AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Why does God snatch something that we hold so dear to us? How can I understand God?🙄

Asked by a 33 year old

God does not snatch anything nor does He want to play a spoilsport and make us unhappy. Suffering comes to everyone because we do not know the right way to live. We are attached to things and people which by their nature do not last or even if they remain, the joy we get from them passes away. This is the fate of all earthly life until we turn away from transient joys and seek lasting truths and permanent source of joy. Pain and suffering invariably come to remind us that the joys we are experiencing is limited and imperfect. This is meant to spur us to seek the Permanent. Indeed suffering comes to open an inner door for us and if we use the moment and the opportunity then we can discover the permanent Source and Joy within us.

Affectionately,

While reading The Sunlit Path, I came across the Mother’s statement that ‘Reason must be the Master’ and that Reason is developed by using it. I’m unsure about what she exactly mean by ‘Reason’ in this context🤔.

Also, what kind of habits or inner attitudes can I cultivate so that reason becomes an active, guiding force in life.

She means governing life with the help of reason, disciplining the vital so that it does not run around like a wild horse pulled by all kinds of impulses. It means being reasonable rather than be driven by fancies and desires. It…
