the strange blossom of light
My soul open thy eyes,
Watch the long-expected birth,
Of the marvellous bloom of tomorrow,
Concealed from the vulgar inquisitive sight,
Almost invisible in the shadow of 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 freehold.
Stanger, little understood, disdained by the wise,
Unwelcome,mocked and disowned by the crowd
The gentle humble Guest can hardly lift her head
With the mortal weight of the past on 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-swelll of liquid gold,
The end of a perpetual night, the sun that does not set anymore
And the unveiled blissful presence of the beloved Mother Divine
Open wide thy doors to that stange distant Light
And nourish with the white purity of inner fire
The wonder-bud of splendour in the mire of earth

15 August - Message from the Mother
Message from the Mother written on the Samadhi
To Thee who hast been the material envelope of our Master,
To Thee our infinite gratitude.
Before Thee who hast done so much for us,
Who hast worked , struggled, suffered, hoped, endured so much
Before Thee who hast willed all, attempted all, prepared, achieved all for us,
Before Thee we bow down
And implore that we may never forget even for a moment
All we owe to Thee.

There is only one infinite eternal Being
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 body, one life, one soul, one consciousness
one infinite eternal being, one living Reality, one nameless Bliss
