Guiding Light of The Month

O Lord, how ardently do I call and implore Thy love! Grant that my aspiration may be intense enough to awaken the same aspiration everywhere: oh, may good- ness, justice and peace reign as supreme masters, may ignorant egoism be overcome, darkness be suddenly illu- minated by Thy pure Light; may the blind see, the deaf hear, may Thy law be proclaimed in every place and, in a constantly progressive union, in an ever more perfect harmony, may all, like one single being, stretch out their arms towards Thee to identify themselves with Thee and manifest Thee upon earth. - The Mother

Question of the month

The Mother: With the help of OM one can realise the Divine. OM has a transforming power. OM represents the Divine.

Q: Yes, it represents the Divine. It represents the Divine. OM, but OM is the sound?

A: The Mother: They say that all the aspirations of the world when going towards the Divine make O---M, like that. (The Mother chants the word)

Yes, Mother.

The Mother: And then, that is why they say "OM".

Mother please, say it once again. Please say it again.

The Mother: Eh ?

OM, it is fine, Mother, it was very beautiful.

(Mother laughs)

Mother, once more, please

The Mother: O----M.

And now?

The Mother: It is like this everywhere. O----M. O----M.

Yes, Mother.

The Mother: Look here, I was in France some I think, 60 years ago. There was a Frenchman who came back from the Himalayas, who had stayed there some time and he gave a lecture, and I listened to the lecture and in the lecture he said that when he was deep in the Himalayas, there was a sannyasin whom he didn't know, came to see him and told him only this O----M and that he was completely changed. And then, when he said O----M, I felt the same change in me, ...as if the Divine was coming in. O----M. There you are. Good, good. Keep the secret.

Yes, Mother.

The Mother: You will recall this: O----M. O----M. That's all. O----M. It must be manifested. If anything goes wrong, repeat OM, all will go well.

The Mother: OM: the signature of the Lord.
