Message of the Day - (Don't Use Divine as a Cloak to Hide Desires) - May 22, 2012

Sri Annai and Sri Aravindar, AuroMere Meditation Center Question: You have said: “You must be vigilant and see that you do not use the Divine as a cloak for the satisfaction of your desires.” Mother's Answer: Many people accept certain theories, some of which are very convenient, and they say, “Everything is the result of the divine Will”; others say, “The Divine is everywhere and in everything and does everything”; yet others say, “My will is one with the divine Will, it is He who inspires me.” Indeed, there are many theories and they say that. Naturally, their ego is as alive. They do all that they want to do, saying, “It is the Divine who is doing it in me.” Whatever is supplied by their brain is the “divine Will”. It is not a personal inspiration: “Everything is the result of the divine Will.” “It is not I who am acting, it is the Divine who is acting through me.” They do all that they wish to do. There are many people like that. Therefore I said, “Do not use the Divine as a pretty cloak to hide your desires.” -Questions and Answers 1929 – 1931 (14 April 1929) - Collected Works of  The Mother
