Songs of the Soul: September 20, 2024

Maa, Sweet Mother, Mother Divine

Always we see freedom walking along with the Law. On the one side the fixity of cosmic sequences ties us hand and feet as a cog tightly fixed in the wheel. On the other hand You are always with us and, since the world is nothing else but Thy objectivisation in Time and Space, You can change, modify, deflect or even completely annul the law of Cause and Effect. Just as a writer can change the events in a story he is writing without affecting the theme or the plot so too You can change the circumstances without creating any disturbance to the original Will. It is so because Thine is the original Will and the Knowledge at work everywhere and in everything. Since You are everywhere and in everything when You shift people and events then the whole chain and all the links are automatically adjusted and reset without disturbing the overall harmony, bringing the maximum good for all.

But as soon as we start meddling, then, focused almost exclusively on our little ‘separate’ surface personality and its likes and dislikes, we almost always disturb the chain, create more disharmony leading to even more suffering than we imagined we would avoid. Therefore the best course is always to surrender ourselves to Thee, to do our best as one plays an assigned role without letting the stress of ego and desire overtake us and then leave everything in Your hands.

O Mother, let our surrender be true and complete, full of trust, full of a complete acceptance and adherence to Thy Will in our life, whatever it may be, full of a luminous trust and peace knowing that You know what is best for us, better than what we, with all our thoughts and imagination, can ever conceive. The highest wisdom, even practical wisdom is to entrust ourselves and our destiny to Thee and face the unfolding events and circumstances with a serene and glad equanimity that is the result of a complete surrender to Thy Will. At each instant may we lay ourselves entirely bare and open at Thy Feet so that Thy Will may be done and not mine. In surrender and acceptance of Thy Will in our life lies complete safety and total peace. Indeed surrender to Thee is the great secret, the greatest of all secrets.
