Shri Mataji reads a part of the chapter 1 of “Jesus, The Son of Man” from Kahlil Gibran, 1985 “And were it not for sorrow in all of you I would not have stayed to weep.”“Who are you and what are you, Judas Iscariot? And why do you tempt me?”“Have you in truth weighed me in the scale and found me one to lead legions of pygmies? And to direct chariots of the shapeless against an enemy that encompass-that encamps only in your hatred and marches nowhere but in your fear?” Shri Mataji: “Marches nowhere but in your fear”, means you have enemies within yourself.“Too many are the worms that crawl about me feet, and I will give them no battle. They are worms! I am weary of the jest, and weary of pitying the creepers who deem me coward because I will not move among their guarded walls and towers. ““Pity it is that I must needs pity to the very end.”“Would that I could turn my steps towards a larger world where larger men dwell. But, how shall I?” Shri Mataji: And now he said about the future, he?“Your priest and your emperor would have my blood. They shall be satisfied ere” means before, “I go hence.

In the same way in your family also, in your houses you must do Gruhalakshmis’ puja. The woman has to be the Gruhalakshmi herself and then she should be worshipped.“Yatya naria pujyante, tatra bhramante Devata.” Where the women are respected and worshipped there reside all the deities. But they should be respectable also. If they are not respectable then the deities won’t reside there. So, it’s a big responsibility on a Gruhalakshmi to be respectable so that all the deities are happy in the family. And once she is respected, she will try to be respectable also. So, the respect of the Gruhalakshmi is very important. Today we are having this little puja from all the builders who helped us here, with the blessings of Vishwakarma and Brahmadeva; those who have tried to make this house so beautiful. Also, as you know, Blake has described this house. It has a special significance and we have to now hand it over to somebody else, the one who will appreciate and respect this house; who will understand the value and worth of this house. And for that we have to pray that it will be Read More …
