BHAGAWAN’S TEACHINGS. 3. AKSHAYAPATRA 4.WORDS OF WISDOM The moon shines in my body, but my blind eyes cannot see it: The moon is within me, and so is the sun. The unstruck drum of Eternity is sounded within me; but my deaf ears cannot hear it. So long as man clamours for the I and the Mine, his works are as naught: When all love of the I and the Mine is dead, then the work of the Lord is done. For work has no other aim than the getting of knowledge: When that comes, then work is put away. The flower blooms for the fruit: when the fruit comes, the flower withers. The musk is in the deer, but it seeks it not within itself: it wanders in quest of grass. ------Kabir .. AMRUTHAVANI .A flute is all hollow. Hence sound emanates from it with musical charm. Be a flute in the Hands of God. This is the highly blessed state. To attain to this state you should free yourselves from the ego and vasanas.When ego and vasanas are liquidated through devotion or bhakthi,the devotee becomes the nature of satchidananda.His body becomes a veritable flute of God. --Bhagavad-Gita-15/3. Na roopamasyeha tathopalabhyate Naanto na chaadirna cha sampratishthaa; Ashwatthamenam suviroodhamoolam Asangashastrena dridhena cchittwaa. 111 BHAGAVAD GITA 3.

A cultured life is the highest attainment. Divine Mother used to teach us that richness lies in following our culture just as our ancestors and sages did. Our forefathers were not educated, but they were highly cultured and that is why, they could lead a happy, peaceful and contented life. Let us go back to our past by following our own traditions, so that we can reach the pinnacle of existence as in the olden days when India was blessed with wealth, strength and beauty AKSHAYAPATRA Smt K.Kamala Devi When divine Mother visited Royal Palace at Trivandrum,in response to my father’s prayerful wish expressed Her readiness to visit our home in the flowing day morning with a group of Her disciples. We were in a sea of bliss. My father who had accompanied Mother to ‘Menakhsi Mandiram where Mother was staying, brought two cooks from there. He told me I should take entire responsibility. The whole night was spent in preparing sweets and delicacies. I got everything ready for fifty persons although my father told about 30 persons might be expected for breakfast. Divine Mother arrived at 8 A.M. with a group of 30 devotees. Bhajan started and Divine Mother went into Samadhi.From that ecstatic state divine utterances began to flow like a stream. After half an hour Mother descended to normal consciosness. In the mean time visitors began to swell in number. I looked at my father and he looked at me. We were embarrassed and did not know what to do. Mother divined our thoughts and gazed at us with as significant smile. She came to our rescue and said,” Why children, why do you worry? Where is the place for anxiety and fear when Mother is here? Have faith.” Saying this Divine Mother walked into the room where the sweets and other things were kept. Mother came back and smiled and sat in Her seat. A simple look of Divine Mother at the vessels in which sweets were kept converted them into ‘Akshay Patra’. It was time to serve coffee to all. The number of persons who had arrived came to more than a 100 by that time. All were seated in batches. We were surprised to find that there were enough sweets for all. The cooks who prepared the sweets could not find words to express their surprise The devotees who took sweets said that the sweets tasted extra ordinary sweeter. A lot of sweets still left after serving to all. If this is not divine miracle, I donot know what else it. OM SAHATHI! RAMA SAKTHI MISSION TRICHUR BULLETIN 505 .
