Talks Excerpt 323. Demand from [the Divine] Mother, as a child from its mother.
From Mother Radha’s notes, written at Swamiji’s feet.
Renounce, detach.
Pray: ‘O Mother, it has been so long, so long. Reveal Thyself to me.’ Do what She wants, as She wants. Then you are pure.
The gopis suffered a thousand miseries for Krishna. Be like Radha: sacrifice thought, word and deed, and offer all to Him.
Sri Radha got tired one day and asked Krishna to carry her. He disappeared saying, ‘I belong to all, to none in particular. All are my mother Devaki.’
When God-realisation comes, you give birth to Krishna in your heart and mind. The guru-disciple relationship then is non-existent. His reaction is not important.
The guru’s disciples all suffer from jealousy – and the guru suffers because he sees you suffering and cannot help. He is Knowledge, Bliss, Absolute [SatChidAnanda].
‘I am Spirit. I am not the body, not the mind.’ Say this for 6 months and see what happens. Others will think you are mad, but you will see that they are mad. If one remains (or lives) in the body after that, it is because there is something to finish.
If others prostrate to you, say: ‘O [Divine Mother] Ma, all is yours.’
I have shown you the place and put the spade in your hand. When are you going to start digging? When are you going to start seeking for God within?
Krishna says, ‘Think of Me all the time.’ Thus, put the Ishtam in your heart and hold the Ishtam’s feet. Surrender to the Ishtam.
Purify yourself and offer yourself to God.
Demand from [the Divine] Mother, as a child from its mother. Offer all to Her – mind, money, senses.
