What I want to share from my experiences is that love conquers everything.It is my hope that it will inspire the readers to open their hearts to the Divine. If we can try to understand that we all are equally part of the Divine and are here to achieve this greater Truth and to realise our Self - if we make this our goal and do everything with Love…then everything will be lovely and you will always be happy.

Love

The only thing is to attain this unity......

Above all, Love is the most important thing and "Shree Peetha Nilaya" – the name which the Divine Mother has given for the Ashram – is an abode of the Divine Mother Herself, where Her Love is given to everybody; this Love which we all – every human being – long for; this Love which is the call of your true Self, who you are and who you will always be. The only thing is to attain this unity, to attain this oneness with the Divine. There is only one thing that stops us of realising this unity – the discrimination, the judgment. Of course, all of these qualities emerge from one’s mind. The control of the mind over us is what stops this Love. When we look at a Saint who is in union with God – what is the name of the union with God? We have the Sanskrit name, Samadhi, don’t we? What is Samadhi? Everybody longs for Samadhi but the state of Samadhi is without any discrimination, without any judgment. It is pure Love. As long as you see the judgment in your mind, as long as there is discrimination in your mind, you will still have to work to attain the non-discrimination state and then, only this real Love, this pure Love will awaken. When this pure Love awakens, it embraces you. It is not a feeling that you will say “Yes, I feel happy or I feel sad.” It is beyond that. If I could express it with words, it would not be what I’m talking about. This is the state where you find union with the Divine, where you realise your Self. As long as you are searching, you are just searching for that Love. When you find it, you will only find that Love. So don’t lose hope, no matter what, know that the Divine is always with you and wherever you are, whatever you do, it’s Him who is doing through you. Try your best from your side, you have always to try your best. The human being is not perfect and I’m sure later on it will not be perfect either, because when one becomes perfect, one has this quality that I just said before. When one becomes perfect, one becomes Divine, so one is not human anymore. But as long as one has this quality, one stays human. Try your best to become Divine. That is what all the great Masters have taught. Christ came and taught that, Krishna has taught that and all of them have taught to realise your own divinity, because only then real happiness will be there. Then you can say “Yes, I am happy,” because that happiness will not go away, it will stay forever. Otherwise you will stay in illusion. You will think and try to make yourself think that you are happy. As long as you have not attained that, keep trying. You will receive all the help needed as long as you give your hand because if you don’t make your effort, you can’t expect God to do His effort, do it for you. He is fully realised, but He is here to help you to realise your Self, but you have to give your hand. You have to do your part.
