Maa, Mother Divine, Thou art the sole doer, the accomplisher of all Thy works, the giver of all fulfilment. Nay, Thou art the fulfilment for to find Thee in our inner depths, to discover Thee in our inmost being, to be one with Thee in our soul is to turn existence into a rapture and life into a perpetual marvel. On the other hand, to forget Thee, to lose contact with Thee, to live for the petty satisfactions of the ego rather than in Thy Service is the greatest single sorrow from which all suffering stems. We offer to Thee this hymn of adoration by the Lord Sri Aurobindo which is and should become the deepest cry of our being.
“O Truth defended in thy secret sun,
Voice of her mighty musings in shut heavens
On things withdrawn within her luminous depths,
O Wisdom-Splendour, Mother of the universe,
Creatrix, the Eternal’s artist Bride,
Linger not long with thy transmuting hand
Pressed vainly on one golden bar of Time,
As if Time dare not open its heart to God.
O radiant fountain of the world’s delight
World-free and unattainable above,
O Bliss who ever dwellst deep-hid within
While men seek thee outside and never find,
Mystery and Muse with hieratic tongue,
Incarnate the white passion of thy force,
Mission to earth some living form of thee.”
Come, O Mother, come! We are not ready, the earth is not ready. But can it ever be ready, can man ever understand Thy Glory or become a fit receptacle of Thy Force or manifest even a Ray of Thy Glory without the benediction of Thy Grace?
Come, Mother Come! Fill our life with Thy Breath, redeem our earthly matter by Thy touch, break the seals upon our soul with Thy kiss, save us by Thy smile of Love.
Come, Mother Come!
