Thousands of Suns, a painting by Mantradevi.

These words were channeled by Swami Kriyanandaji at an 8-hour Christmas meditation at Ananda Village, many years ago:

“Divine Mother has asked me to convey these words to you. I am very pleased with all of you. I am very pleased with what you are doing. But, don’t live in littleness, in petty things, little thoughts, little worries, little ambitions. Live for me, for my love.

I am your Mother through all eternity. Nothing else matters. You were born to commune with Me. For no other reason were you born. Live in my consciousness; everything else is dust.

I know all of your thoughts. Your devotion is very pleasing to me. You are my children; you are all very dear to Me. Live more in Me. Live in my love.

Yes, build a community, but in the sense of communion with Me. My children, I am always with you. I am just behind your thoughts; just behind your feelings. I am with you every second. Let no other thought come between Me and thee.”
