Sweet
Mother, it is said that if one sees a shooting star and at
that moment one aspires something, that aspiration is fulfilled
within the year. Is this true?
Do
you know what that means? The aspiration must be formulated
during the time the star is visible; and that doesn't last
long, does it? Well, if an aspiration can be formulated while
the star is visible, this means that it is all the time there,
present, in the forefront of the consciousness - this does
not apply to ordinary things, it has nothing to do with that,
it concerns a spiritual aspiration. But the point is that
if you are able to articulate your spiritual aspiration just
at that moment, it means that it is right in front of your
consciousness, that it dominates your consciousness. And,
necessarily, what dominates your consciousness can be realised
very swiftly.
I
had the opportunity to make this experiment. Exactly this. The moment the star was passing at that very
moment there sprang up from the consciousness:
"To
realise the divine union, for my body." That
very moment.
And
before the end of the year, it was done. But it was not because
of the star! It was because that dominated my whole consciousness
and I was thinking of nothing but that, I wanted only that,
thought only of that, acted only for that. So, this thing
which generally takes a whole lifetime
- it is said the minimum time is thirty-five years! - before twelve months had passed, it was done.
But
that was because I thought only of that. And it was because
I was thinking only of that, that just when the star flashed
by I could formulate it - not merely a vague impression -
formulate it in precise words like this: "To realise
union with the Divine", the inner Divine, the thing we
speak of, the very thing we speak of.
Therefore,
what is important is not the star but the aspiration. The
star is only like an outer demonstration, nothing else. But
it is not necessary to have a shooting star in order to realise
swiftly! What is necessary is that the whole will of the being
should be concentrated on one point.
