Everything is Her grace
Who has the ability to know you unless you consent to teach them? There is no end to the books of wisdom; I find no end. But no matter how much I search, I don't find your light.
Worship, sacrifices, asceticism are all various forms of action. But can you be known through action, you who are beyond every action?
The entire creation is bound by your illusion. No one knows more than reflections. But to see the Mother who holds aloft the sky, who could hope to travel such a distance?
You are the Lord of all desires. And if it should become your desire, an individual can become infinite if you bless him with your grace.
So I hope for your grace, and want to continue throughout this life anticipating that the Lord of Grace, filling me with grace, will come and purify my heart.
From Shree Maa: The Guru and the Goddess, p 102-103
