Mai-ism believes in lifting the person wherever and whichever stage that person is.

What can be more bold than the open speech (sentence of the Founder), at the All -Faiths Conference in 1933, when he said.

“ To the true Mother’s son, murders are brothers and wayward women are sisters .”

The Founder in his full heat on the subject says, people as also preachers totally forget how practically impossible for anyone to leave , off his desires, simply because some preachers tell him scoldingly ,” Don’t desire , curb your desires. be desire less. “ Let us count and let such preachers supply a list of the number of the persons whom that sort of teaching has transformed . No hypocrisy , no theory and no lying be permitted, while accepting the standard of ‘ desire-less-ness.’

Mai-ism takes an extremely patient view . It says,” Children are bound to be so. Let them grow in wisdom.A time will surely come when without your telling them you should not ask , they themselves will not ask. Have you not observed this in rich man’s children and boys when they grow up to be full-fledged ? Till that stage is reached, you have to take care of your devotees, as children. Call them senseless,forgetful, ungrateful, obstinate, shameless but they are children , if you have Mother’s heart. Mother’s mercy should be the last finishing stroke and closes every individual’s chapter,” Be a severe judge towards a frequent criminal , but the kindliest jailor “. says Mai-ism.

If you have a critical eye, the eye of mother and not of king to a beggar or of a stern Guru towards the unworthy disciple, you will find, tough very slowly, very imperceptibly, ever soul is getting nearer and nearer the Mother.The most ungrateful heart one day bursts .The memory of untold obligations someday sits heavy on the heart and breaks it. He than weepingly recounts all of them. The man gets one day ashamed of his obstinacy of demand.One day the higher sense does dawn with them highest illumination. At least , the Founder is extremely optimistic on thus point. The rub is, people want harvests without seed sowing.

The Founder says,I never believe any of my efforts has gone vain. Only thing is, we are blind. We don not see transformation until it takes a certain visible shape. Please note it very subtly one man may sow and another may reap or the original sower may not be known to the world.That is all quite possible ; but no sowing without its growing; and that is a dead certainty. Great men think in terms of benefit to the world as a whole and not to their own little self , and hence they have much less cause to be sorry about the results of their painful exertions not being quickly visible.

Mother’s Mercy. Guru’s Grace, disciple’s exertion all three together bring forth a certain desired result . As to the remedies of pleasing God or Guru, the same universal Mai-istic formula holds good :

“ Love, Service, Devotion and Self-surrender .”
