The Living Quietness

The whole world is your home. I am the Mother of the wicked, I am the Mother of the virtuous. Whenever you are in distress, say that 'I have a Mother'. Sri Sarada Devi.

The Buddha or the Presence That Is

Thich Naht Hanh - the Vietnamese Buddhist monk who to me radiates holiness and presence and that also through the laughter that twinkles on his face - says that Buddha is the one who is aware of what is going inside him and around him or her, and has a lot of understanding and compassion.

As I too long to be aware as Thich Nhat describes, today while I went for a morning walk I wanted to enjoy the morning outside. But what is the point in getting lost in that Joy! I could only remember either my inside where I was calling on Mother Sarada because I don't know much of the time as to who I am except as a being desperately calling to the Divine forms to be ALONE within me, which Bhagavan describnes is ALL-ONE.

I finally gave up enjoying the coolness of the morning because Mother's Presence was easy to Trust and rely on.
