Mother explained the paradox

Mother would explain the paradox thus:

 Do you think it is the laying down and explaining certain best recipes of a religion, that can make the world happy? No. Do you think it is the ceaseless effort of understanding of truths, that entitles men to be happy? No.  Do you think the world is unhappy and miserable, without its own evils and sins? No.

All is delusion. And yet, know this, the secret of secrets. Enjoyment and Happiness proceeds from Relinquishment, to the extent you throw away things of the world. " Love alone is the Teacher of Relinquishment. Service concretises Love.

They become happy who love and serve Me and whom I love. The claim to be happy finally rests on Love and Service to Me and Mine, with devotion and self-surrender.

 Neither people can change matters nor you. What is people's highest self-control before Nature's urge from within? And what can your highest effort do unless I move the keys of people's hearts? "

 And yet the paradoxical position that you are weeping about saves the world and is the keynote of the secret working.

 "It was true of everyone that was, is, and will be, dearest to Me. There is no human working that permanently helps. It is only My Will. The usefulness of all working of people, or God's dearest devotees proceeds from quite a distant irrelevant invisible thing."

 To repeat, it is this: " Those who love and serve Me, My dearest and My children, will be saved". "World as a whole will be run on the basis of its collective merit, but individuals will be saved". The rest is all Maya's befooling of mankind, through delusions of authorship, ownership, actorship, etc., and misunderstandings through networks of causes and effects, distinctions and differences, mine and thine, etc.


    " Millions have preached religion. Where is happiness? Millions have mechanically obeyed Divine Laws laid down in scriptures. Where is happiness? The bestower of happiness is I myself. There is nothing like any person's claim thereto in virtue of any well-earned dues or any deservedness."


    " The Lover, The Server, and The Surrenderer to Me or Mine alone wins the highest victory of happiness." The rest is only a temporary mirage-like satisfaction and a passing talk, a word-forth, a speedy revolving of the motor-wheel raised above ground; the meter would read miles but the motor stands where it has stood.

Maiism Path is all accommodating, all embracing and all including

MAI-ISM-ALL-ACCOMMODATING, ALL-EMBRACING, AND ALL-INCLUDING.

(1) Mai or Universal Mother is the most perfect and indisputable, universal commonsense - agreed and experience-confirmed origin and source, from which all universes, souls, powers, all beings, all existent, solar systems, Monads, Logos, all and everything that bears a name or is imaginable and conceivable, emanate. Let the atheist accept this denomination of Mother, only in its undeniable broadest sense, VIZ,that of the Cause, the Origin,the Source,the Womb, the Root. Say, Mother is the Earth, (given the Mother' denomination), from which everything that has its existence gets manifested and grows up, and to whose support, is everything finally indebted. From Mai we all come, in Mai we all live and to Mai we all, return. Mai is omnipotent. omnipresent, omniscient, supreme and finalmost. Mai is the last highest power - possessor and wielder. Mai is the Sovereign and Supreme ruler that governs life, light, law and love, infinitely internally and externally. (Mai-ists may if they like, constantly repeat pages 29 and 30 of “Mother's Message " for creating the unshakable conviction. )

(2) A follower, servant, devotee or scion of Mai is ten times the servant and follower, of any of the Mai's illustrious sons, the founders of various religions. saints, sages, savants, etc. and the greatest guides and gurus of any age, of any world part, and of any nation.

(3) Unification alone accelerates ascent and evolution, while disintegration decidedly ends in descent and destruction.

(4) Motherhood conception of God and its universal religion Mai - ism, especially with its unique acceptance of universality and with its open declaration about maintaining the individual religion's  full integrity and with the most - needed genuine insistence in respect of newly injected element of the spiritual co-equal status of man and woman transforms the entire aspect of the most efficient working of the true religiosity.

Maiism accelerates the speed of the hitherto - kept-running, religiosity - working - machinery, of all individual religions, which have practically been short-sighted without universality, and paralytic without the unity, that can result from the spiritual co-equal status of man and woman. As already stated, in the world's need and Mai-ism, this motherhood-conception-acceptance is thus, the perfecting from the already high to yet higher stage, of the imperfect, one-eyed and one-legged individual religions, on religionization of the new most - needed tenets of “universality” and “spiritual co-equal status of man and woman."

 (5) Anyone, even if he does not believe in God, but does believe in the common tie of humanity, and practises service and extends love to all, is fully qualified, to be a Mai-ist.

(6) Any simplest, smallest or most elementary conception about the “ Finalmost Supreme, that can be imagined, is enough by itself, for anyone to believe and call himself, a Mai-ist. That is so, because the Mai conception and definition is all-including, all-embracing and all-accepting. Mai has infinite and limitless conceptions, forms, attributes, and names, as explained in details on the very second page of Mother's Thousand Names, Vol.I.

(7) Mai is the Creator, the Nourish-er and Re-arranger of the universe. Mai is the wielder of the powers of desire, knowledge or action. Mai is the Supreme controller of Nature. Mai is the very soul of all sublimity and beauties. Mai is the sustain-er of justice and Shower-er of compassion and mercy.

(8) In abstract phraseology, Mai is Divine Law, Providence, Fate, Time, Primal desire, Force, Inner Voice, and Conscience. Even what atheists call ' Chance' is Mai. Knowability or unknowability is Mai. All sportivity, beneficence, peace, happiness and bliss is Mai Mai is beyond all describables, imaginables, conceivables, feel-ables or experience-ables.

(9) Guru or spiritual Master is Mai. Assemblage of gurus is Mai. Yogic Kundalini is Mai. Personal or impersonal conception of God is Mai. Both conceptions, with or without attributes and qualities, are Mai's. The power to do or undo, or undo or do in the most wonderfully never-imagined manner is Mai's.

(10) Mai is essentially the ocean of infinite Love and Mercy. Mai is human mother, vested with all Powers, and raised to infinity and Godhood. In spite of all this bewildering majesty and petrifying power, to a Mai-ist. Mai is, what a human mother is to her child.

(11) Mai's main mandate (Ref - Mai - ism': Heading of Chapter IV) is:
“Ye that are majors, be mother unto minors, as I have been unto you."

(12) If the universe is to be made a hatred-less happy home, and if love, mercy and other qualities of the heart ( the bankruptcy of which has been felt so keenly in the present world ) are to reappear, Motherhood of God, is the most efficient basic conception, leading humankind through the most favorable, shortest, safest, simplest, surest, speediest and truest religiosity route, to the final-most human goal.

(13) Mai-ists' devotional ideal, in view of all the above stated truths, is :
"Practise feeling, that you are a child-a child whom mother could not but accept, however wicked."  
“You automatically get confidence, you retain your innocence, purity and sincerity, and you raise yourself above worldwormness, sexuality and selfishness. You are off your cares, time is eternity you, and life is lightened. Be Mother's child.

(14) The other world is an undeniable certainty. Spiritualism has proved the said truth, beyond the smallest shadow of any doubt with convincing instances, on records. The efficacy of prayers has been a truth, proved and proclaimed authoritatively, by psychologists and occult scientists, after most seriously scrutinized experiments and experiences. Dr. Alexis Carrel, the double Nobel Prize winner, especially, has given the final verdict, about the efficacy of prayers. There are hundreds of well attested cases of healing at Lourdes, in France, by the simple process of prayers. In fact, for unbiased, true, impartial truth-seekers, proofs are overwhelming. The theory of re-birth, although not proved, but at least not disproved, is fast gaining ground. All these truths taken together, awaken us to one highest truth viz., each human being's responsibility and answerability for every desire, thought, emotion, and action, etc.

(15) While on one hand, science, rationalism, occultism, psychology etc. have been fast advancing, though unfortunately only intellectually, all great individual religions, have been losing even  their smallest hold over their followers's world, socially, morally, religiously and spiritually. What works as the dictator to anyone today, is one's own free will and personal belief. While various brothers of individual religions have remained isolated and disunited, with bitterness, estrangement, rivalry and enmity, the formidable common enemy of religiosity viz. Satan, has practically captured the whole world, through mam-monism, materialism, individualism, capitalism, etc.

(16) And it is at the said most crucial moment, for the whole world, that we have to deeply and detail-fully study the whole situation. The whole religious world since in 1893 has made most afixious efforts, most favorable for a universal religion. All religionists have done their maximum, to formulate intellectually the much needed universal religion. However, in response to all their best efforts, what the world has seen as return, is nothing nobler, but just the reverse. It has been shattered through the First and Second World Wars, and we have the third one hanging over our heads, like a thin hair-tied deadly sword, creating a constant consternation.

(17) Universal Mai-ism represents the subsequent indispensable measure, that can provide the world's need, which it places before the deeply thoughtful religious world. The truth of truths. which explains the said miserable failure, in spite of innumerable herculean religious striving, and struggling for nearly seven decades, since the world began to see the indispensable need of a universal religion, is what Mai-ism has suggested since 1932. It is this: Peace and happiness can originate, and to the required extent, when the greatest good of the greatest number' becomes the life goal of any individual community, nation or the universe. Happiness has to be milked out by making others happy. The sum total of the Mai - ism six "G"s. viz gratefulness, greatness, goodness, givingness, godliness and goingness ( sacrifice, relinquishment, renunciation ) of any group, section or humanity portion, is the deciding factor about the eternal source of peace, bliss, and happiness for all inmates of the regions of that particular section. Taking a part view naturally, to the extent, any such nation or community can live in water-tight and air-tight conditions and ways of living, it does not indispensably need the universal outlook. So long as the world had spirituality and religiosity, and the main most principle of " live and let live" was most naturally observed, or rather was somehow in observance, the world was generally in peace and happiness. Each nation easily adjusted itself regarding its expectations, according to its nature's resources. Peace and happiness are God's and Mai's gifts of heart and mind, and their reverses are mostly creations of the dark regions  in the space intervening the desires and expectations on one plane and of fulfilment, or extinction thereof, on the other. The stronger the materialism grew up, the greedier, the more envious, inimical, the more plundering and the more wolf - like, each group or  nation became towards its weaker neighbors. Untruths, hypocrisies, which are the most handy weapons of satanism would work as best handles, were most intellectually developed their fullest stage, through intellectual expertness. Some nations were 'overflowed'? with pity, on seeing the religious darkness of the weaker nations. Some made most of discomforts and dirtiness during life - living, some made most of the laziness and science ignorance, about so many valuable solids and liquids, lying dormant and underutilized below their lands. Some made most about the idle lying and dying away of human - bodied physical and intellectual energies. However, all these up-roars of pity and fellow- feeling, with its remedial requirement came to this : " Let us rule over you, so that we can make you happier.' Their patent defense became this : " If a child does not understand its own interest, there is nothing wrong in its being slapped, imprisoned or enslaved.” “If need be, if some children are harassing others constantly, we should make quite a short work and a clean slate, by permanently removing them through their destruction. We have explored the easiest methods through atomic energy.” Thus spoke Satan, through stronger nations. This is the whole essence of the materialistic culture and civilization. Pride, power - lust, enjoyment. craving, greed, sex-infatuation, all intermingled, have turned the world's brain; especially of the biggest powerful nations, most lunatically. The pitiable creature of men, with no sun - rising surety about anything, in respect of oneself or the world, has been suffering of a delirium, with the rebelliousness to dethrone the highest almighty God, the creator of universes, under its drunkenness of ignorance, evil and devilish satanism.
The best intellectual dramatic managers have engaged all actors, singers and dancers, and have also managed to secure the largest audience.But they have ignored, insulted, and interned the electric power - house - in-charges and the supreme Theater - Owner. All best things have been so very intellectually explored and invented. However none knows, when the indispensable element of life and light fails, especially, light. When none can tolerate another; being absorbed in the pig - life, what else can be the end ? except anarchy and mutual massacre ? The whole world or any nation, that has cut itself off from the eternal source of divinity, is destined for degeneration, decay and death.
Fewest countable eyes of deep religious thinkers have opened up and they have, as stated before, begun to realise the need of justice, virtue, morality and of what they nominally call universal religion',  world religion 'or scientific religion ', etc. That is surely a happy forward step, towards the truest civilization, and solid real progress of the whole humanity. The next requirement, however, is that of the illumination, leading through experiences, to the conviction of the next truth viz., that "religion" is nothing without, what is Mai - ism's most favourite term," religiosity", which means the actual attainment of the religious stage, on living out religion. Any number of mere congresses, or any amount of wealth, over preaching and publications has no transcendental results, as the world has seen. We need a much higher outlook. as much near the universal outlook as possible, at least, appreciated by each one of every living being. We require, as Mai-ism most emphatically states, many times much better man to-man relationship; we require superior sense of practicing and remunerating justice, virtue and character, and here really the rulers, with all worldly powers, are more than fully, responsible.
Nothing can be more impracticable, than a kingdom without a king. Police departments, detectives, educationists, courts, jails, etc. are mere phantoms without the law enforcer. The most heroic militarist will die. The highest moralist will die. God and religion are the only eternal guarantees, for all rewards of every one's goodness, when the world turns a deaf ear.
Let me proclaim to the modern swollen-headed world “ there is God and that God does not die "; "all the goodness,selflessness, self service, sacrifice, sympathy, done to God's and especially Universal Mother Mai's any child, any moment and anywhere all on universe, shall not remain unrewarded ".
Well, that is Mai-ism. It hammers the truth of truths. You cannot fight your enemies, through mere air - bubble castles, of what the world has been babbling since 1893, with the fruitless words of a Universal Religion, without a word about the indispensable Universal God. Naturally enough, Universal Religion, if it has to act, as an antidote against the invisible poison of bitterness and hatred, prevalent amongst individual religions, is required to be as full-fledged as any individual religion, with all its limbs fully existent and developed, and all its wings and faculties, sufficiently powerful.
The most familiar conception of God is the parental one. Advocates of philosophy, theism, scriptural study, occultism, etc, form only a very small percentage of the whole living world population. On the other hand, Even a child can most easily understand and follow your teachings, when you picturize God by stating “God is to you and every human being, as your own mother or father is, on raising her or him to the plane of omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence, etc.” Parental conception has a surety of love, protection, true guidance, forgiveness, and all the highest, that any human being, groping in the dark needs, desires and craves for. Parental conception is not a dry distant conception of abstract ness and unconcern.
The last words of His Holiness, Pope John XXIII, before he passed away from this world on 3rd June, 1963, as his confessor, Rev. Msgr. Alfredo Cavagna told newsmen were : "Mater Med (Mother Mine ), as I read in the most renowned paper" Hindu" of Madras, ( 6th June, 1963,)
There are fewest really greatest men, who don't have as great a value for their mother as for their father, especially in the realm of religious, spiritual and inspirational powers.
Mother Mary, if universalized, and raised infinitely above the narrowed down limitation of Christians, and especially of the Roman Catholics, is the Universal Mother Mai of Mai - ism. Mother Mary, transcended beyond all limitations, and universalized, is Mai. On the other hand. Mai individualized, limited to and obsessed with Christianity, is Mother Mary.
If we go on agreeing step by step, to the further need beyond a universal religion, of the universal God, and next agree, that the parental conception of God alone, can be the most efficient conception, the fight of the fatherhood or motherhood is only quite a merely nominal difference, just as in the home itself. Foolish little - sensed children may fight over it. Till now, the world has known mostly the fatherhood of God, and if at all, Mother's importance has been felt, She has been given only a subordinate position. That the world cannot do without the motherhood conception is evident from the fact, stated on page 22 of the “Mother's Message " viz., that * Buddhism in China saw the need of creating a 'Kwan - Yin' Buddha - a female Buddha-a Mother Buddha, as Goddess of Mercy and the hearer of world's prayers.”
Even though in the first place, Mai - ism believes, that there is no such thing, as some one being, as the universal Father and some second being as the Universal Mother, and although it is so very clearly expressed, that God is sexless, and Universal Mother is the same as Universal Father, and further, that the difference is not of the name or sex, but that of the working psychology, that enables one to achieve the goal, (please read the first five pages of “Mai Sahasranama"), more considerations are required to be recorded here, in favour of the Motherhood conception, as under :

On the basis of the very first thoughts and experiences, does it require any great proof to show that mother is the first parent, to whom every human being is indebted, for the phenomenon of one's very birth? Whom does any child know first? Who gives nourishment to life, even before birth? Who constantly broods ) Who constantly watches? Who constantly protects? The tortoise owes its life to its brooding mother; the chicken to the hatching mother; and the fish to the gazing mother and the ungrateful man to the carrying mother. None can know the ailment and the language of the child, but mother; none can best decide the digestive diet and the relieving remedy, as mother. Father is the one whom mother first introduces as father. We have heard of several men born without a father, but none without a mother. In the matter of dealing with humanity, father is justice and mother is mercy.
Is not the conception of the motherhood so very exalted and unassailable, that no thinking man can discard it, as having no locus - standi? Can any impartial and just religious man relegate the said conception to a secondary position? Does not this conception eclipse all other conceptions, and especially that of the man's physical strength superiority, made most of by the world, till now? Is it not natural that the said conception would be welcomed, with the quickest, most wonderful, and most amazing response, even by God Almighty Himself or Herself, and greeted in the matter of its acceptance, if fullest most impartial consideration is given to the indisputable standing fact, viz. that more than half the whole humanity comprises of mothers, sisters, wives and daughters ?
As stated in “ Mother's Message", "Does it not look, as if we are under the vast transformation, and need now, to be under a changed government ? Does it not look, as if everyone is being driven from within, to break down the old world and reconstruct a new one, and is not practically every one revolting to throw off the old yoke ? Do we not feel a discontented cry for an outright change? Is not woman rushing forth into much greater prominence and power ? Mai-ism believes (Mother's Message page 27 ) the greater the motherhood manifestations, the lesser the brutalities of mankind.
The conception of the Motherhood of God is so very exalted and sublime, that no conscientious person, with impartiality and grateful magnanimity would have the idea of discarding it, as having no claim for acceptance, or even of confining it only to the secondary subordinated position. In the matter of discrimination and decision on this question, the man world has made most of man's superiority of intellect and physical strength, perhaps through the ignorance of the invisible working, that governs the universe, or through implied mutual consent of man and woman, due to forces of circumstances. Internal working values and intuitive emotional inspirational faculties, etc. of woman have remained un-fathomed, or, have been at least entirely disregarded or unrecognized, or ignored. God being sexless, or both - sexed, or above sex, Motherhood of God has one greatest point, democratically, in its favour, viz., that more than half the whole humanity comprises of mothers, sisters, wives and daughters. It is they, who are really responsible administrators and creators of homes, which alone, are the Elysiums in this world, now and here, for any the best of men.
Love is only a part of man, but everything of woman; and if man knows the technique of keeping up the woman's love at the highest apex, and transforms her to be the equally efficient complimentary part of himself, by sublimating her morally, religiously and spiritually, through familiarization, instruction and advanced knowledge, in respect of external experience, man will find Motherhood of God to be the most peaceful and more happiness - generating ideal, than that of the Fatherhood of God.
That is so, because Mother is Love and Mercy and God has always been identified with Love. None has heard of God being described as the greatest machinery - inventor or heroic conqueror or atom-bomb originator or an intellectual genius. If God is Love, and if at least now, when the world has become most consolidated, our religious goal has to be that of creating a universal family, living with mutual service and sacrifice, in unity, to have peace, prosperity and happiness. Mai - ism does deserve fullest consideration, as it has been asserting its conviction, viz., that Motherhood of God is the highest humanity - welfare - conferring conception.
Man came into being from Mother Earth, and to Mother Earth, he has to return. Woman gives life to man and it is woman that, in one sense, takes out life of man, as well. Woman is a man's temporary slayer or submerger or permanent savior, according to the woman is trained and maintained to be. If we dive yet further deep, taking the whole history of any man soul, even while working as a slight temporary slayer or submerger, the woman - soul has been a blessing in disguise, to the man - soul. Vice-versa is true, as well, on higher planes.
Of course, finally, every opinion would vary with individual experience. All the same, it is to be noted that all prevalent deductions of man - woman relations have been made, and suggested from man's view - point only. Mai - ism takes the most impartial view, and not simply the one-sided one. Mai-ism studies and tries to solve the problem," not simply, how woman can be made serviceable to man, but also how should man deal with woman, for the best happiness of both". Mai-ism wishes and it is very desirable that from a woman's point of view as well, there be quite a similar summing up, about the best mutual relations of man and woman. The most efficient course therefore, would be to train up both man and woman, to believe that both, although casually temporary, and sometime in some few cases, slayers or submerges of each other, both are in the end, and in the continued history of both, as souls, permanent saviours of each other.
As stated on page 658 in “ Mai - ism”, it is the highest and most wonderful force of sex-attraction, that trains a savage man and an ever-changeful emotional woman to be a He-Deity and a She Deity respectively, in the course of their mutual living, greatly influenced by bitter and sweet experiences. And at the end of their religious developments during lives after lives, both get deified, and both approach Mai, as much nearest, as each one deserves.
Thus Mai - ism emphasises three truths :
(1) Each one's pin-pricking and nagging, or ill-treating and neglecting is, in the long run, a blessing in disguise.
(2) Each one consciously or unconsciously develops and transforms the other to be a He or She deity, and therefore, Mai - ism insists on
(3) the full belief and practical living of the spiritual co-equal status of both man and woman.

The Final-most Highest temporary slayer or submerger, on the one hand, but Permanent Saviour, on the other, is One Alone : MAAI. And it is therefore, that Mai - ists daily repeat" Maaraka Taaraka Eka Maai” ( Slayer or saviour of mine, Thou art One Alone, Oh Mai.) Woman is in her inherent nature, the miniature of Mai. Whether a woman is looked upon as mother, or as the centre of all sexual and sensual enjoyments, makes the whole North Pole and South Pole difference. Woman or a wife often on certain occasions acts as best as a mother. Wife has to play her part as mother, minister, dependant or damsel, etc. It is in these varied most efficient capacities, that mothers, parents, elders, husbands, ( all, if of higher plane ), moralists, educationists, poets, writers and reformers, and finally religious teachers, gurus, sages, and saints, have to train, maintain and transform woman, as stated before, with the very same importance, if not greater than in the case of man, to make up and minimise the intervening region of incongruities between both.
The Women have been Helen, Menaka and Cleopatra. Woman has been Magdalene and woman has been merciful and interceding Mother Mary, as well. Woman has been the indispensable Buddha Mother, Kwan - Yin. Woman, as mother, has been what her pettest children have desired her to be. Woman has been ever ready to be what man has desired her to be. This nature of hers, is not an outcome of any actual weakness or inferiority complex of subordination, but that of her inherent nature as “ woman", so purposefully and miraculously devised by Mother Mai. Woman all along believes. that the highest blessedness of her life and living, is to be consummated, by remaining merged in the mutual love ocean, either of man and woman relationship, or that of mother and child, or that of devotion and self - surrender to one's God.

By their very inherent nature, women are made by Mai lor love, beauty, mercy, heart, etc., and men for wisdom, truth, justice, head, etc. The state of their mutual fitting-in is happiness and perfection of both.

This is, how Maiji has analysed the sex problem ( summarised from pages 651 to 663 of chapter 12 of "Mai - ism”.). In one word, Mai - ism is for spiritual, co - equal status of man and woman. It does not waste its energy over foolish questions of superiority or inferiority, justifications of conditional requirements in past, or injustice to women. Mai-ism advises, starting with a clean new slate, without entering into the past history, and getting confused, in midst of so many contradicting versions of different varieties. A bad woman is a poison and a good woman is a nectar. She is the minimizers and maximizers of man's faculties, powers, values and worth, and of man's living and life. This is Maiji's personal belief, which is in no way, in the least, binding on any of the Mai - ists. Maiji believes, that there is an extremely mysterious force, divine law and invisible and incomprehensible arrangement, and that is ever in constant actual operation, designed for the progressive, wise, and evolutionary welfare conferring aim, end and purpose of both man and woman and the world in general.
Maiji does not agree, even to the extent of an iota. with the newly sprung up class, that shouts with the accusation that man has exploited woman. That is only a cry of rebelliousness and libertinism, of the self - vanity-pampering, and self-seeking for securing maximum worldly individual happiness, or a cry out of a class - war passion. It is not the impartial or wise decision of the parental Mai-istic attitude, that is interested equally in man and woman, nor of the seers and sages, equally worried in respect of both man and woman, with foresight about their present and future. Mutual happiness and unification of man and woman, has been very strongly advocated under Mai -ism, through mutual worship on sacred days. It is again restated here, that these are Maiji's convictions, and they are not at all binding on any Mai - ist.
It is a woman who can make a hell of heaven or a heaven of hell for man, herself, and the entire family. Maiji has such a strong conviction in the matter of this most mysterious truth, that he has convened on Dassera days (proceedings in English, and under strict Purdah) sisters' socials of all women of all religions, for offering prayers together, as daughters of the Universal Mai and therefore religious sisters, for the greatest grace showers of Mother Mai, all over the world, without any distinction of class, creed, colour, community, country, nation or religion. (Sisters' socials were held in Poona, Madras, Calicut. Trichur, Trivendrum and Ernakulum (Cochin).
The newest idea, of holding sisters' socials of women of all religions, and in strict Purdah with no man, not even a male child, has a most mysterious importance, in the building of the new world's psychology, in respect of man and woman relationship, which few-est can realise. In fact, Maiji is of opinion, that any religion, which aspires to be a universal one, must accept the Mai -istis principle of spiritual co-equal status of man and woman. If that is not accepted and practised in daily life, Maiji says, that it is impossible for any soul bird, to rise heavenwards in evolution. It would be losing its balance, on having to fly with its two winge, that are unequal, or with the left woman wing subordinated to the right man wing.

In the Trichur Sisters' Social, held on 4th October 1957, Dassera Day, this point was made fully clear by Maiji, after the Purdah Sisters' Social meeting was declared as dispersed. That was the special desire of the audience of sisters, which, having remained same (wholly undiminished ), prevailed upon and pressed Maiji to address them, especially on the said point, of the Mai - istic man & woman relationship. In his address, Maiji began by stating it most lamentingly, with tears in his eyes, that he so much prostrated, prayed and demanded it, from the audience of all sisters, that there be no chance of any accursed day in future, as a result of the present sisters and their descendants growing rebellious, tyrannical, possessive and enslaving, to such an abnormal, man-harassing extent, that the man - world of posterily would be cursing Mai-ism and its Founder, (most beloved Maiji of kerala sisters ), for having upheld the cause of woman. Quickly, the sisters responded and shouted out, “No, Maiji, no, we promise and swear, such a day will never be." As there is another side to every problem, Maiji is insisting on mutual worship of man and woman, with the importance, which is much greater than even the sisters' social itself. For all times, let it be before mind, that Mai and Maiji, both, are “ Mother” to both sisters and brothers. Let it be clear, Maiji is not a modern social reformer, advocating the cause of woman-kind alone. Maiji is for the best mutual relations of both man and woman, as therein alone lies peace and happiness. Maiji is for filling up the woman valley, and not for creating through aggressions and accretions, a formidable feminine mountain, overpowering and subjugating, and tyrannically ruling the male world.

Regarding the general cry of great injustice to womankind, let us not forget, ours are only inferences, and they are mostly based on exaggerated, distorted and sometimes only exceptional, events and facts. Modern outlook and mentality is entirely different from the past. In the past, protection and maintenance had the greatest practical value, just as we have courtesy, chivalry in our own times, for etiquette, liberty, freedom, and independence. All the same, judging from what our mentality is today, it must be conceded, that speaking generally, injustice towards women has long and largely prevailed. Woman, generally till now has been subjected to more or less subordination, injustice, docility, humility and humiliation; and it is therefore, that Mai - ism intercedes on woman's behalf, in upholding their cause, under entirely changed conditions. On the other hand, if at all, any time, woman becomes hot - headed, selfish, proud, and possessive, certainly, Mai-ism shall have to be taking up with the same force, the next just cause of the man - world, as well. That is so, because, to Mai and Maiji, both females and males, daughters and sons, are equally dear.

What Mai - ism has so often most emphatically taught, is that all satanism of the notion of inferiority of woman and superiority of man, should go. Much though the male would deny, there has been all over the world, at least, the most universally established psychological inherited abnormal mentality, viz that of the woman's inferiority. Who would deny even today ? that the birth of a girl is not greeted as happily, as that of a son ? It is a recorded fact, that the birth of a girl in some countries, was once, a day of lamentation. Religions have also, set too high a value to the masculine superiority. Maiji says, that from times immemorial, this was accepted, most likely, because of the superiority of man's physical prowess, in an age when physical, military, and brute strength was indispensable for the safety, especially of women, and of the families, communities, and countries. On the other hand, we cannot ignore certain facts, when the modern woman resentfully raises the issues of injustice, inferiority, inequality and in fewest cases, even inhumanity. Religiously, Eve has been depicted only as an appendage to Adam, and woman has been stated to have been created from one of the ribs of man. Under the Ow Testament, a husband could divorce his wife, by merely signing a document. For the man it was quite enough, if he took full custody of the children, and promised maintenance to the woman. Socially, the custom of polygamy lowered the status of woman, and here too religion made most about the sonless or childless persons' life beyond. The harems of Muslims reduced the status of women, by keeping them in self - development - preventing solitary seclusion. Taking at least the modern secular view, it must be regretfully stated that Hindus, so very enthusiastic, in blowing their own trumpets, had in the past, customs of forced widowhood in higher communities, and several instances of self-burning satees, which drove many women, and especially the queens, sometimes against their own will, to ascend the funeral pyre of their most beloved king husbands. As unwelcome babies, involving economic ruin, some communities had the practice of immersing newly born girls in milk, till death. All these, although, superficial facts of past, do, forcefully drive all impartial men and women to admit the imputation, under consideration, viz in respect of the pre-domination of the superiority of the masculine element. At least in the Past. Surely, these details are not for creating a feeling of vengeance. Past is the past. Let man and woman be wiser from today, at least those, that are Mai-ists. Let me remind, the molding forces of whole humanity, originate from God and Religion, alone.

Maiji wants you to take the most considerate, noblest view, viz., that there might have been, or even now, there may be hundreds of reasons and justifications for the superiority of man in certain societies; but yet, at least principally, the general fact remains, that man's superiority and women's inferiority have been there since centuries, actually in vogue. 

As stated by the advocates of woman franchise, there are recorded facts, which go to show that repeated demands for equality of all men never included any consideration whatever of the feminine rights. Woman's problems were never given an independent, individual thought based on justice and fairness. Woman remained and lived, as “included in man”. Even in the United States, as, Maiji has read, females were barred from franchise until 1920. And in England itself, it was only in 1918, that women were first admitted to the franchise. Even now, it is not impossible to find in some countries, the treatment meted out to women, being reminiscent of the past periods of slavery.

However, Maiji calls upon you, sisters and daughters, not to pull the world to be reduced to be still worse, from the frying pan into the fire. Please, for Mai's and Maiji's sake, fully understand what Mai-ism and Maiji teaches. Maiji wants you to refer to the “ Woman's Status ' in " Mai Sahasranama” Vol. I, page 21.

Mai - ism is for increasing the spirit of Love, Service, Devotion and Cheerful Self- surrender of each other, as between a wife and husband. Neither imitation, competition, non-co-operation, nor distrust rivalry discontent and disunion. Neither woman nor man should be a mere morsel of food, merely, to satisfy sexual hunger. We do not want the sexual lust to predominate, and temporary unification out of helplessness and physical indispensable need. We do not want faddish woman - absorbed poets, who would make women their finalmost goddesses, and of whom they would remain only quite unworthy useless worshippers. We do not want villains, who pamper and placate women with praises and finally ruin them. Mai - ism does not approve modern western psychologists' emphasis on women's role in life, only as a sexual object. That sort of mentality is most harmful to both man and woman, as it reduces woman's spiritual, and religious status, dignity and divinity. Mai -ism does not want men that are beauty - hunters, nor women that are gold-diggers.

Similarly, we do not want women to assume the role of goddesses, expecting or encouraging and receiving attention and worship from romantic poets, or uxorious or domineered intimidated husbands. Neither do we want women to their innate, infatuating powers, over victims of sensuousness for gratification of their voluptuous cravings or for enjoyment of well pleasures. We do not want experienced cunning men and white to tempt or entice or subjugate innocent inexperienced women and men. Mai - ism is entirely displeased with the living of an enchantress, who entices men for gratification of physical cravings Mai -ism never expects women to turn tyrannical and strike terror in the minds of men, and reduce their lives to abject misery of refined civilized slavery. Mai - ism does not want either men to enslave women, or women to enslave men. In one word, 

What Mai-ism enunciates is the spiritual co-equal status of both men and women, by a happy blending of the apparently paradoxical rights of both. Mai - ism does not approve of any injustice, that might have been meted out to women in the past. At the same time. Mai jsm does not expect women to avenge, for the past. While Mai.ism appeals to women to forgive and forget and nurse no more any ill - will against men for the past injustice, it calls upon men to deviate from the trodden path of subjugating women, and to recognize and inculcate the spiritual co-equal status of man, and woman. Mai ism wants man and woman to bury the past, start afresh with new values of unselfishness, and unpossessiveness, on each requirement of each one's duties and obligations, which are quite different from the past undesirable and misunderstood standards. Let each one's living be guided and enlightened, on the basic belief of the universal dictum, which the Universal Religion of Mai - ism has laid down, viz., the spiritual co-equal status of both man and woman, under which neither man nor woman is superior or inferior to the other, along with the said principal tenets of love and service. Mother Mai is pleased with such of the male and female Mai devotees, as remain entirely laithful to their respective family duties, disciplines and traditional sacred customs and conventions.

As is fully known to all Mai's names repeaters - devotees, Mother is Suvaasinyarchanapreetaa and Lokayaatraa Vidhaayini, as also Kuloddhaarini.
Suvaasini - Archana : Under the name “Suvaasini...", Mother's name ( No. 711), the comment to be read on page 9 of part IV of Mother's Thousand Names, Vol. Il runs as under:
Mother's female devotees must be carriers and creators of happiness. To all, they should live like the most beautiful and fragrant flowers, that spread their fragrance of hilarity, purity and divinity, all around them.
Mother is most pleased with those female devotees, that give maximum happiness to others, as daughter, wife, mother, or family member woman, neighbour, hostess, kind mistress to servants, patroness, donoress, etc.
Their above said noblest fulfilment is in itself, and by itself, accepted as quite a satisfactory worship ( archana ), by Mai, and as much superior to any mere routine ceremonious temple or image worship. Woman has the inherent quality of bringing happiness and hence, Mother is most pleased with such female devotees, as by their very presence, sweet speech and service, make all miseries forgotten, and with them, that spread the fragrance of their silent virtue and self - sacrifice.
Lokayaatraa : The name " Lokayâtrâ (No. 285)” has been referred to on page 183 of Mother's Thousand Names, Part II, Vol. I. It conveys Mother's promise of dexterously managing the worldly relations, duties and maintenance, and smooth running of the worldly life, etc., of all Her devotees, by various unseen and unknown and mysterious external and internal adjustments. This is evidently true, about all devotees - males and females, or man and woman. Of course, as  explained above, under Suvaasini…. The credit and responsibility of individual or family or household happiness, falls to the share of female devotees.  
Kuloddhaarini : Further consideration brings us to the  conception of a family. Man and woman, in course of time. th eternal divine process of the former - stated mutual sex-attraction to be husband and wife, and later, become and are termed fathe mother, on having the progeny of children - sons and daughters. The group or set consisting of the father, mother and children makes up a family, spoken of as “ Kula, " under Mai - ism literature.
Mother Mai, with reference to a Kula or a family, on Mai being accepted and installed as the family goddess, that is surrendered to, worshipped, prostrated to, with names - repetitions, introspection, Guru- contact, etc., and on the preliminary advanced plane, specially propitiated through mutual worship* by husbands and wives in the family, and finally through a sexual un-contaminated mutual mental and heart worship, becomes Kuloddhaarini - the saviour of the family, in all aspects of misery - removals and happiness and grace - showers, of both, principally of this world, as also in other worlds, beyond and after this life.
This process is so very beautifully described in Mai - names with words in one couplet as:
Kuladevi Kulaanganaa Kulaantasthaa, Kulayogini Kulottirnnaa, Kulataarini, Kuloddhaarini.
Once Mai is accepted as the family goddess (kula.devi), first thing She does, is to sublimate the women ( anganaa ) individualities of the Kula, i.e. family, (kulaanganaa), as that is the most solid foundation of the family and its happiness. Next, Mai always stands firm ( sthaa ) with the family, whenever in (anta ) i.e. calamities and critical situations. (Kulaantasthaa). Next, Mai works as the best unifier (kula - yogini), as the reconciler, not only of the various members of the family itself, but also as the affiliator, in respect of most agreeable and worthy outside families, to be closely connected, through friends or relatives or new relations through marriages etc. Further, Mai sees that the family gets passed through (kulo-ttirnaaa ), all examinations and tests, 'as the summum bonum of all Mai's grace, in every detailed working and management. The accumulative result, is that the whole family as one unit, gets raised and raised, in all respects ( kula - taarini), and finally all the members of the family, that have accepted Mai as family goddess, and are devoted and surrendered to Mai, soon have the experience of visualising Mai, with experience, as their final most Saviour, (Kuloddhaarini).
For an extremely clear devotional understanding, as to how, Mai makes the devotees' heart Her own home, how She accompanies them wherever they are, or they go, and how finally, Mai begins, actually residing in the family house, or temple etc., of Her devotees, please read Phala Shruti (recollection of benefits and be beginning from Page 135, Vol. II, Part IV:
As male and female Mai-ists repeat during Mai worshine mutual worships, there is the most powerful auto - suggestion to her in respect of their perfect unification, through the repetition of the following mantra:
Pati Patni, Shiva Shakti, Maai - Kripayad, Eka Eka. Husband ( and ) wife, be they like Shiva and Shakti, by Mai's Grace. one one.
Be They Like Shiva Shakti, by Mai's Grace, One, One.
As explained on Page 46 of Part 1 of Vgl. i of Mathers Thousand Names, Mai is the finalmost God, element or entity, that is divisible into two halves, viz., passivity and activity, or ieve and power, or to use the Hinduism personified phraseology, Shiva and Shakti respectively. The happiest condition arises, when Mai is conceived as  Mal is conceived as final - most one alone, being the Mother of (1) Shiva, who has  who has Shakti in His heart and ( 2 ) Shakti, who has Shiva in Her heart. Shiva is absorbed in meditation of Shakti, and Shakti is restlessly active, for the purposes of burying Shiva in the joy of pleasures of Her making. Mai - ism establishes between the husband and wife, through mutual worship, the divine relationship of the worshipper and the worshipped, alternately,
Mai-ism wants Mai -ists, both females and males, to ever bear it in mind, that the woman is a greater slayer or a greater savior of man (through mind, heart and soul) than the man is of the woman off by common spiritual religious or moral working of both together, say ten thousand units of advancement are achievable, they should be utilized to the benefit of the lesser developed consort soul that is found weaker in any particular aspect, so that the difference of the two planes be minimised. As it is, such commonly - achieved high-planed differences minimisation gives peace and happiness to both, and the whole family.
It most silently trains up the younger ones, as they mould themselves and march, in parents' footsteps, being most silent and keen observant and automatically parents - imitating children and babies, most nobly.

It is this psychological truth of truths viz. that the final peace and happiness of any nation, country, community or Family depends on woman's greatness, virtue, morality, religiosity and spirituality, that Mai - ism has so very emphatically and preferentially advocated the cause of woman, to train them to be much superior saviors, of at least their families. The modern world, with its new materialistic civilization, has seen a little of the sparkling exterior of the said truth, but the all - told outlook being of the selfish individualistic materialistic and godless irreligious nature, the world has been marching forward on the ruinous paths of believing sameness of man & woman, regarding their inherent natures, their education, ways of living thinking and feeling, resulting in worst competition, bitterness, divorce, non-co-operation, class war - burning, substitution of the divine connubial love by mere body and flesh lust etc. However, after all, We can take consolation under the idea that the world is progressing ahead. Unfortunately, the world is so very obstinate, that it never accepts any new truth, explained in advance, unless it has stumbled, fallen and bruised its nose, and until it has gone through the furnace-heat of innumerable, unbearable bitter-most experiences. Mai - ism fully recognises the co-equal status, but does not ignore the basic fundamental fact of their inherent separate natures, designed by Almighty, for the purposes of each one helping the other, as the complementary part, to attain human perfection.

Mai-ism wants all women to eradicate completely, all consciousness of any injustice (if at all), that might have been done to them in the past. We know nothing about the reasons, conditions, justifications and the actual internal reverences and valuable services in return, which males might have rendered, to deserving females. We have no idea of, how far men were obliging, and obedient, behind the curtains.

Anyway, let bygones be bygones. First, let us accept and Mai-ism, the spiritual co-equal status of man and woman. not either man or woman forget to abide by the noblest Mai-istic dictum of spiritual co - equal status of man and woman. Mai-ism enjoins, maintaining ever awake, the most clear conception, that the fields of activities and capacities of both man and woman an practically quite separate as head and heart. There is nothing more foolish than to draw comparisons, as between an expert of literature and of science, or as between a saint and a politician. Let each man and woman fully study the inherent nature of each other and be a good deal much more blind and more kind, in respect of each other's weaknesses and in-capacities. Mai - ism does not approve woman's new craving to be man-like, under the new spirit of rebellious independence. In fact, that is only a civilized servility and tempting flattery. Mai - ism would like women to develop their sublime feminine qualities, virtues, capacities, and to achieve feminine masteries subtleties and sublimities. Man has to evaluate woman through the tests of women's subjects alone. Similarly, woman has to evaluate man, on the basis of men's own subjects. Each one has to judge best and form an estimation of another, in the legitimate region of spontaneity and naturalness.

The final requirement Mai - ism most emphatically lays every stress upon, is the mutual worship with Love, Service, Devotion and Cheerful Self - Surrender to each other. Remember, Mai's Grace smoothens all misery, on generating the bearing power and patience, and on minimizing suffering, through hopefulness and mental absorption and spiritual strength. It is only Mai's grace, that does and can create and transform poison injection into poison proofness. Once all the weaknesses and vices are conquered by any individual, as stated in Mai - ism, the last straw that breaks the camel's back is the sexual, most natural attraction. Sexual attraction is the most merciful Mai's un-fathomed mystery, which deifies man or woman, through the grace of God and Guru. The most terror - striking most envious or possessive wife or husband, puts the other into a fire of purification, in which all lingering lurking desires of sexual impulses are completely burnt away. This is not true for one and all. Bad things may become worse as well. And therefore for this, Mai's mercy and Maiji's grace, or God's mercy and Guru's grace are indispensable. The flesh-born sex - impulse is sublimated into the spiritual love - impulse, only through the grace of the Guru and mercy of God. Thus, man and woman become fully unified and their perfect unification in the Lotus Feet of Mai or Maiji, not only paves the way, but also opens out an avenue, for permanent peace, prosperity, and happiness

Maiji implicitly believes, and emphatically asserts, that Mai conception of God is most supreme; most exalted, and most sublime and unparalleled. In ultimate words, Father is law, light and justice. Mother is love, mercy and protection. And "Mai” conception includes the other two conceptions of “Mother-Father" and "Father Mother”, both, as well. Thus, Mai-ism completely solves the conflict, which in its simplest form, is only a mere man-made paradoxical tangle of two conceptions. Both ideologies of Father and Mother stand harmonized in the one unique parental whole ideology of Mai, under Universal Mai-ism.

One of the mystic Christian prophesies states the inviolable truth: “The reign of the Holy Spirit (Mother) is at hand. The reign of the father is past and the reign of the son is passing."
Mai-ism, being entwined round the most merciful parent, has its greatest appropriateness in this age of bomb-war fare, cruel capitalism, lawless labor, godless communism, national wolfish-ness, racial ruthlessness and enslaving passion.
Mai-ism feels, the universe is changing from God's one aspect to another. With an outright change, in the approach aspect of God, from fatherhood to motherhood, Mai-ism is sure about the gushing forth of the new creative tremendous forces, of new enthusiasm, ardor, zeal, vigor, and vitality, from the innermost hearts of really religious souls, who are at present paralyzed under the chaotic conditions of individual religions, with amplest justification for a general nausea against “religion”.

Nothing is more obvious, than that with the change of ruler-ship, the whole mentality of the ruled immediately transforms itself. With the change in the most prevalent mentality, the ways of believing and living, also change. The rules and regulations change, and even religion changes. As a corollary, its summarisation, codification, interpretation, and comment changes. The final outcome is that, the whole outlook on life most automatically and quite imperceptibly changes enormously. Were not Muslims and Britishers looked upon and revered, so many times more worthy than during other normal periods, when India was under the rulership of the Moghals and the rule of the Britishers? Womankind is sure to receive a great uplift, on the conception of the motherhood of God gaining more and more ground. Mother, being equally the mother of Her sons and daughters, of both sexes, asserts and ensures the Mai-ism common-plane truth, viz., that of the spiritual and religious co-equal status of man and woman.

Anyone who, without self-infatuation and prejudice reads Mai-ism, will at once see, that there is nothing like bad blood being in the hearts of Mai-ists, against any other religionists, or, say Fai-ists. And that is so because religiously, and also practically, Mai-ists believe, "There is nothing like one God as a father, and second one, as a mother.” The very same one Almighty is believed by and appears to some as “Father” and to some as "Mother”. In fact, the quarrel originates not from the differences of beliefs, but from the worldly and selfish interests of the representatives of each belief, and here therefore it becomes necessary to mention practically truly guiding principles and facts about Mai-ism.

Mai-ism does not lay any claim for any Nobel Prize for any research in religion. It does not aspire to be the possessor of a patent. It welcomes any new Founder of a Universal Fai-ism. As Mai-Swarupa, the Founder has so often stated all abroad, the aim and object of Mai-ism is the consolidation of all truly universal religionists. under one common banner of a Universal God. Man-ism is for the federation of all individual religions: Mai-ism is for maintaining the full integrity of every individual religion, with the very same powers and possessions, of the heads of each religion: Mai-ism is for establishing religious universal training universities; Mai-ism is for the principle of democracy, but not for demonocracy with its hypocrisies, falsehoods, abuses and exploitations.
Mai-ism is for arriving at any decisions, after full consultation and deliberation, of not one-sided but all-sided views, beliefs, experiences, opinions and propositions Mai-ism appreciates the common sharing principle, but not restricted only to a limited portion of humanity and not without the full consideration of the actual worth and indispensable need and worth of each individual, and surely not without a natural acceptance of non-violence, value of human life as being much higher than mere herds, and not under the stark ignorance of other worlds and without the idea of everyone's answerability for one's desires, thoughts and actions, to some higher power that governs the universe. In one word, Mai-ism places all conceivable and possible stress on conscience-prick, against violence, in-jury to human life and against rebellious godlessness.

(18) True Mai-ists know through experience that the secret of attaining mastery is Recapitulation and Repetition. That alone is the invisibly working principle for attaining mastery, practised by the whole world. I am sure, true Mai-ists will not mind, repetition of the same notions, while I recapitulate as below:
Today, the world is beset with misery, famine, earthquake, impending wars, conquests, and devastations, because we have thrown overboard, all our allegiance to the Creator and Disposer of human destinies. While all the best religious thinkers have agreed that a universal religion is the only remedy for pacification of all dissension and warfare, they have been unable to reach the required heights in their research, in consonance and proportionate with the general progress of the world. That is so, because even the deepmost thinking of religion itself is devoid of the required spiritual strength, of overleaping the remotest boundaries of materialism, and solving the problem in the most appropriate manner, with self less religious approach. Judging a tree by the fruit it bears, it is evident, that even while the greatest religious thinkers have come to the inevitable conclusion, that the one and only remedy for all the ills of the world is a Universal Religion, there is something missing, something wrong somewhere, obstructing the solution.

(19) Despite all the Parliaments and Conferences held for the preaching of the Universal Religion, what the world has seen, has been the most horrible devastations caused by the two World Wars, with the third one impending over the world's head, like a hanging sword.
so Where is the flaw ? It is here: Without actually living the life of a universal religionist, characterised by definiteness of what the universal religion means, without the actual installation of a Universal God, of a universally acceptable conception, all talk and only intellectually derived decisions about a universal religion, is nothing more than, mere soap bubbles paper boats or castles in the air.
(20) So long as there is no recognition of the universal parenthood of either Universal Mother or Universal Father, all expectations of sympathy, attention, co-operation, unity, peace, prosperity, etc. through the propagation of universal brotherhood alone, is in vain. As made clear by Mai-ism, mere emphasis in the negative aspect of a Universal Religion, with very general instructions, not to make any distinction between different individual religions, has no spiritual sanction behind it. That divine sanction with spiritual - power - infusion is indispensable for a universal religion, if it is to operate as an antidote against the poison of individual religions. A universal religion, therefore, is required to be at least as full-fledged as any individual religion, although it may take decades, quarters of centuries, or centuries, to develop and reach that stage and goal. What is required under a universal religion is righteous living, sympathy for and co-operation with righteousness, virtue, best character, spirit of service, sacrifice, love, devotion, and self-surrender.

(21) It is for the filling up of the void and for fulfilling the function under the spiritual sanction and to include all the aspects of God and Religion, that the Universal Religion of Mai - ism and the Universal God as Mai, the Universal Mother of all, have been enshrined. MAI - ISM, the Universal Religion was proclaimed in the year 1932 and Mai - ism has passed through the auspicious period of over thirty years by now, (in 1963) while coping with so many difficulties and destructive elements.

(22) As stated on page 445 “Mai - ism”, the task of today for a religious reformer is hard in a hundred ways, vide“ Mai Sahasranama " (Vol. II, Part III, Introduction on Page II ). The first and foremost work is, that he has to make the world realise that it cannot be happy without truly lived-out religion. He has to strengthen the belief both ways - not only by showing, how religion has come to the aid of mankind, but how highest civilisations, no! based on religion, have been swept away under the degenerating and decaying influences of Time. For the modern age, a mere statement of any reformer about a truth is not enough. He has to introduce the universal outlook in every individual religion. He has to consolidate the wisdom of the past, extracting the essence to the irreducible minimum limit. He has to sift out the gold dust and establish the proper values for essentials and non-essentials of every religion. He has to break monopolies. He has to minimise abuse and exploitation. He has to raise the general level of spiritual understanding, divine knowledge, plain living and high thinking. He has to strengthen the cultural and moral background. He has to root out all mischiefs in the name of religion. He has to lay down best efficacious life routine. He has to think out the best solutions of all new burning questions that have cropped up, and will crop up, as times advance. He has to consider various thirsts and hungers. He has to introduce safety valves and brakes for the good governance of the society and family life.
The religious reformer has to sublimate the energies of various passions. He has to suggest methods of equalisation, to fill in the voids, below a certain minimum standard of living. He has to lay down certain standards for every gradation in life, to prevent enormous, increase or decrease and the very disappearance of any standard whatsoever, which results in turbulent discontent, rebelliousness disparity and the rushing in of degeneration. He has to interweave considerations of this world below and the other world above. He has to create the recognition of the sameness of the Creator, the Created, and the Creation. He has to open the world's eye to the same one life, animating one and all.

(23) If the world wants to be happy, it must start a searching campaign in every nook and corner of all continents, for saintly souls who are fully universal-minded, to whom all religions are theirs, to whom all peoples of any nation are theirs, to whom the greatest joy is to serve God's all children, to whom, being in communion with and in the service of God, is the only living. Let A start to find B, who is his equal or superior, and let B find C, his equal or superior, whom A accepts, till there are sufficient saintly souls, linked together in one universal religion's legion. Let them all unitedly and simultaneously, at the same hour pray and pray to the Almighty - the final-most Mother or Father – for the general welfare of our little light-needing world.

Such self-controlled, universal-minded, God-favored, humanity- welfare worried, selfless high souls of the said "The Nero Universal Saints Order '' alone, can create fully the best legislators, advisers, society formers, society reformers, peacemakers and peace establishers.

At every step, every human being needs an ideal, an adviser, and a consoler. Individuals need one, families need one, continents need one, the whole world needs one. (24) Maiji as Sub-Councillor-in-Chief of The International Religious Federation (IRF) of Japan, of which he is the Co-founder, with Yonosuke Nakano, the Founder of Ananai Kyo, since 1955, has poured forth his heart through his thesis and articles, in the big eight volumes of the World Religions Congress reports. The Ananai Kyo issue dated January 1958, pp. 40–45, gives the essence of Maiji's Life-long Aim as under :
“My object has been to collect all views about the need of unification of different Nations and Religions, World Peace, Re - organisation Measures, for increasing general religiosity, and to the giving of higher value to Love and Service, than to so many riff raffs of any Religion. Mai - ism stands for Humanity, Universal - mindedness, Humility, Self-surrender, Morality, Justice, Truth, etc."

“As I am the follower and devotee of the Universal Mother of all religions and religionists, I am not a valuer or a prize distributor in an exhibition, but I am the gatherer and consolidator of nectar fruits, from any gardens of the whole world. All gardens are finally owned by God Almighty, whose servant and slave, but most beloved and ever pardoned pet creature, I am. I have thrown off all outer skins of different sugarcanes of different countries and I am pressing out their juice, and collecting in a common receptacle, under Mai-ism. I have unified all juices to form one juice, which I invite and welcome all my brothers to share with me, in the sacred memory of one common parentage of ours-one and all of us. UNIVERSAL GOD OF ONE AND ALL, BLESS US ALL.”
" Personally, I think this work has its own uniqueness. It would be more useful work to take up all books of eternities of every religion and to revise and abridge them and to make them appreciative and attractive and handy enough, for the modern leisureless world, without thrusting one's personal views and comments.”
“I would like to prepare new text books of each Religion, made acceptable to the modern man, on the same basis of Psychology, Rationalism, Universality and Science, as I have tried to formulate Mai - ism, without losing a single gold dust GRAIN. Finally, I would wish to see the enactment of a World-Bible, World-Geeta World-Dhammpaad or World-Quran, etc. for them who have remained discontented, and who have not been satisfied with any one of the so many Religions, each one whereof, was made suitable to a certain mentality of a certain nation, in midst of certain conditions and environments, during a certain age.

(25) It is relevant have to add, that the distinguishing feature of Mai - ism the Universal Religion, entwining round MAI, the Universal Mother of all, is that it not only welcomes all different religions, but also generally recognises and respects all their ways of worships, rights, philosophies, beliefs, etc. etc, Mai-ism repeats the right of everyone of its followers to select one's own way, for one's personal, spiritual, evolution. Although there are so many advanced stages under Maj-ism, the requisite qualification for a Mai-ist is, that he should have the universal outlook, and must be prepared to love and serve anyone of any religion, irrespective of caste and creed, colour and status. Devotion and unconditional cheerful self- surrender to one's own God or Deity, and recognition of the spiritual co-equal status of man and woman, are the advanced stages under Mai-ism. To be a Mai - ist, belief in the very existence of God is not indispensable, if one has a universal outlook and is ready to love and serve all.
Amongst other things, what Mai - ism offers to the whole world, is the conception of the Universal Mother worshipped by Mai-ists as MAI, who being sexless, is the Universal Father As well, and who is easily propitiated by living the life of Love, Service, Devotion and Self - surrender. Mai has awarded the spiritual sanction behind Mai - ism, the Universal Religion.

( 26) The Founder of Mai-ism would like some universal-minded religious and rich philanthropists, to come forth for the construction of the Universal Mother's, Mai's, Major Temple, surrounded by several other minor temples, representing the worshipping place for the followers of a certain individual religion, who in addition and over and above what their own individual religion prescribes, are prepared to practically live out the belief, that we are one and all, children of the same Almighty Mother or Father. Maiji's great ambition is to have several Mai-ists, who have been initiated into the ceremonies of each religion and who would voluntarily be conducting worship in minor temples, deities, who are really, only varieties of the different aspects of the very same Mother in minor temples, as may be required by any Mai-ists of different individual religions, on certain celebration occasions, following the details and sacred ceremonies, prescribed by each one of the individual religions.


(27) An illiterate agriculturist boy madly ran with seeds to the fields during heavy rains. He slipped and fell and the seeds were scattered on the ground. Many laughed, and a few helped. The boy returned discouraged and disheartened to his MOTHER. Said his Mother to him: “Compose thyself my child: While you slipped, the seeds have fallen and have been sown. Few years, hence, we shall invite both those that helped and those that laughed, and we will serve them one and all, without any distinction or difference, with fruits which the very same seeds will bear."

Mother's Message

UNIVERSAL MOTHER'S MESSAGE BY SAINT SHREE MAI SWARUP MAI MARKAND
[ DATED 2 SEPTEMBER 1932 ]

Founder and President," MOTHER'S LODGE", Mai Niwas, Saraswati road end, Santa Cruz (west) Mumbai 400054 INDIA

MAI-ISTIC CONCEPTION

MAI-ISM has its origin in the Motherhood conception of God Almighty. Mother is the very same God whom the world has worshipped till now; mainly as Father. Mother is sexless, and therefore, beyond He, She or It and is therefore, the very same as Father. "MAI" is the Hindi word for "Mother", "Mai-ism " offers to the world , in this trying times, when the world needs highest mercy of the Almighty, the conception of Universal Mother, to be worshipped by one and all, who are universal minded, religious, God fearing and God loving.

Mai-ism the psychological religion for one and all of any religion or no religion without caste, creed or colour. With full reverence to and while following one's own religion , one can be a Mai-ist. Mai-ism is one's own personal religion to be adopted after the age of discretion and not merely one's ancestral religion of one's birth.

Mai (Mother) is not Maya or Illusion-Creator, nor Shakti or Power requiring separate Controller, not Father's Wife, not the Fifth Hindu Deity, not Mother Kali, not Mother Mary, not God's handmaid, not Demon's slayer, not Mother that is pleased with animal or human sacrifices, not Mother of thieves and dacoits, not Mother of rebels revolutionaries, not Mother of Black-Magicians, Ughra-Sadhaks, Ghat-Kunchuki Dev-dasis or Vamachars.

Mother is essentially the Ocean of Infinite Love and Mercy, Mother is human mother vested with Omnipresence, Omniscience and Omnipotence and raised to Infinity and Godhood. Mai is to Mai-ist what a human mother is to her child.

Under mai-ism, there is no place , by its very postulates, for the condemnation of Harijans as 'untouchables, Woman's subjugation by Man or condemnation by routine religion as "Narakasya Dwaram"(Hell's Gate) has no room, as every Mai-ist is expected to look upon every woman (except his own wife) as representative form of Mother and as under Mai-ism the co-operation of man and woman in the Mother's worship is the highest spiritualising force. The spirit underlying the words "Heathen", "Kafir", "Mlechcha", "Durvan", etc., has no existence under Mai-ism.

If the Universe is to be made hatredless happy home and if love , mercy and other qualities of heart, (the bankruptcy of which has been so keenly felt in the present world) are to reappear, Motherhood of god is the most favorable aspect and conception.

A universal evil needs a universal remedy, and the Grace of universally acknowledged common Parent of one and all. The Merciful-Mother parent. The Universal Mother.
A universal prayer offered to universally-conceived, universally-acknowledged universal Almighty, has its own undreamt-of miraculous efficiency, with followers of individual delimited vision can never imagine.

A universal call alone can have a universal response.

The six tenets of Mai-ism are :
1) God is more merciful when approached as Mother;
2) Mother is mother of all, without caste, creed or colour;
3) Mother smiles, on one's trying to love All, to one's best;
4) Mother saves, on one's trying to serve All, with one's best;
5) Mother showers (Her Grace) on one's devotion to Her;
6) Mother serves, on one's living the life of universal love and service, with devotion to Her and unconditional, cheerful self surrender to Mother's Divine Will.

One who does not believe in god , but who does believe in the common tie of humanity and practises service and extends Love to all is a Mai-ist, because he is the follower of Mai in one of Her aspects as One Universal Soul, One Universal Consciousness or One Universal Cosmos, like unto the continuous string through rosary beads subjecting everyone of the Universe to the slightest influence anywhere in the whole.

A Mai-ist's devotional ideal is :

"Practice feeling that you are a child A child whom a mother  could not but accept, however wicked . You automatically get confidence you regain your innocence , purity and sincerity and you raise yourself above world-wormness, sexuality and selfishness. You are off your care. Time is eternity for you and therefor the burden of life is lightened. Be mother's child and Her lap shall be thrilling and throbbing to have you on itself."

माई संदेश

माई मार्ग का

  ईस्वी सन 1944  विक्रम सं० २००० 

माई आज्ञा से मैं प्रसिद्ध करता हूं कि माई ने अपने माई मार्ग का द्वार सारी दुनिया के लिये चैत्र शुक्ल प्रतिप्रदा सं० २००० तारीख २५ मार्च १९४४ को खोल दिया है। माई धर्म दुनिया के किसी भी धर्म के अनुयायी के लिए वा बिगर धर्म वालों के लिए भी है। यह माई धर्म ईश्वर को माता स्वरूप माननेवाले कुदरती भावना के आधार पर रचा गया है । यह खास उनके लिए है जो माई धर्म का अनुसरण करना चाहते हैं, वा माई धर्म के सिद्धांत का पालन उसकी कृपा दया अथवा आखिर मोक्ष चाहते हैं। मां व्यक्त स्वरूप और अव्यक्त स्वरूप इन दोनो से परे है। वह सर्वगुण सम्पन्न है और निर्गुण भी है। वह जाति रहित है इसलिए न तो वह पुरुष है और न स्त्री । मगर दोनों ही है और दोनों से परे भी है। विश्व जिसको जगत पिता कहता है वही यह मां है । परमात्मा में मातृ-भावना या पितृ भावना का फर्क एक आध्यात्मिक दृष्टि से ही नहीं है मगर यह तफावत उनके लिए तो बड़े महत्व का है जिनको धर्म की, ज्ञान की और साक्षात्कार की तीव्र महत्वाकांक्षा हो। माई धर्म का यह सूत्र है कि पिता तो न्याय है और माता करुणा है ।

माई माया नहीं, शक्ति नहीं, पिता की स्त्री नहीं, हिन्दुओं के पंचायतन देवों में की देवी नहीं, मां काली भी नहीं, ईसाइयों की मां मेरी नहीं, ईश्वर की दासी नहीं, और नहीं जादू विद्या की उपास्य देवी, न वामचार्यों की वामदेवी, और न दैत्यों की नाश करने वाली देवी । ऊपर कहे हुए सब स्वरूप माई के ही है मगर वस्तुता से माई अनन्त प्रेम और करुणा का सागर है और इन सब स्वरूपों

और शक्तियों से परे है । लौकिक माता के स्वरूप में ही मां को सर्वशक्ति मई सर्व व्यापक और सर्वेश्वरी माना जाय और माई भक्तों के लिए तो मां वैसे है जैसे बच्चों को लौकिक माता। माई मानव जाति की जन्मदात्री मां जैसी है क्योंकि वह आदि जन्मदात्री है। माई ईश्वर है, माई सर्वशक्तिमान है, माई सर्वज्ञ और सर्व व्यापक हैं। माईधर्ममें हरिजन अछूत नहीं है, स्त्री पुरुष की दासी नहीं है लेकिन अर्धांगी है और धर्म की निगाह से नरक का द्वार नहीं लेकिन पुरुष की धर्म सहचरी है।

माई धर्म में दूसरे धर्मों के धार्मियों के लिए मलेक्ष काफर या दुर्जन जैसे तिरस्कारिक शब्द नहीं हैं और निर्बल गरीब और निरक्षर की अवस्थाओं के दुरुपयोग की कोई जगह नहीं है अपेन अपने धर्म में रहते हुए कोई भी मनुष्य हिन्द माईमार्गी, जैन माईमार्गी, मुसल्मान माईमार्गी, या क्रिश्चन माईमार्गी बन सक्ता है।

जो मनध्य ईश्वर को नहीं मानता लेकिन जो प्राणीमात्र पर दया भाव और सेवाभावका जीवन जीता है वह भी माईमार्गी है क्योंकि विश्वरूपा यह माई का एक स्वरूप है और उसीका ही यह नास्तिक भक्त है।

माई धर्म की मुख्य मान्यताऐं:

(१) सब धर्मों की एकता (२) मनुष्य मात्र एक बड़े कुटुम्ब का अंग है (३) जातीय अभिमान, देश अभिमान, राष्टीय अभिमान, प्रजाभिमान, वर्णाभिमान से उत्पन्न होते हुए तिरस्कार-वृति वा भेद-वृति को निर्मूल करना ( ४ ) माई के प्रेम, करुणा, भक्ति वा दया पाने के लिए रोज के जीवन में भगिनी भाव वा भ्रातभाव के बर्ताव से जीवन जीना (५) उन्नति के लिये हरेकको अपने मार्ग पसन्द करने की पूर्ण स्वतन्त्रता देना (६) इस माग में आगे बढ़ने के लिए जरूरी वा गैर जरूरी बातों को विचार कर उनकी योग्यता तय करना । (७) धर्मको जुदाई, तिरस्कार, दबाव, बेइन्साफी, संशय और छल वा कपट का कारण नहीं बनाना (८) धर्म के काम में विज्ञान इत्यादि शास्त्र, तर्क बुद्धि, अन्त: करण अनुभव, मनुष्य स्वभाव और हरेक वस्तु स्थिति का अनकूल वा प्रतिकूल संयोग का अनादर न करना (९) अपन को दूसरे से श्रेष्ठ न समझना क्योंकि अपनी श्रेष्ठता मामूली, क्षणिक संयोगवश और अपने अकेले की कमाई की नहीं है। (१०) अपनी चित्त प्रसन्नता को कभी नहीं खोना क्योंकि माई कृपा से कुछ भी अप्राप्य और न सधर सकने जैसा नहीं है । 

माई धर्म के मूलतत्वः- ( १ ) ईश्वर के प्रति मातृभावना

(२) विश्वदृष्टि

साई धर्म के जीवन सूत्र:- (१) यथा शक्ति विश्व प्रेम (२) यथाशक्ति विश्व सेवा (३) माई भक्ति (४) माई शरणागति । सबस बड़ा पाप दसरे को मन बचन कर्न से दुःख पहुचाना है और सबसे बड़ा पुण्य दसेर को धार्मिक उन्नति में सहायता करना है।

माई की मातृभावना का जन्म सन १९३२ में हुआ और माईमूर्ति की स्थापना २-९-३२ को हुई और इस संस्थापना को चिरस्थायी करने के लिये ९-१०-३२ के रोज दशहरे के दिन पुणे में सर्वधर्मी भगिनियों का एक सम्मेलन सख्त परदे में हुआ, जिसमें ३०० से ज्यादा भिन्न भिन्न धर्म की सुशिक्षित बहनों ने शामिल होकर अपने अपने धर्म के अनुसार प्रार्थना की थी। माई की पूजा कितने ही स्थानों में चल रही है और उसका पवित्र माई नाम हजारों मनुष्य जप रहे हैं । माई कृपाके अनेक अत्यन्त आश्चर्यजनक प्रसंगोंके अनुभव हुए है । कितने ही शहरों और ग्रामोंमें माई मन्दिरोंकी स्थापना हुई है । माईके हुक्म होने पर तेरह करोड़ माई नाम जप की लिखित संख्या देखते देखते में हुई है।

सन् १९३३ में सर्व धर्म परिषद् नासिकमें माई धर्मके सिद्धान्त पर व्याख्यान दिये गये थे और सन् १९३५ में नौवीं इण्डियन् फिलासोफीकल कांग्रेस पूनेमें अर्वाचीन संस्कृति और माई मार्गकी विशेषता पर जोरदार निबन्ध पढ़े गये थे।

माई और माईसहस्रनाम नामक ७०० पृष्ठोंके ऊपरका ग्रन्थ छप चुका है जिसमें माई धर्म के सब सिद्धान्त अच्छी तरह से समझाये गये हैं यह तो उसका अंश मात्र है।

माई कपा वृष्टि होने पर पूर्ण दीनतासे मेरा इरादा है कि माईकी यथाशक्ति छोटी मोटी सेवा करना शुरू कर दूं और इस इच्छासे मैंने देशपाण्डे नगर, हुबलीमे माई आश्रमके लिये जमीनका छोटा सा टुकडा खरीद लिया है।

श्रीमंतोंकी सहायतासे आर्थिक मदद मिलने पर माई मार्गियों के लिये निम्नलिखित कार्यक्रमका विचार किया गया है ।

(१) ईश्वर के किसी भी नाम और रूपका, किसी भी भाषामें और कौनसे भी धर्म के संत या भक्तके भजन कीर्तन प्रार्थना करना वा कराना, व्याख्यान करना वा कराना, धार्मिक ग्रन्थोंका ज्ञान फैलानेके लिये क्लासिस् शरू . करना और धार्मिक उन्नति के लिये देशाटन करना चा करवाना ।

(२) स्कूल, कालेजिस्, मसजिद, मंदिर, देवलों और सम्मेलनों में प्रार्थना करना वा करवाना।

(३) साकार अथवा निराकार माई पूजन लोगोंके अनुकूलता अनुसार करना वा कराना।

( ४ ) जातीय धार्मिक अथवा वर्ण के भेद रहित कुटुम्बोंकी बहनों वा भाईयोंकी अथवा मिश्रण प्रार्थना वा सम्मेलन करना वा कराना ।

(८) जातीय, प्रान्तीय वा राष्ट्रीय धार्मिक वा सामाजिक मतभेदोंको दर करना वा कराना और उनके बीच प्रेम सलह और शान्ति कराने का प्रयत्न करना वा कराना ।

(९) कोई भी नामसे, किसी भी धर्म के हस्तगत, किसी भी शहर वा ग्राम में माई मन्दिर माई आश्रम वा माई नगर खोलना वा खुलवाना बांधना और बँधवाना। माई सबका कल्याण करे । माई कृपा सबकी उन्नति करे ।

माई की करुणा सबकी रक्षा करे । माई की आशीश कृपा और दयासे सारा विश्व सुखी समझदार शान्त अहिंसक विश्वष्टि वाला ईश्वरसे डरनेवाला और उसको चाहनेवाला बने।।

माई कृपासे हरेक की व्याधि आपत्ति दोष और न्यूनता मिट जावे । हरेक को सत्य और असत्य, भले और बुरेकी समझ पैदा हो, हरेक उच्च आचार विचारका जीवन जीवे और कोई किसीको हैरान परेशान न करे । दुर्जन सज्जन हो जावे सज्जन सयाना, भक्त मुक्त हो जाये और मुक्त हुई आत्माएँ दूसरों को मुक्त करें।

मां तेरे चरणोंमें शरण आये हुए भक्त जीवात्माको असत्यसे सत्य में अंधकारसे प्रकाशमें और मृत्युसे अमरत्वमें ले जा ।

माई मार्कण्ड प्रेसीडेण्ट और संस्थापक

 माई मार्ग

ॐ श्री जय माई

     प्रार्थना

(1)  मा मुझे अंधकारसे प्रकाशमें ले जा, अज्ञानसे निकालकर ज्ञानके पंथ पर चला दे असत्यसे खैंचकर सत्य की तरफ भेज दे मेरे मृत्यु तुल्य जीवनको अमृत तुल्य बना दे ।

(2) मां तू संतुष्ट होती है तब सारा विश्व संतुष्ट हो जाता है। तु जब प्रसन्न होती है तब सारा विश्व प्रसन्न हो जाता है । मां इसलिये तु मेरे उपर प्रसन्न और संतुष्ट हो जा । 

(3) मां तेरे शरणमें आये हुए दीन बालकोंको आनन्द, शान्ती और निर्भरता प्रदान कर और आपत्ती निवारण तथा विघ्न नाश होनेका वरदान ापने वरद हस्तसे दे दे ।

(4) मां दुनियाको सज्जन बना दे , सज्जनोंको शान्ती दे, जिन्होने शान्तीकी प्राप्ती कर ली है उनके बन्धन तोड दे 

और जो मुक्त हो गये है वे दुसरोंको मुक्त करनेके लिये पूर्ण रुपसे प्रयत्नशील हो । 

(5) मां अपने भक्तोंको रोगसे मुक्त कर आपत्ती और भयसे छुडा दे , शरीर तथा बाहरी उपाधियोंसे मुक्त कर उनको अच्छा क्या है यह सिखा दे ताकि वे पवित्र और भलाईका जीवन जी सके । उनके हरएक कार्यके पीछे विश्व प्रेम और विश्व सेवाका ध्येय रूपी बीज बो दे और अपने भक्तो तथा सब लोगोंको आनंद कराओ ।  

(6) मां तेरे ध्यानका उपदेश करनेवाले भुल जाते है कि तू निराकार है। तेरी स्तुति करनेवाले या गानेवाले भी यह बात भुल जाते है कि तेरा वा तेरी करूणाका वर्णन कर सकनेमे कोई भी समर्थ नही है । तेरे लिये तीर्थाटनका उपदेश करनेवाले बडी भूल कर रहे है क्योंकि तू हर जगह विद्यमान है और भक्तोंके ह्रदयमै तो तेरा वास ही है । मुझमें तो ध्यान भी होनेका नही है और न स्तुती ही होनेकी है और तेरे दर्शनके लिये मै तो अपने बिस्तरसे उठनेवाला भी नही हुं लेकिन तुने एक मां की तरह किस हौशियारीसे उसका बचाव किया और चुप करा दिया , बस इसीसे खुश हो जा । तेरे नालायक लेकिन मुक्ती चाहनेवाले बातूनी पुत्रपर तेरे वात्सल्य भावसे खुश होजा क्यों कि तू मां है न । 

(7) अनेक मांसिक उपाधियों तथा शारीरिक व्याधियोंसे मेरा मन चंचल हो गया है । तेरी भरपूर करूणासे सच्चिदानन्द स्वरूप एक बार दिखा दे कि रोमांच और अश्रु प्रवाहसे सारा दुःख्ख भुल जाउं और जीवनभरके लिये तेरी शरणागतीमें आकर तेरे चरणोंसे लिपट जाउं ।

(8) हे मां, मेरी आत्मा यही कहती है कि सच्चा जीवन तो वही है कि जिससे राग, द्वेश, सांसारिक पामरता , मोहान्धताऔर मुफ्तका मूर्खतावश अपने हाथसे उत्पन्न किये हुए दुःख्ख न हो, और वही सच्चा अनुभव है कि जिसमें दुःख्खीके लिये करूणा और प्राणीमात्रके लिये प्रेम और सेवा भाव हो , इसलिये मां मुझे बस इतना ही दे , मातृ भावना , विश्वदृष्टी, विश्वसेवा, विश्वप्रेम, और तेरी आनन्द भक्ति, प्रसन्नचित्त आशारहित, इच्छारहित तेरे चरणोमें शरणागती । मुझे और कुछ भी नही चाहिये ।

(9) मां तेरा धाम अगम्य है, रास्तेमें परिक्षक बहुत है, विघ्न भी कुछ कम नही है । इसलिये वहा मेरा आना नही होगा । तू मुझे अपने किसी भक्तका दासानुदास बना दे जिसके ह्रदयमें तेरी तस्वीर वराजमान हो और तेरी तस्वीरकी अत्यन्त सुगमतासे मै भक्ति कर सकूं । मां, भीख मांगनेवाले बेशर्म होते है, मांगनेवाला भूल जाय, तिस पर तेरी जैसी मांकी दृष्टी पडे तो फिर मेरे ह्रदयमेंही विराज हो जा न, ताकि दुसरे भक्तोंकी खोजही खतम हो जाय । 

(10) मां, तू दयाका सागर है, दयाकी मूर्ति है, तेरी आंखोसे दयाका स्त्रोत बह रहा है, तेरे ह्रदयकी एक एक कणमें करूणा भरी हुई है । तेरे निकट अाकर भिक्षा न मांगू तो तेरे चरण छोडकर और कहा मैं जाउं ? 

(11) मां, तीर्थयात्रा, तप, दान, पुण्य और यज्ञ जो कुछ भी मैने किया हुआ है, मै समझता हूं वह सब तेरे स्मरण और नाम जपके प्रभावसेही किया हुआ है । तू मेरा सर्वस्व है , सबकुछ तेरी ईच्छाके आधीन है । तू सारे विश्वका रक्षण करनेवाली है तो फिर मुझे तेरी कृपा प्राप्त करनेके सिवाय और क्या करना होगा ? 

(12) यह विश्व चालनेवाली महान परम शक्ति तेरी है, विश्वको आधार देनेवाली शक्ति तेरी करूणासे एैसा करनेमे समर्थ है। परम शांती, परम सुख और परम आनंद तेरे चरणोमेंही है । पुर्णताको प्राप्त भक्तगण तेरीही करूणा कथा गाते है । संसार आसक्तीसे मुक्ति दिलानेवाली , मुक्तिके ध्येयसे प्रीती करानेवाली, सिध्द मार्ग दिलानेवाली, गुरूका मिलाप करा देनेवाली, उसकी कृपा प्राप्त करा देनेवाली, मुक्ति और भुक्ति दोनोही प्राप्त करा देनेवाली है । इस प्रकारके तुझे एैसे नामोंसे, पूर्णत्वको पहुंचे हुए ( भक्त, योगीजन ) घोषित करते है कि तू मुक्ति और भुक्ति प्रदायिनी है और शीघ्र प्रसाद देनेवाली है ।

(13 ) मां तु ब्रह्मस्वरुपिणी है, तु परमज्योती है, तु सब विद्याकी देनेवाली है । अगर तेरी करूणा न हो तो सारा विश्व निस्तेज , र्निवीर्य तथा निर्जीव बन जायेगा । तेरी करूणाको कोई नही जान सकता ।

(14) मां दसो दिशाओमें मुझे अंधकार, अज्ञान, मोह, पश्चाताप और मृत्युके सिवा और कुछ भी नही दिख रहाहै । मै चारो तरफसे, घेरा हूआ घबराया हूआ हूं , मेरी आखोंके सामने अंधेरा छा जाता है । मेरे पुरूषार्थके या विश्वकी किसी भी व्यक्तिसे आशाकी एक भी किरणसे अब मेरा जादा जीना नही हो सकता । तेरी अपनी करूणा और अपने प्रकाशके सिवाय मेरा उध्दार नही हो सकता । इसलिये अब तूही अपने हजारो सूर्यों जैसे ज्ञानका प्रकाश मुझपर फैला दे, हजार मेघराज जैसी करूणाकी वर्षा मुझपर कर ।

(15) मां तू सच्चिदानंद है इसलिये तू आनंद देनेवाली है और तू इस आनंदके उस पार है । तू भेदसे परे, गुणोंसे परे तथा तथा इच्छाओंसे परे है । मुझे मेरे तरह तरह के भेद, तरह तरह के गुण दोष तथा नाना प्रकारकी इच्छओं अभिलाषाओं वासानओंसे छुडा दे । ज्ञान, विद्या, साधना, सिध्दी सबका केन्द्र तेरी करूणा मात्र है, वह करूणा एकबार मुझपर करा दे ।

(16) हे मां, मेरा चंचल मन, हजारो तर्क वितर्क प्रलोभन और भयसे, मुझे नचा रहा है । संशयोंने मुझे व्यस्त कर दिया है । मुझे सतानेवाले इन संशय तथा अश्रध्दा रूपी राक्षस और राक्षसणीयों का पराजय कर, उनकी और मेरी मित्रता करा दे जिससे मुझे वे बुरे मार्गमें न ले जावे ,भले सभी आनंद क्यौ न करे। उन सबका विध्वंस करनेको मै तुझे नही कह रहा हूं , मुझसे वे छेडछाड न करे तो बस - एैसी कृपा मुझपर कर ।

(17) हे मां, मुझे गुरूकी सेवा करने दे, गुरू और शिष्यकी ग्रन्थी जोड दे । गुरू एैसा हो कि जो भेदसे परे हो, जो हमेशा भगवद् भाव जीवन जी रहा हो और जिसे शत्रु और मित्र समान हो, जिसका जीवनमात्र तेरी भक्तीका स्वरूप हो, जिसका काम सिर्फ यथाशक्ति अुकूलता अनुसार तथा योग्य लोगोंका कल्याण तथा उध्दार करनेवाला हो , जिसके दर्शन मात्रसे और जिसके उपदेशसे, जिसकी दृष्टी पडनेसे ही संसारिक पामरता का रोग मिट जाय ( एैसे गुरूकी सेवा करनेको मुझे वह मिल जाय ) । 

(18) हे मां, तेरे भक्तोंके लिये न कोई मित्र है न कोई शत्रु, न कोई भाग्यवान है न कोई भाग्यहीन, न कोई पापी है न कोई पुण्यवान, तेरे भक्तोंके स्पर्शसे सबका कल्याण हो जाता है। और अमरतत्व तो तेरी आखोंसे निकलती हुई करूणाकी एक बिंदुका छाया मात्र है । एक बार तो मुझे तेरे मुख देखनेका सोभाग्य प्राप्त करा दे कि तेरी करूणासे मै तर जाउं ।

(19) हे मां तू सारे जगतका काम लेकर बैठी है जिस तिसको उनके कर्मोंका फल दे रही है , अपने भक्तोंको समृध्दी देकर उनको अपनी तरफ धीरे धीरे आकर्षीत कर रही है । वासना और कर्म तथा उनके उपभोग  जो परंपरासे चले आते है उनका मूलोच्छेद कर उनसे मुझे छुडा दे क्योंकि इनका अन्तही नही होता । पूर्ण सुख तथा उनके हकपर पानी फेर देना और सुख तथा पुण्य सबकुछ निःष्काम बुध्दीसेतेरे चरणोमें समर्पित कर दूं एैसी बुध्दी प्रदान कर और एैसे जीवन जीनेकी अनुकुलता दे । मेरे सुख तथा उपभोग रूपी रस्सीयां तेरे हाथमे सौंप देनेकी मुझे अक्कल दे ।

(20) मां तू भक्तवत्सल है, तू करूणाका सागर है, अत्यंत कोमल अति मधुर तथा सौंदर्यकी मूर्ति है । मै सुख दुःख्खके लिये नही रोता , प्रारब्धमें जो कुछ होगा वह सब भोगनेको तैयार हुं लेकिन एक बार तेरे दर्शन कराकरसुधिबुध्दी भुल जानेका अवसर मुझे दे।

(21) मां मुझे कुछ नही चाहिये ।न धन, न स्नेहीजनो,न सेवक सेविकाओं, न मित्र न सखी, न काव्यालापसे विनोद करनेवाली प्रेमी पत्नी,न कला कौशल, न काव्यरस, न कथारस, न उत्तम भोजनविलास तथा वैभव , बस एक ही वर दे देकि जन्म जन्ममे मै तेरी निष्काम अहैतुकी भक्ती किया करूं ।

(22) मां मेरे ह्रदय तथा स्वभावसेक्षणिक मिथ्या तथा निरर्थक संसारके सुखोंके लिये वासना, तृष्णा तथा मोहिनी दूर कर दे।

(23) मां  तूही मेरी मां है तूही पिता है तूही पति है तूही पुत्र है तूही सखी और तूही मित्र है । तूही स्नेही तूही गुरु है और तूही प्राप्तव्य है मै तेरा हूं तेराही अपना हूं मुझे जैसा ही गिनना हो गिन लेना। मै तेरे दासोंका भी दास हूं। मेरा आश्रय सिर्फ तेरे चरणोंमे है , मै अपना सारा बोझ तेरे उपर छोड देता हूं ।  

(24) मां तू अनाथोंकी मददगार है, पवित्र ईश्वरी प्रेम और करूणाका अपार सागर है। मै तो अनेक प्रकारके अनन्य पापोंका भण्डार हूं। मेरे पापो तथा अनिष्टोंका बल मेरेसे कम होनेका नही है और इनका अंत भी नही होता और उनके प्रलोभनके सामने मै ठहर भी नही सकता। मेरेमें जाती संस्कार नही शिष्टाचार नही आज्ञापालन नही और गुरू सेवा भी नही है । तेरे भक्तोंके सामने मै तो एक दो पैरोंका पशुही हूं । यह सबकूछ है और इसको मै बखूबी जानता भी हूं । लेकिन इन सबको होते हुए भी न मालूम मै क्यों निर्भय हो गया हूं और अपने भविष्यके संबंधमें लापरवाह हो गया हूं। इसका कारण यही है कि मै तेरे हजारो भक्तोंसे यह सुन चुका हूं कि तेरी शरणमें आनेवाला कभी निराश होकर वापिस नही जाता ।

(25) मां मुझे देहका सुख, लंबी आयु, नाना प्रकारके भोग जिसके लिये मनुक्ष्य जी रहे है और दौडा दौड कर रहे है , नही चाहिये । मुझे आत्मज्ञान और ब्रह्मज्ञान भी नही चाहिये। मुझे तो सिर्फ तेरा नित्य समागम और नित्य सेवा करना हमेशाके लिये मिल जाय, तो बस इतना कर न मां ।    

(26) मां मुझे तेरी जैसी करूणाकी मूर्ति दूसरी नही मिलेगी और तुझे मुझ जैसा, तेरा कारूण्यमय होनेका पूर्ण रीतीसे जाननेवाला,व्यक्ति नही मिलेगा । तेरीही करूणासे सुदैव योगसेतेरी करूणाका महात्म्य जाननेके इरादेसेनिकली हुई मेरी नांव किनारे तक पहुंच चुकी है उसको डुबोना मत ।

(27) मां इस विश्वमें मुझसे जादा नालायक तुझे ढूंढनेपर भी नही मिलेगा। जैसे जैसे तेरी करूणा मेरे उपर होती जाती है तैसे मेरी भी उन्नती होती है लेकिन तेरी करूणा किसका क्या बना सकती है यह जाननेकी इच्छातेरे भक्तोमें कम होती जा रही है और इसके साथ साथ तेरी करूणाका प्रमाण भी कम होता जा रहा है। इसलिये करूणाकी धोडीसे बूंदीसे नही लेकिन अखण्ड वर्षा कर दे । करूणाकी एक जबरदस्त लहरसे मेरे जीवनको डुबो दे ।

(28) मां तेरे चरणकमलके प्रेमकी एक चिनगारी सांसारिकताके एक घने जंगलको भस्म करनेके लिये काफी है । एैसी एक चिनगारी मेरे ह्रदयमें जला दे जिससे मै इस जन्म जन्मांतरके फेरसे छूट जाउं और तेरी भक्ती और परमानंदमें विलीन हो जाउं । 

(29) मां , धर्ममें मेरी निष्ठा नही हैआत्माका मुझे कुछ भी ज्ञान वा होश नही है तरी भक्तीभी नही है तेरे चरणकमलकी महिमा भी नही जानता । मेरे पास पहलेकी इकठ्ठी की हुई कोई पुण्य कमाई भी नही है और तेरे सिवा कोई मुझे रखनेवाला भी नही है, यह स्पष्ट सत्य है जो मैने तुझे कह दिया । अब तुझे जो कुछ करना है सो कर । 

(30) मां मैने जो कुछ भी किया है, कर रहा हुं या करूंगा , वह सब मैने कह दिया तू सब कुछ करती है और करेगी । मै कुछ भी करनेवाला नही हूं । इसलिये इन सबका फलभोग तू ही करेगी मै नही , इसके होते हुए भीमुझसे कुछ भी करानेकी आज्ञा करनी है कर ले और उस तरहसे मुझसे काम करा ले ।

(31) हे मां, शरीरसे, भाषासे, मनसे, इन्द्रियोंसे, बुध्दीसे, आत्मासे, प्रकृतीसे, स्वभावसे, शब्दसे, विचारसे, कर्मसे , समझसे या बिना समझे जो कुछ मै करता हुं वह सब तेरे चरणमेम समर्पित कर देता हूं ।

(32) हे मां, मै हजारो अपराध करता हूं, किये है और करूंगा , फिर फिरके परंपरासे अनेक जन्मजन्मांतरोंमे भटकूंगा । मै निराधार हूं मेरे लिये क्या उपाय है वह भी मुझे मालुम नही इसलिये तो भूला भटका तेरे द्वारतकपहुंच गया हुं । मुझे अपना बना लें ।

(33) मां मुझे स्वर्गमें रख या पृध्वीपर , नरकमें भेज दे या पितरलोकमें, तुम्हे जो ठीक लगे वह कर लेकिन मेरी मान्यता तो एक ही है कि जिस जगह तेरे चरणकमलोंका स्मरन सदा बना रहे वह नरक हो तो भी वह स्वर्गही हैऔर जहां यह स्मरण भूल जाय वह स्वर्ग हो तो भी नरककें समान है ।

(34) मां मुझे शास्त्रोमें तथा पण्डितोंके दिये हुए उपदेशसे कल्याण होता है इस बातमें श्रध्दा नही है । संसारी कुटुंबिक कहे जानेवाले धर्मजो असलमें मोह के फन्दे है लेकिन जिनको अपने भाई बन्धु और संबंधी अपने स्वारथके लियेबडा स्वरूप दे देते है और मनुष्यता को पामरमें सदाके लिये डुबो देते है । श्रीमंत होनेसे सुख मिलेगा इस बातमें भी श्रध्दा नही है इस बातकी मान्यता वा विश्वास नही है कि भोगसे सुख वा आनंद मिलेगा । मेरे प्रारब्धके अनुकूल होना होगा होकर रहेगा । मेरी सिर्फ एक इच्छा है कि सब कामों में, सब संयोगो में , और सब अवस्थाओमें मेरे ह्रदयमें तेरे चरण कमलोंके प्रति जो थोडा बहुत झूठा सच्चा प्रेमका अंकर पैदा हो गया है, वह कुचल न जाय, बस इतना जो तू करे तो मुझ जैसे नालायकके लिये बहुत है ।  

(35) मां मुझे वैभव की इच्छा नही लक्ष्मीकी इच्छा नही ज्ञानी वा पंडित होनेकी भी इच्छा नही विद्या या मन्त्रसिध्दीकी भी इच्छा नही है । शरीरकी  इच्छा वा मुक्तीकी इच्छा भी नही है । सिर्फ इतनी भिक्षा मांग लेता हूं कि तेरा और तेरे भक्तोंका नामस्मरण मेरी जीभ वा ह्रदयसेएक क्षणके लिये भी दूर न हो ।

(36) मां तेरे कई हजार भक्त है लेकिन मेरे जैसा नालायक तुझे ढूंढनेपर भी नही मिलेगा । लेकिन यह बात कैसी भी क्यों न हो नालायक क्यों न हो सांसारिक माता भी एैसी संतानका त्याग नही कर सकती फिर तू तो सारे विश्वकी अनेककोटिब्रह्माण्डजननी ठहरी । तेरेसे यह बात होनी असंभव है इसी आशा पर मै अपना जीवन जी रहा हूं ।   

(37) मां मुझे तेरे अनन्त नामोंकी खबर नही और न तेरे अनन्त स्वरूपोंकी खबर है। तुझे प्रसन्न करनेवाले जप और पाठोंकी भी खबर नही है । मंत्रकाभी ज्ञान नही है तेरी मूर्तिऔर उसके पूजनकी विधी की भी खबर नही है। तेरी प्रार्थना और स्तुती कैसे और कि शब्दोमें की जाती है यह भी नही जानता । तेरा आवाहन किस प्रकार करूं यह भी नही जानता तो ध्यान की बातही क्या करू  । मेरा दुःख्ख तेरी करूणासे दूर कर दे यह बात किस तरह तेरे आगे रखू और गाउं यह भी तो नही सूझता, लेकिन एक बात जानता हूं जो बहुतसे तेरे भक्त कह गये हैकि तेरा स्मरण किसी तरहसे भी हो कल्याण ही करता है । 

(38) हे मां पारसमणि लोहेको सोना बना देती है । गटरका गंदा पानी गंगाजलमें मिल जानेसे गंगाजलकी तरह उसका आचमन लेकर तीर्थ यात्रा करनेवाले स्नान कर पवित्र हो जाते है । तो मै कैसा भी पापी वा अपवित्र क्यो नही हूं तेरे चरणोंके स्पर्शसेपापमुक्त और पवित्र नही हो जाउंगा ? और अनेक जन्मोंके अगणित पापोंसे मलीन और कलुषित मेरा ह्रदय क्यों सा्तविक और प्रेमी न बन जायेगा ? 

(39) मां इस जगतके सारे जंजाल तुह्मारे छुडानेसे छूट सकते है अन्यथा नही । जड और चैतन्यके संसर्गमें आनेसे जो मोह उत्पन्न होता है उसके प्रति तू क्षणमात्रमें वैराग्य पैदा कर सकती है , कर्ता और करानेवाली तू हैसब बाजी तेरे हाथमें है , भोग देनेवाली और भोगनेवाली भी तूही है । मेरे लिये तो पाप भी नही और पुण्य भी नही है , मेरे लिये तो बन्धन भी नही है और मोक्ष भी नही है ।

(40) हे मां मेरी इन्द्रीयोंको कब संयममें लायेगी ? मित्र और शत्रुके प्रती मेरे राग द्वेश प्रेम तिरस्कार से कब मुक्ती करेगी ? झूठी आशाए और बुध्दी जिस मोहिनी शक्तीसे मारी जाती है उसके फन्देसे मुझे कब छुडावेगी ? पापोंसे जर्जरीत हो गया हुआ मेरा मन कब शुध्द और सात्विक बनाएगी ? 

(41) मां शिवको जीव बनानेवाली है और्‍ जीवको शिव बबनानेवाली  तु है ।सब तेरीही लीला है तो फिर एक यह भी लीला कर दे न । यह नालायक भी तेरे चरणोंका प्रसाद पाकर शिव बन जाय ।

  (42) मां कोई  भी पुण्यकाम करना मैं नही सिखा और तीरथ यात्राके महात्यको भी मै नही जानता । भक्तिका मार्ग मैने सुना नही है । तेरे माई प्रेममें मेरी निष्ठा नही है और अपने अहंभाव और महत्वको किस तरह भूल जाउं इसपर मैने कभी विचार ही नही किया है ।यह सबकुछ मैने तेरी अचिंत्य कृपा और करूणापरही छोड दिया है ।

(43) मां दान और सखावत करनेके लिये साधन नही है ।ध्यान विधी मुझसे होती नही । स्तुतिके नाम जप किसी तरह बोल देनेकी होशियारी मुझमें नही है । पूजा करनेको मन नही करता है । आत्म निरीक्षण से अपने चरित्र सुधारनेकी कोशीश मुझसे होती नही । तो मां बोल मेरा क्या करना है ? 

(44) मां वेदांती भले बडी बडी बात बनावे कि समुद्र और तरंग एक ही है । यह सिर्फ मर्यादाके अर्थमें ठीक है और किसी खास तौरपर माननेकी इच्छा है तो एैसा माननेमें कोई हरज भी नही है । लेकिन सिर्फ एक बात अन्धेको समझाने जैसी है कि समुद्रसे तरंग निकलती है, न कि तरंगसे समुद्र । तेरे चरणोमें अनेक कोटी भक्त और ब्रह्माण्ड समा जाते है, तू भक्तो और ब्रह्माण्डेमें समाकर लय नही हो जाती ।

(45)  हे मां, मेरे अविनय और अहम को दूर कर मेरे मनको शान्त बना दे । इन्द्रियोंका दमन कर विषयभोगकी मृगजल समान तष्णाको शान्त कर दे। मनुष्य मात्र तथा प्राणीमात्रके प्रती मेरि करूणा और दयाकी उन्नती करऔर मुझे संसारसागरसे पार कर दे ।

(46) जैसा एक एक दिन गुजरता है वैसे आयु भी कम होती जाती है और जवानीकी कार्यशक्तीयां भी निर्बल हो जाती है ।जितने दिन बीत गये तो गये कालके मुखमें सारा जगत समा जाता है । धन दौलत, भाई बन्धु, स्नेही मित्र और संबंधी सभी, जो क्षण क्षणमें बदलते रहते है, थोडेमें खुश और थोडेमें नाराज पानीकी लहरोंकी तरह घडीमें उमड आनेवाली और घडीमें गुम जानेवाली है । जीवन शक्ती एैसे बह रही है जैसे सुराख किये हुए घडेसे पानीकी धारा बह रही हो । मनुष्य जन्मका सार्थक बनानेका मौका बिजलीकी तरह आता और जाता रहता है । मनुष्य जन्म कबपानीके बबूलेकी तरह फटकर गुम हो जाय इसका एक क्षणका भी भरोसा नही है ।इसलिये तूही मेरी रक्षा कर और मुझे अपनी शरणमे ले ले ।    

  (47) हे मां , विश्वमें तूही विश्वरूपिणी नामसे व्याप्त है, सारे जगतको तुही ज्ञानरूपिणी नामसे ज्ञानका प्रकास दे रही है , आनंदरुपी नामसे तू ही आनंदमयी होकर सारे जगतको आनंदीत कर रही है । सच्चिदानंदरूपिणी बनकर तूही अस्तित्व विद्या और आनंदकी बाढ लाती है । अत्यन्त उग्र तपस्या अत्यंत क्लेशसाधना योग तथा शास्त्रोंके उत्तमसे उत्तम ज्ञान से भी न प्राप्त होनेवाली लेकिन अपने भक्तोंकी तुच्छ मेहनतसे उनपर पुर्ण अनुग्रह करनेवाली तेरी करूणाको मेरे अनेक प्रणाम है ।    

(48) हे मां, मेरी आत्मा वही तू मेरी त्रिपुरसंदरी हैवही तू मेरी सहचरीकी तरह ही है । मेरे पंचप्राण वह तेरी सेवामें सौंपा हुआ यह दासानुदास ही है । मेरा शरीर वही तेरा मंदीर है , मेरा उपभोग ही तेरा नैवेद्य है, मेरी निद्रा तेरा ध्यान है, मेरा कही भी भटकना तेरी प्रदक्षिणा है , मै जो कुछ भी बोलता हूं वह तेरी स्तुती है , मै जो कुछ भी करता हुं वह सब अपनी भक्ती और पूजन समान ग्रहण कर ले । 

(49) हे मां, तू अपने सभी भक्तोंका कुशल और क्षेम निभाती है । अपने भक्तोंके कल्याणकी सारी चिन्ता तूही करती है ।इस लोक तथा परलोककी सिध्दीयां कैसे सिध्द करनी उसकी सूचना देनेवाली सिखानेवाली तथा सिध्दी करा देनेवाली तू है, बारह लोकोमें तू ही व्याप्त है , चर और अचर सभीमें तू व्याप्त है। तू सब प्रकारके ज्ञान देनेवाली है। तू करूणाका सागर है तू ही सबप्रकारके सुख देनेवाली है, मुझे तुझसे कुछ भी मांगनेकी जरूरत नही है । तू जिस वक्त जिस चीजकी जरूरत हो वह दे दे ले ले, तूझे जो कुछ भी करना है वह कर। मै तेरे द्वार पर धरना देकर बैठा हुं । 

(50) हे मां तेरे चरणोंका मै पूजन करता हूं और तेरे मुखारविंदका मै ध्यान करता हूं  । अपने ह्रदयमें तेरी शरणागतीको स्थापित करता हूं अपनी वाणीको तेरी प्रार्थना,और कीर्तनमें लगाता हूं । मुझसे जितना हो सकता है वह सब कुछ करता हूं , इससे जादा मुझसे नही हो सके तो इसमें मै क्या करू ? एक बार देवताओको भी दुर्लभ तू ापना करूण कटाक्ष मेरे उपर डाल ताकि मेरा मन भी शान्त हो जाय और मै तेरी भक्ती करनेके लिये लायक बन जाउं ।

(51) है मां तू दुखियोंका दुख दूर करनेवाली और अनाथोंकी आशाएं पूरी करनेवाली है । और मै सिर्फ दुखी ही नही अनाथ भी हूं । अपने उपर करूणा प्राप्त करानेकी योग्यतामें अभी क्या क्या कमी और बाकी है कह दे । किसी बातमें भी मेरे नालयकीमें अभी कुछ कसर बाकी हो तो कह दे , तो वह कमी भी पूरी कर दूं ताकि तेरी करूणाकी प्राप्तीकी लायकताके लिये, मै लायकोंमेसे अव्वल नंबरका लायक बन जाउं एैसी करूणा कर दे मां । 

(52) हे मां मेरे जैसा कोई दूसरा दयाका पात्र नही है और तेरी जैसी कोई दूसरी दयामयी नही है। तीनो लोकोमें तेरा सिवाय मेरा उध्दार करनेवाला और कोई नही कोई नही है । मै तुझे पुकार पुकारकर कह रहा हूं कि इतनी देरी किसलिये और क्यों कर रही हो ।    

 (53) हे करूणाकी मूर्ति मां मेरे शरीरसे, मनसे , वाणीसे, हाथ पैर आंख कानमें से  किसीसे भी हो गये हुए पापोंको मुझे क्षमा दे दे कि जिससे नया मन, नया शरीर, नया ह्रदय, नया जीवनसब कुछ तेरे दर्शन करनेक बादनया नया हो जावे और पुराना जितना भी है वो जाता रहे । 

(54) मां इतनी लडाइयां लडा मुहं फार फार कर मांग रहा हुं तब भी क्या तू करूणाकी वर्षा न करेगी ? न करेगी तो मेरे पास था क्या जो बिगड जायेगा , मगर तेरी वात्सल्य भावना दयालुता और करूणामय कीर्तिको धक्का लगेगा और दुनियावालोंका विश्वास जाता रहेगा । 

(55) हे मां दान कृपा और करूणा करनेका समय भी घडी घडी नही आता फिर तू तो बडी दानेश्वरी है और यही विचार तेरे मनमें घुमा करता हैकि कोई मांगे कोई मांगे लेकिन तेरेसे कोइभी नही मांगता अगर मनुष्योमें तुझसे मांगनेकी बुध्दी होती तो कोई भी दुःख्खी न होता।मै भीकारी तेरे द्वारपर आया हूं और फिर मेरी तो यह टेक है कि तेरे सिवाय दुसरे किसीसे नही मांगना। इसलिये एक बार तो मेहेरबान हो जा और अपनी भक्ती दे दे , जिससे फिरसे तेरेसे मांगना ही मीट जाएऔर तेरे पास हर वक्त चक्कर लगाती परेशान करनेवाली यह पीडा दुर हो जाए । मेरे पल्ले एक बार अपनी भक्ती बांध देकि यह पीडा हमेशाके लिये मीट जाय ।

ॐ शांती शांती शांती ।
