are those who give their souls to God, and others who give their work. Some
give their wealth. A few others give their lives to the Divine. There are the
rare few who give their souls, wealth, work and lives to the Divine. They alone are the true children of The Mother and all
others are valueless ciphers for the Divine Work.
In Her scale of values, it may be impossible for us to become even valueless
ciphers. Why? Is She a taskmaster and a disciplinarian? When China threatens the borders of India, the Indian leader needs nerves
of iron and can no longer indulge in the luxury of non-alignment. Not all
people can lead a nation in war. Divine Work embraces the universe where one
has to organise new ways of life suited to the Higher Consciousness. For that,
one cannot be attached to his work or life. Therefore, SHE laid down Her
requirement but never persuaded anyone to take to it.
In Her Agenda She describes the yoga of the body She tried and said how
horrible it was. She said She would NOT recommend this yoga to anyone. I ask
people to invoke the Spirit for a better life, not for yoga. A life of utter Truthfulness brings one into the
atmosphere of Her Force that is active on earth since 1956. She said
that that Force had organised itself in the consciousness of a person. Yoga is
for the evolutionary adult. A life of higher consciousness is for the aspirant
of Truth in life, where he can express his own higher values.
