In the lines –‘Almost that day the epiphany was disclosed Of which our thoughts and hopes are signal flares;’, What exactly is this epiphany🙂?

The revelation of the New Manifestation that is hinted in our thoughts and hopes of a beautiful diviner life.

The omniscient Goddess leaned across the breadths

That wrap the fated journeyings of the stars

And saw the spaces ready for her feet.

I am thinking this Goddess is Savitri herself. Or is it more a reference to Divine Mother who will incarnate as Savitri? Also, it is said here that the spaces were ‘ready for her feet’ but we soon find that ‘Only a little the god-light can stay’ and that ‘The excess of beauty natural to god-kind

Could not uphold its claim on time-born eyes;’. How was that it all looked ready for the goddess but turned out that she was not received well and had to go back?

It is the Divine Mother preparing for her advent. The spaces are the layers of consciousness ready to hold her power.

The power comes but is unable to stay for long. The readiness is the receiving part. The inability to stay is the incapacity of material life and matter based existence to hold the Divine Power for long (having received it). Man is too small and weak and unable to contain the Light for long. He receives, but after a while all turns back into the routine mechanical existence.

Affectionately,

“Follow your passion” some people say. I am stuck a little. I have a broad direction in which I want my life to develop — in service of the nation. At the same time, the scope of different careers is so wide that I don’t know what is best for me! A part of me wants to study something very practical which will enable me to realise this vision even if I don’t like the subject in and of itself (for example, studying finance). Another part of me wants me to do something that I would intrinsically enjoy studying (for example, music or history). However, I doubt whether choosing this path will enable me to develop the skills or knowledge that will be of much use when it comes to making impactful change in society. Can you suggest how I can develop clarity on this? I definitely agree with people who say that you can only succeed in and be happy doing something that you feel passionate about. But isn’t this idea slightly overrated? Shouldn’t one be able to enjoy and succeed in whatever one does, no matter what it is? Even if it’s not something one enjoyed doing as a child or doesn’t have a natural predisposition towards😠?

We should first differentiate between what we are naturally drawn towards by our innate temperament and predilection. It is more of an inborn inclination whose indications are an inborn capacity and enthusiasm. Passion …

Few days back there was an incident in Baroda when a youth has consumed substances and crashed his car, when he came out of the car he did not even realise what had happened, videos have come of completely intoxicated and shouting, in all this a young person died, now i am asking from other side, i have read somewhere, Ma says that there are no accidents so then what about the person who died with no fault of his? how can one console his family😰?

The Mother says that the cause of accidents is unconsciousness. We call it accident and mean by the word that it is something that is
