Mother Divine, Maa, Truth is hidden behind several layers, wrapped in many covers. We see its many masks, something on the surfaces, reflected, distorted, distorted by our wishes and fears and hopes, habits of thought, conditioned views, opinions and call it truth. But it is not even truth of appearances since our senses themselves modify the thing seen. What follows is an equally distorted response within us, a response further distorted by desires and egoism. We take this distorted appearance for truth. What is worse is that men then fight over it, each claiming their truth to be the final one if not the only one. But Truth lies unseen hidden in the depths of the heart, wrapped in bright or dark covers, while we keep fighting over its numerous constructions, all in the name of truth. It requires great patience and courage, a great rectitude and discernment, above all a wide impersonality to see things as they are and not as they appear and seem to be.
Mother Divine, Truth is indeed a difficult conquest and needs one to be fearless and sincere to the core to discover it. It is the pearl of great price lying in the ocean depths covered by a shining shell. Even to begin the search in earnest one has to practise truthfulness, be honest to oneself, to never justify things giving them beautiful names and most of all never to hide anything from Thee. Thus, slowly the light of Truth begins to dawn upon the mind grown calm and tranquil, then the rays arrive and prepare us until we are ready to see the face of Truth.
Maa, grant that all that is needed for this greatest of all discoveries develops in us. Grant us the light of an integral sincerity, courage, honesty, truthfulness and the will to go through right to the very end, notwithstanding the difficulties of the way.
