It was me who didn’t see
Didn’t see you
Looked everywhere outside
But never turned inside to my own heart
In all my love
All my pain and all my sorrow
In all my hope and all my joy
You were there with me
It was me who didn’t turn to you
You were my joy in all my play
You indeed were the joy
And I indulged in all that joy
Days spent in play
You were there deep in my heart
In the songs I sang in my sorrow and joy
You were the words, you were the tune
It was me who never sang your songs
Please be alit oh spirit
And enlighten this attention
Let me be immersed totally in you
Sing the song of love
Lost in complete joy!

Shri Mataji
Such a tremendous power, so alert, so affectionate, so kind is there – and a Mother, who is your teacher. Mother teaches children with love.
Not only that, but you never even felt how I taught you Sahaja Yoga. You just learnt it like that. It’s a child’s play for you. It’s such a difficult and subtle subject. You picked it up without any difficulties. So artfully it was done. Beautifully it was done, built within you.
Now you know, “This is Sahaja Yoga; this is not Sahaja Yoga.”
All this knowledge came to you so sweetly.
Shri Mataji, 23 September 1990, Geneva, Switzerland
