“My child, you have been extremely fortunate in getting this human birth. Have intense devotion to God. One must work hard. How can one achieve anything without effort? One must devote some time for prayer even in the midst of one’s household duties…In the fullness of spiritual realization, one will find that He who resides in one’s heart, resides in the hearts of others as well-the oppressed, the persecuted, the untouchable and the outcast. This realization makes one truly humble. …My child, this mind is just like a wild elephant. It races with the wind. Therefore one should discriminate all the time. One should work hard for the realization of God.”
(p.60-1, The Gospel of Holy Mother, Holy Mother’s advice to a devotee on 4th September 1918)
