Dear friends, It is a nice letter Amit ji has forwarded to us. It reassures us the ever presence of Mother, her love and care for us. We have nothing to worry. It is very difficult to realise this fact as we are still bound by the ego. But for those who are aspirants, there are always moments when the truth seems to glimmer through the subconscious state of mind and that is when for a moment we realise the ever present glory of the divinity within. When we listen to good words, contemplate on good thoughts and practice good deeds , the mind is in a better shape. But again on the opposite, at least for me, those moments are very few and restricted. It is all about giving mind a proper training to think good and holy. So I think we need to really read and re-read such letters and words to constantly keep us motivated and surrendered. We all have seen our very own lives how Mother makes wonders. True that She gives us happy moments and tru that She provides us with miseries and pains. But we need to know and be assured that all is Her nothing is ours not even our wishes. Jai Ma Samudra

Dear Friends, Jai Sri Ramakrishna I copied one letter from Mokshaprana Mataji's book. You may like reading it. Amit --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 27.6.96 My Dear -----, I duly received your letter dated 7th. Mysterious are the ways of God !We do not know why the Holy Mother plays with us. Patiently go on calling on Her. She has placed you variously in this world; as if conducting an examination. Do not lose hope, hold on to Her firmly. In this transient world She alone is our own – She is the reality. Try to feel Her presence ever in your heart and experience real peace and joy. Hope by now you have come back to Trichur. May the departed soul of your younger sister rest in peace. Hope her daughter also has come back to Calcutta. Sri Sri Ma has relieved your sister from her physical sufferings and given her shelter on Her lap. The demise of Dhiraprana is indeed a great loss to our Sangha. The void that she has left behind would be felt by everyone who knew her. Remember that Sri Sri Ma is sitting there with her divine glory and love. Try to continue your duties depending on Her. May She guide you always. She is always with you. She said ,“If a thorn pricks your foot , it hurts me like a spear piercing my heart.’ So, She always feels your pains, She does not remain indifferent to your difficulties. ‘Misery is truly a gift of God’. May Sri Sri Ma make your mind calm and quiet. May you have peace of mind through Her grace.’ With my heartfelt love and blessings, Yours affectionately, Mokshaprana
