Mother does what she wants to always and we are mere instruments in Her Hands.
During Swami Vivekananda's visit to Kashmir he visited Khir Bhawani a temple dedicated to the Divine Mother. The temple was in shambles and poorly maintained. Swamiji was upset and resolved that he would build a beautiful temple for the Divine Mother. At that very time He heard a voice that said (not sure of the exact words but the jist was)"If I want, I can create a temple of gold right now. Do you take care of me or do I take care of you"
It is always good to remember Mother takes care of all of us including this courtyard.
RE: "Mother does what she wants to always and
we are mere instruments in Her Hands."
Beautiful words!
The Master said:
"The Divine Mother is always playful and sportive.
This universe is Her play. She is self-willed and must always
have Her own way. She is full of bliss. She gives freedom
to one out of a hundred thousand."
-also-
"Is it possible to understand
God's action and His motive?
He creates, He preserves, and He destroys.
Can we ever understand why He destroys?
I say to the Divine Mother: 'O Mother,
I do not need to understand.
Please give me love for Thy Lotus Feet'.
The aim of human life is to attain bhakti.
As for other things, the Mother knows best."
-again-
"You know I am a fool. I know nothing.
Then who is it that says all these things?
I say to the Divine Mother:
'O Mother, I am the machine and Thou art the Operator.
I am the house and Thou art the indweller.
I am the chariot and Thou art the Charioteer.
I do as Thou makest me do. I speak as Thou makest me speak;
I move as Thou makest me move. It is not I !
It is all Thou ! It is all Thou !'
Hers is the glory; we are only Her instruments."
