Only Thy Love, Douce Mère
Divine Mother
Nameless Eternal Being, Creatrix Supreme,
Grace Incarnate in a fragile body,
Who art beyond the Form and the Formless,
Beyond the zenith of our climbing,
Beyond the widest waking and the deepest sleep,
Only one boon we ask Thee to hasten Thy manifestation:Read more
The passing note
O Master Magician, no artist can paint thy elusive face
No sculptor can carve thy silhouette, no one can bind thee in a hame.
Thou O ever unknown stanger, my soul, my love
This magic of unfolding creation is only Thyself.
My life a passing note, O supreme musician, of thy symphony
One, individual, inalterable, absolute, immobile, silence
Infinite rays, mobile fragments, perpetual motion, delight.
This stupendous Presence pervades immeasurably all existence
O Mother Divine in Thy eternity
I discover my continuity

There is no other will except the Divine Will
There is no other will except the Divine Will
More than ever I am conscious of the Divine, the Divine as the world, the Divine in things and beings as the presiding Spirit and the Divine beyond the world and all manifestation, all of them forming what in the Indian spirituality we call the Brahman. In everything in the world, in the minutest cells and atoms and particles there is the presence of the Absolute Divine. That is why everything in the universe at anytime is as it is meant to be, as it must be. Everything is in constant movement and everything moves in the right direction at each moment through a vast and infinitely complex process. Nothing can go wrong for there is no other will except the Divine Will, there is no other Power except the Divine Force, there is nothing else except the Divine who is the constituting substance of the universe. What we see as chaos, disorder, ignorance and suffering, violence, death and disintegration is a very partial and necessarily a wrong view of things. The Creator who is the self-creation at each moment is the Supreme and Absolute Master of the situation. Everything is as it must be and everything will be as seen by the Divine. Our privilege is to become conscious of the Divine beyond the becoming and in the becoming. When we surrender to the Divine and allow His Will to shape our entire being, when “Thy Will be done” becomes the natural law of our being, then we are admitted into His ineffable Harmony which always exists.

Strange Blossom of Light
Strange Blossom of Light
My soul open thy eyes , watch the long expected birth
Concealed from the vulgar inquisitive sight,
Of the marvellous bloom of tomorrow,
Almost invisible in the shadow of the austere trees
Old as the mountains and self assured of their immunity.
Watch it open silently petal by petal unsuspected
In a neglected corner of thy treshold,
Stranger little understood disdained by the wise,
Unwelcome mocked and disowed by the crowd,
The gentle humble guest can hardly lift her head
With the mortal weight of the past in her breast.
The victorious yesterday lives on gloriously for a while
Trembling inside now certain of its death
My soul do not be duped by the faintness of the early glow
It brings in its wake the ocean swell of liquid gold
The end of a perpetual night, the sun that does not set anymore
Unveiled blissful presence of the beloved Mother divine.
Open wide thy doors to that strange distant light
And nourish with the white purity of inner fire
The wonder bud of splendour in the mire of earth.
