Omkara Divya Porule (Selected Verses)
Come quickly darling children, you who are the essence
of Aum. Removing all sorrow, grow as endearing ones
and become one with the sacred syllable Om.
The non-dual Self alone exists which knows not the
difference between day and night. It is not far away
but abides within us constantly shining forth with
brilliance.
Merge in your Self to become One with Me and always
seek happiness there. In order to remove all sorrows
and to fulfill this birth, get absorbed in the Pure
Self.
Like the blue of the sky and the water of the distant
mirage in the desert, remember that this world is
unreal brought forth by the magic of illusion.
Don't spend your time uselessly forgetting the purpose
for which you have come to this world. Try to be
aware of that Absolute Self each and every moment.
Don't get trapped in this cycle of birth and death
like birds and animals. Be firm in your goal and
joyfully try to open the Heart Lotus.
If the essence is known well, everything will become
valuable to us. Without making even a slight error in
the observance of your spiritual discipline, remember
Satchidananda.
Mother's dear children! Heed Mother's words. When
you realise who you are, then you will know that
Mother has always been within you.
Children, learn to observe the thoughts that rise in
your mind. Dispelling them, purify the mind with
thoughts of the Self.
Give up the habit of brooding and look into your inner
Self. Do not vainly hope that be gratifying the
senses one can eventually become dispassionate.
Break the chain of thoughts that perpetuate the sense
of futility. Extinguish the evils of the world arming
yourselves with the fire of our rich heritage.
Children, you are golden star-like flowers, you shine
in this world. Seeing your life, the world should
abandon its evil ways.
Do not be deceived by the five senses, my children,
comtemplate on the Truth by destroying the passions
that arise in your mind through those very senses.
When the Truth shines in your consciousness, all that
is seen here will become meaningless. The Universe
will be known to be like a picture on the wall.
Maya, the great power of illusion, is pushing us back
from progressing (spiritually). We are spending our
days in body consciousness with a heart full of
sorrow.
What a pity that the devil of desire, which affects us
through illusory tempations, kicks us into the dark
abyss of Maya making us food for the God of Death.
If you get caught in the grip of the devil of desire,
woe to you! For you will lose your soul. All worries
will come to an end if you give up your desires and
keep your hopes in God alone.
Before getting too old to do anything worthy, become
capable of gaining your soul. On your deathbed, your
father, mother, wife, and son will not be there to
save you.
Be brave my children, and give up body consciousness.
Remember that the soul cannot be burnt by fire but is
fire to even fire itself.
Children, offer all your sorrows at the Feet of the
Lord of All. The omnipotent, All-witnessing Lord will
satisfy all your desires.
