Take Refuge in God

Sri Sarada Devi

Nothing can be achieved without His grace. We have practised so much Japa, we have observed so many spiritual disciplines, but nothing whatsoever is of much avail. How can anyone get liberation unless Mahamaya leaves the path open? O man, take refuge in God! Take refuge in Him! Then alone Mahamaya will be gracious and clear the way for liberation. It is only if one takes shelter in God that one is saved.

Hearing a disciple’s letter full of despair, the Holy Mother said seriously and forcibly: “How is that possible? Is the name of the Master a trifle? Those who have come here and are thinking of the Master, will certainly see their Chosen Ideal one day. If they are not able to do so during their lifetime, they will at least have His vision at the last moment, before their death.”
