Replies to Prayers of the Physical Education Groups1 GROUP A
Sweet Mother, for us Thou hast kept the path free from all dangers and difficulties, the path that surely leads to the goal; and when the final victory will be won, it will reach out to infinity. Mother, keep us always green, so that we may advance without stop on the road Thou hast with such labour prepared for us.
My little ones, you are the hope, you are the future. Keep always this youth which is the faculty to progress; for you the phrase “it is impossible” will have no meaning. 22 April 1949 GROUP B
Sweet Mother, we want to be Thy faithful soldiers to fight for Thy final victory. Victory to Sweet Mother. Call to Victory
I salute you, my brave little soldiers, I give you my call to the rendezvous with Victory. 3 April 1949 1The groups are listed here as they were originally formed; since then, they have been reorganised. Page – 271 GROUP C
Lord, free from all ignorance Thy supreme workers and guide their standard of purity by the shortest way towards the Realisation. May Thy will be done and not ours.
The Lord will name “supreme” only those of his workers who will have wholly surmounted and overpassed in them all animality. Let us be at the outset his faithful and sincere workers and when this more modest programme is accomplished we shall prepare ourselves for greater realisations. 23 April 1949 GROUP D
Sweet Mother, we want to be Thy valiant warriors, we will follow Thee to the final Victory.
With a single sincere heart we all will for Victory, but it is by stages that it can be achieved. A scrupulous discipline is the first step. Let your new uniform be the symbol of its fulfilment. 17 April 1949 GROUP DG
Sweet Mother, we are Thy little children aspiring for Thy all-powerful Light. And Thou, Sweet Mother, hast given us the assurance of the final Victory; it is Thy will that we should be Thy faithful, sincere, brave and disciplined soldiers. Sweet Mother, here is our pledge. We are determined to be so, and above all, to place ourselves, without Page – 272 reserve, in Thy hands. Give us the power to do it.
I accept your pledge and you can rely upon my help to realise it. Age exists only for those who choose to become old. Forward, ever forward, without fear and without hesitation. 22 April 1949 GROUP DK
Mother Divine, here is our prayer: Grant that we may always be Thy obedient and sincere soldiers, may Thy force enable us to fight the hostile powers and win Thy victory. Victory to the Mother!
Be always faithful and persevering and you will have your share of the realisation. 22 April 1949 Group E We want to be what Thou wantest us to be.
I have full trust in your goodwill. Trust in my help.
CAPTAINS’ GROUP
All you Captains of Physical Education: You can and must be the élite. I was thinking that, in the Ashram, there should be a nucleus around which all will be organised. The Captains of Physical Education can be the nucleus Page – 273 of Physical Education. They need not be many in number, but a good selection, first class people, true candidates for supermanhood, ready to give themselves entirely, unreservedly to the big divine work. This is what is expected from you. This must be your programme. March 1961 Sweet Mother, We aspire to work all together towards the goal that Thou hast proposed to us. Grant us the rectitude, the courage, the perseverance and the goodwill necessary to accomplish this sublime task. Kindle in us the flame which will burn out all resistance and make us fit to be Thy faithful servants.
My children, We are united towards the same goal and for the same accomplishment – for a work unique and new, that the divine Grace has given us to accomplish. I hope that more and more you will understand the exceptional importance of this work and that you will sense in yourselves the sublime joy that the accomplishment will give you. The divine force is with you – feel its presence more and more and be careful never to betray it. Feel, wish, act, that you may be new beings for the realisation of a new world and for this my blessings shall always be with you. 24 April 1961 Page – 274 |
