The Mother has herself spoken about what Her blessings mean.
‘My child,
My blessings are with you to widen and purify your consciousness so that peace may always be within you.
*
My blessings are always there to awaken you, but you must want to make use of them.
*
Blessings are a manifestation of the divine grace, in favour of an individual or a collectivity.
*
My love and blessings are with you. Understand that blessings are for the best spiritual result, not necessarily according to human wishes.
*
My blessings are very dangerous. They cannot be for this one or for that one or against this person or against that thing. It is for… or, well, I will put it in a mystic way:
It is for the Will of the Lord to be done, with full force and power. So it is not necessary that there should always be a success. There might be a failure also, if such is the Will of the Lord. And the Will is for the progress, I mean the inner progress. So whatever will happen will be for the best.’
(Ref. https://incarnateword.in/cwm/13/blessings)
In simple words blessings, in the instance of marriage, are meant to help us progress together towards greater and greater heights of progress. It is to activate our true destiny. They are not meant, as we often believe, to make our life ‘happy hereafter’ regardless of what we do or do not do. Blessings are never an encouragement to laziness but a spur towards truth.
Naturally, if we refuse to align with truth, then the consequences can be much harder than in a life of ignorance, where we live in the shadows of falsehood. It is an invitation to lead a life of purity and truth, of sincerity and harmony, towards which the Blessings come as a tremendous help.
Affectionately,
