About us

Love is not sexual intercourse.
Love is not vital attraction and interchange.
Love is not the heart's hunger for affection.
Love is a mighty vibration coming straight from the One, and only the very pure and very strong are capable of receiving and manifesting it.

To be pure is to be open only to the Supreme's influence and to no other .

Krishna the Divine Flute-player

 

 

   [Commenting on the above passage in the Bulletin, February 1961, Questions and Answers, the Mother says :


Krishna the divine Flute-player is the immanent and universal Divine who is the supreme power of attraction; and Radha the soul, the psychic personality answers to the call of the Flute-player. ...But as soon as there is the perfect identification all that vanishes. ..the story comes to its end and there is nothing more to relate.

That is why it has been said that if the world, if the creation realised perfect identity with the Divine, there would be no more creation The solution [of this contradiction] is to find the Ananda in the very midst of the Play where one gives and takes, where one seems to be two; this is why the Vaishnavas and the mystics keep the taste of the duality. Otherwise in identity there is only identity. If the identity is complete and perfect there is no more objectivisation.

  I have already said. ..that that begins by the Ananda of identity and at the end of the entire circuit of creation that ends in the Ananda of the union. Had there been no circuit, there would never have been the Ananda of the union; there would only have been the Ananda of identity.
