Extracts from Niranjan's Diary 1946
extracts from Niranjan's diary some months after the Mother accepted him in the Ashram 1946
The more one thinks about the question of individuality, one is likely to get more confused. One thing most essential is to become conscious of the Divine and make this life beautiful and based on the Divine Ideal. As long as I live, my only effort should be to make this moment more beautiful than the moment I have left behind.
Each defect, each failure, each act of jealousy, ignorance and thoughtlessness serve as an indicator of the work that has still to be done for the perfection of nature - they are milestones on the long route to the knowledge of beauty.
O Mother, I want to know You and love You and be consumed by the aspiration flame which burns towards heaven in a mounting movement. Only Your infinite love for us can want nothing from us, instead raise us to Godhead. Yours is the Love which does not seek any return. My prayer to You is my humble way of expressing the heartfelt gratitude towards You.
How sweet is Thy name Mira. May I love You in your divinest and purest form. Mother, please open my heart. Only Your Grace can clear up the dirty smoke of the lower vital nature. When shall I love You so much that You become my very breath and the beat of my heart and never miss You even for the infinitesimal portion of time. Eternal Motherhood, Thou only exist and I want to exist truly in You.

In the service of the Lord
I am a nomad with no home, I belong to no country, race or clan
God is my father, Earth my mother
They have taken away the heavy layers of dirt covering the inner light
And opened my hungry eyes to an illimited horizon
Wherever I go, I see His masked faces, His unmistakable outline
His innumerable immobile and living images.
In the silence is heard the finest melody ,the purest note
i don't need a party banner, in Lord's service I am fulfilled.
Master of my destiny He is my friend, guide, shelter and spirit
Everything I receive comes from Him.
My life, work anf future depend on Him alone.
He sends showers of blessings inundating my life, mind, body and soul
I am a happy apprentice on the Mother's dream boat sailing
On an ocean of golden light for a distant land of blissful divine life
Mother Nature is a fragrant rose, each petal bears the name of the Lord
The esence of joy and beauty She offers to every soul.

The Mother - About animal food
If one wishes to pass from this ordinary life to a higher one the problem begins to become interesting
and if after having come to a higher life one tries to prepare oneself for the transformation
then it becomes very important for there certainly are foods which help the body to become subtle
and others which keep it in a state of animality.
Those who are ready to give up animal food should certainly do so.
The others can do it when they are ready
Nature is only a mask the Divine Mother wears
Nature is only a mask the Divine Mother wears
She leads Her beloved children towards a magic world of peace and harmony.
With Her blissful contact, the earth wakes up from its long heavy sleep
The unique Mother presses in Her arms the whole world with infinite tenderness.
All human beings, all without exception are Her children
She preares body and souls to manifest the divine love
A complete self-offering to the Mother of our past, present and future
Is the only means to climb the steep walk
Which leads the soul to the luminous eternal truth
O Mother Divine, shine day and night in the sky of our soul
May Your will comle true in its entirety on the prostrate earth
Peace, peace, joy, harmony and beauty in all hearts
The long painful night ends, a magnificent world is born
You are the Supreme, our soul
The Road, the Yoga and the Realisation

The predestined meeting
The predestined meeting
Was it an accident or a predestined meeting?
Someone magnificent, inconceivably pure and good,
An inner splendor, a huge outburst of radiant Power.
Granite walls shattered by the onslaught of Light,
Mountains of filth and gloom heaped through ages
Washed away swiftly by the torrential rains of Grace.
Someone wonderful, unforgetable replaced all other idols
A haunting Face , those uncommon diamond eyes,
Illumined the heavenward ascending track sharp as a razor.
An intolerable unfathomable sweet mystic Presence
Filled up all existence, past, present and distant future
With a blissful reposing fragrance of an undying flame.
Someone who came for a brief spell to walk on our soil
Has never left.. For Her there is no coming or going
There is none here or anywhere ever but the Supreme Shakti
Mother Divine, accept our surrender unequivocal, total
Uncompromising, full of love, devotion and trust unwavering.
May our whole being become an open unobstructive channel
For the action of Thy luminous all realising divine Will
Om Sri Aurobindo saranam mama
Om janani Meera, janani madhura saranam mama.
