Blossom like a flower

There are relations, personal, intimate as life itself, sweet as love, encompassing like the sky, deep like deep waters. A friend walks at our side; a Lover is with us in our heart's secrecy; a Master of the Work and the Ordeal points our way; a Creator of things uses us as his instrument; we are in the arms of the eternal Mother.

SRI AUROBINDO

The more you give yourself to the Divine, the more He is with you totally, constantly, at every minute, in all your thoughts, all your needs, and there is not an aspiration which does not receive an immediate answer, and you have the sense of a complete and constant intimacy, of a total nearness. It is as though you carried ... as though the Divine were with you all the time; you walk and He walks with you, you sleep and He sleeps with you, you eat and He eats with you, you think and He thinks with you, you love and He is the love you have. But for this you must give yourself entirely, totally, exclusively.
