The Same Divine
As long as I see others and not the same Divine in all,
I am hopelessly in love with ignorance.
As long as I work for others in the name of God,
I am tied forever to pride and self-deception.
As long as I live for others and not for the Divine,
I am still much human, unable to bear the rays of the Sun.
As long as I feel haunted by death and oblivion,
I live shut away from the eternal Life Divine.
As long as I have a separate body and soul, like a lone star,
I am stone-blind to the Reality of the wonderful One.
There is only One body, One life, One soul,
One consciousness, One infinite Eternal Being,
One living Reality, One nameless Bliss.

Sarvamangala
My highest aspiration finds its full satisfaction
As soon as the Mother Sarvamangala, appears in my consciousness.
It is the Mother of whom every gesture is a blessing,
A supreme good, a divine present full of divine, eternal wealth.
At the contact of the Mother, Sarvamangala,
One becomes, an ocean of kindness;
Everything becomes the Love, Beauty, Harmony.
All existence is in the tight embrace of the Divine Mother,
A quiet bottomless kindness, without border,
A quiet happiness which cures in an instant any darkness, suffering,
Separation among the Creator and His Creation,
The Mother and Her incalculable children.
Manifest Yourself in my soul,
Dominate and guide my whole being.
Om Douce Mère, sarvamangala,
Kindness transcendental absolute.
Om namo Bhagavate.
Om Sri Aurobindo, benevolent Master,
Faithful Friend of all the beings.

On the unsinkable boat steered by the Divine Mother
A time will come when the aspiring soul on the Road to the home of Light
will become more and more conscious of the Great Mother leading the way,
not so much from outside but from the psychic soul deep within.
A vast migration has started, the world will never be the same
Gradually the darkness will recede into oblivion.
Suffering, violence, cruelty would seem to be myths and legends of an external civilisation..
Some souls feel crushed and hopelessly desappointed in the present human society and hostile environment
But there is no reason to give up hope. The promise of a divine life on earth made by the Mother and Sri Aurobindo
is not a mirage in the desert but more true than our outer existences.
Let us become peaceful, find in the soul our infaillible Leader and Guide,
the Sweet Mother waiting to manifest in our mind, life and body.
Let us pray with love and humility with a call for the saviour Light.
Then a miracle will happen and all the crushing stones around our souls will fall away like a castle of cards
and suddenly from darkness we will emerge into an everlasting Light on the soothing bosom of the Mother Divine.
Let us pray, comrade souls, the road is long but the miracle is the order of the day.
In a magic instant, the prison will transform itself into a high sky-kissing Temple to the Mother.
Let us pray with love and trust, the Mother Herself will remove the blindness of our eyes and we will see the bliss of Her smile.
The journey is rough through tempest and hurricanes on a sea gone mad
but we are on an unsinkable boat steered by the Mother Divine Herself.
Let us have no fear. Her blessings are our armour, our force and our courage.
Om Sri Aurobindo, give us strenght, faith and courage to follow the Mother to the end.
Pranam, pranam, pranam.
