Daily Prayers

Sweet and infinite Mother, Mother Divine, Maa, may our entire being rise up as a flame of longing for Thee. Maa, may all our thoughts and feelings become a hymn of adoration offered to Thee. Maa, may all that is done through us become a song of love in Thy Service. Maa, may our speech become a prayer and a manifestation of Thy Light, Thy Love, Thy Truth, Thy Ananda.

Maa, our only worth lies in Thy remembrance and Thy service. Those are the true moments, the moments we truly live. May these moments grow until all our life becomes Thy constant remembrance and service surrendered entirely to Thee.

In Thy Love is our life, our very breath. In Thy Service is our supreme happiness. In a growing oneness with Thee is our supreme fulfilment.

Sweet and infinite Mother, Mother Divine, Maa, may our seekings grow. May humanity begin to look beyond the needs of the body and seek its deeper self. May we turn away from the superficial glitters and glamours of the vital and aim for the true and the very highest. May our mind busy with small ignoble things turn towards Light climbing upon wings of thought towards higher and greater summits. May our soul wake up with the will to conquer ourself and the world for Thee.

Maa, awaken in us the will to conquer. Help us so that the conquest over ourself be complete and irreversible. May all in us flow irresistibly to Thee. May our thoughts climb towards Thee crossing all the inner skies and be transmuted into vision and intuition and a complete merger with Thy Light and Truth. May all our feelings and emotions flow towards Thee as rivers to the sea conquering every obstacle that stands in the way. May all our life and its strivings, all our efforts rise towards Thee as the fragrance of an incense, be offered at Thy Feet as a flower. May our very body and all the cells that constitute it, the very dust of which it is made become Thy footstool and Thy pedestal and chariot for Thy use.

Maa, our soul is eternally Thine, with one single aim, to know Thee, love Thee, serve Thee forever, through all our lives.

Sweet and infinite Mother, Mother Divine, Maa, for Thy Love of earth and mankind and all its creatures, Thou hast assumed a human form and face. Though the supreme Mystery unattainable even by the great Gods, Thou hast yet chosen to make earth Your home, dwell near us, live even as us, so that we can one day be able to live in Thee and by Thee.

Maa, without Thee we are nothing, we can do nothing. Without Thee all is an aimless drift in a meaningless Void. Without Thee nothing would seem truly worthwhile. But all changes with Thy Presence. Even the most apparently small and meaningless objects are filled with Beauty and Love, filled with Peace and Bliss, filled with endless possibilities of becoming.

Maa, all is Thy Glory and Thy Play. All is Thy Beauty and Thy Love. All is Thy Sweetness and Delight.

Sweet and infinite Mother, Mother Divine, Maa, let the flame of pure love burn bright in us fed by the sacrifice of ego and desires. These two, are indeed the greatest impurities that obscure the flame of Love. The truth and power of Love cannot shine where ego dominates and desires feed the flame. Very soon the flame turns tepid, sinks or is covered with smoke. But the one afflicted by it believes that the others have stopped loving. Whereas, in fact, the flame of love in the heart has been covered by the ego-self and desires.

Maa, give us true Love, the purest, highest Love that expects nothing, wants nothing, desires nothing, calculates nothing but simply gives itself in the joy and ecstasy of self-giving to Thee in and through each and every form. Maa, each form is Thy temple and abode but the Deity, Thy wonderful Presence gets covered by lusts and doubts and fears. Maa, may men get rid of these distorting elements and learn to love truly, simply, joyously, for the sake of Love itself.

O supreme Love, we give ourselves to Thee in complete submission to Thy Law, Thy Law which demands beauty within and the joy of self-giving to grow. May the flame of pure Love grow high and strong in us, O our supreme Beloved.

Sweet and infinite Mother, Mother Divine, Maa, Mother Sri Aurobindo, Thou art the one Hope, the only hope left for the redemption of our earth and the rescue of humanity from its deplorable state. If You withdrew then the earth would surely collapse and all our civilisation hurtle towards the Abyss. But because Thou art we still can hope and dare. Because Thou art we still can struggle for the Victory of Truth and Love and Peace and Harmony and Light upon earth. Because Thou art we still can strive for the transformation of earthly life into the figure of divinity it is meant to be.

Maa, it is Thy Presence and Thy Work that makes life interesting and worthwhile. Else what joy is there is living simply to satisfy hungers and appetites. To live for selfish ends, for small personal goals is indeed like living in a dark hole. But because Thou art there and Thou hast given us a wonderful work to do, we can find joy, true joy in life.

Maa, You are our very breath and our heartbeat, nay even more, our very core and essence. Without Thee we would cease to exist. Thou art indeed the Life of our life, the Intelligence in our mind, the Soul of our bodily substance, the Self of our self, the path and the goal, our everything.

Forever Love, O Sole Beloved.

Sweet and infinite Mother, Mother Divine, Maa, all our being is an ingathered flame of gratitude on this most special day when Sri Aurobindo chose to be born amidst us. He is indeed the incarnate Compassion and Hope for the redemption of our earth and humanity. Before Thy coming we had to choose between either a life of ignorance subject to death and suffering or else an eventual escape into the Beyond. You have brought for us a new hope, the new possibility of a Divine Life, the possibility of a divine perfection upon earth. Lord, Mother Divine give us the strength and sincerity to strive, aspire and work towards this New Ideal.

Maa, Sri Aurobindo, our entire being lies prostrate before Thee in gratitude and surrender. We lay at Thy Feet all that we are conscious of and also all that we are not yet conscious of so that all may be moulded by Thy touch into the intended Divine Perfection.

Maa, all is Thine, all is offered to Thee for Thy Work, for Thy use, for Thy Service. May we be what Thou want us to be. And this acceptance of our self-giving to Thee and Thy Work will itself be an act of Thy Grace.

Sweet and infinite Mother, Mother Divine, Maa, may we become true in every way, true and completely sincere to the Ideal You have placed before us, true and sincere to our highest aspiration, true and sincere to Thy Presence within us. In Truth lies our salvation, in Truth lies the victory, in Truth one finds the seeds of the New Creation, in Truth lies the triumph and the glory.

Maa, may our eyes open to Truth and its workings. So many of our actions are still unconscious, our speech ignorant, our understanding incomplete, our work faulty. May all that covers and limits us from a flawless execution of Thy Will be removed and our life become a luminous outpouring, a clear and limpid flow of Thy Truth in all we think and feel and do.

Maa, in Truth lies our safety and security. With Truth lies the crown of Thy Victory.

Sweet and infinite Mother, Mother Divine, Maa, may all these embittered hearts and twisted minds be soothed, strengthened and straightened. May these misguided lives be led back upon the right path, the path that leads us towards greater and greater heights rather than downhill towards perdition and fall.

Maa, may we wake up to the urgent need of the inner change. Instead of playing in the hands of the forces of falsehood may humanity wake up to its true self, listen to the true guidance and reach out in ever widening circles to the one ultimate hope, the radical inner change, the transmutation of earthly life into the Life Divine. Maa, may all in us be henceforth given to this one most important task, the work of changing ourselves into a semblance of Thy Truth and Light and Beauty and Love.

Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa

Sweet and infinite Mother, Mother Divine, Maa, we seek the Truth and Truth alone, not momentary truths that comfort but leave our thirst incomplete, nor what generally goes by that name, the truth of appearances. We seek the stable ground of Truth, the last bedrock where all search stops, the Truth that is the Origin of creation, Truth imperishable, immutable, not subject to change.

Maa, we seek the Truth that is one with Harmony and Delight, Truth that fills the heart with Peace and the Mind with the fullness of Light and Wisdom. We seek the Truth whose Power impels all things, moves all life, sustains creation by its warmth and effulgence. May the Sun of Truth and Delight dawn fully in our life chasing away all shadows and darkness forever.

Maa, it is Thy most wonderful Presence that we long to see in the light of Truth. Make us worthy of living according to the Law of Truth, the courage to live by the Truth alone shedding away all that is false and artificial, all that imitates and distorts, all that covers and resists.

Maa, may the Light and Power of Thy Truth chase away every darkness. May only Thy Light, Thy Beauty, Thy Purity, Thy Love remain, O Home of Truth and Harmony and Bliss, O Heart of supreme Love.
