Mother Goddess Made a Mistake
Mother Goddess made a mistake.
She accidentally triggered something and this world came into existence.
Otherwise, will a mother ever put her children into trouble?
There is so much suffering in the world. Otherwise, how can it be?
The creation of the world was accidental, not intentional.
This is one way to look at it. Like something dropping from your hand.
Or your leg — say there is a beautiful rangoli on the floor and you unintentionally step on it.
It is disturbed, damaged. Beauty is gone.
Now who will repair and set it right? You only will have to do it. Who else will?
So, when the mother sees that her children are suffering, confused —
Confused to such an extent that brothers and sisters are becoming enemies of each other, killing each other —
Now she has to restore normalcy.
The rangoli that you have damaged — merely by wishing, it doesn’t become as before.
You have to work on it. It takes time.
This is what the mother is doing.
The entire intelligence is at her command — jnana shakti — she knows how to do it.
But there is a proper process, a procedure.
She is also anxious seeing her children suffering.
She may be feeling guilty —
'Oh, how did this happen? I should have been more careful. See what I have done.'
She knows very well that the original was absolute bliss, ananda, peace.
This is what she has to restore it to.
When the object fell from her hand, it broke into pieces like a glass vessel.
It is in pieces now.
She has to collect all the pieces, join them together, and make it like how it was before.
She is anxious. But now she should be more careful.
How she is going to do it is very important.
She should not end up making it more complicated.
In a jigsaw puzzle, how you go about doing it is very important — or it will get more and more complicated.
One thing she understood is that her children are completely lost.
They have forgotten their original nature.
Original form.
From child, they have become children now.
They firmly think that they are individuals — different from each other, separate from each other.
They have forgotten what joy is. What ananda is.
She has to teach them.
How do you teach a child about something that the child has not seen?
Show an image, a picture.
Show the picture of a lion, and say — this is a lion.
The picture is not real. The picture is not even a small percentage of the size of the lion.
But the child can recognize a lion if one comes for real.
So, to show the original state of ananda, the mother put so many small, small pleasures all around —
To give the children an idea of what they have to work towards.
Otherwise, how will the children even know that there is something called pleasure?
Then she put teachers who would go to the children and say —
'Did you like that ice cream?'
'Yes, I loved it.'
'I can give you an ice cream which is a crore times tastier than this one, and also as huge as a mountain.
It will never get over — do you want that?
Come with me. I will show you how to get there.'
These are her methods.
She has only done the damage. She only has to set it right.
Then she realized that all her children are not alike.
Some are intelligent, some are not so intelligent.
Some are patient, some are restless.
Some have perseverance, some do not have.
So she put different methods. Not one method.
Then she realized that they are just running here and there. They are not paying attention.
So, how a teacher closes the doors of a classroom, she also made the world experience limited.
You only hear so much. You only see so much.
So that her children can develop focus.
Then she created some little fears and anxieties beyond the boundaries —
If you go there, you will slip and fall, fracture your leg.
If you go there, there are wild animals — they will eat you.
So that the children stay focused and work on getting back to the original state of ananda.
These rituals, the pujas that we do are all part of her plan — her syllabus — that she has carefully chosen to get us back to our original state.
She is working on each and every one of us — with the appropriate methods.
That's how a mother is.
