July 10, 2019 = To be near me

The eternal Goddess moved in her cosmic house

Sporting with God as a Mother with her child:

To him the universe was her bosom of love,

His toys were the immortal verities.

All here self-lost had there its divine place.

Sri Aurobindo

Savitri, Book III, Canto III, page 327

To be near me

In order to be always near me really and effectively you must become more and more sincere, open and frank towards me. Cast away all dissimulation and decide to do nothing that you could not tell me immediately.

**********

Do only what you could do before me without feeling embarrassed, say only what you could repeat to me without difficulty.

**********

Be very sincere and straightforward, harbour nothing within yourself which you cannot show me without fear, do nothing which you would be ashamed of before me.

**********

Try to be spontaneous and simple like a child in your relations with me — it will save you from many difficulties.

**********

Be simple,

Be happy,

Remain quiet,

Do your work as well as you can,

Keep yourself always open towards me —

This is all that is asked from you.
