Weather
(Udar Pinto:) “It was around mid summer and some of us were complaining of the heat when the Mother said, “Why do you complain? You feel uncomfortable with the heat, so you complain. But this is because you are fighting the heat. If you can make friends with it and nowt fight it you will not be uncomfortable and will not need to complain!” The Mother explained that one can make friends with all kinds of weather – not only the heat. One can be friends with the cold also and with rain and snow.
This advice I took very much to heart and I have always tried to be friends with whatever weather I have to face – the heat here, the cold in Europe and America. And I really did not suffer as others did because of my friendliness. Then there is, most particularly, walking in the sun. Here when the sun is full up, and in summer, most people like to walk in the shade; but the Mother explained to me that this is not good. “The sun is our friend,” She said, “our very dear friend, our lover. If we did not have the sun we would suffer very much. So why hide from your lover? Walk in his fullness and let him embrace you with his love. Of course, I know, that sometimes his embrace is a bit too intense and warm, but what to do? Some lovers are like that. If you let him embrace you, he will never harm you and, on the contrary, will give you strength and good health.” ”[1]
(Gloria:) “Before the [Matrimandir] concretings, we used to write to the Mother asking her for her blessings. Once during the monsoon, we told her, “If it rains, all the cement will be lost, so Mother, pray for us.” It never rained during a concreting. Never. Often it rained two or three hours later, when actually curing was necessary and so it was a good thing. So we had this irrational impression, that Mother had power over the clouds, over the weather – that she was protecting us. For Piero and myself, it was strange, because we had a scientific background, not at all mystical. On a rational level, we could not believe these things, but when things happen again and again, how can you not believe?”[2]
