Rain

(Mother to Mona Sarkar:) “The rain is like a Grace that god sends to bless the earth and to purify it. It is this that gives life to Nature and the animals. It has an extraordinary power of purification. When it comes down, it vivifies Nature and fills it with a joy of life. It helps us in so many ways. As soon as the rain comes, it purifies the atmosphere of all the negative formations that we throw in the air and the harmful forces that constantly try to destroy us. It makes the atmosphere clear and limpid and in a way cleanses the atmosphere of all these impurities.
         There are also the hostile forces that live in the atmosphere and they are afraid of water; and as soon as it rains they flee, and if they cannot, they are dissolved. That is why there is a sort of peace that is established in the atmosphere after the rain. Have you never felt it?

(Mona Sarkar:) Yes, Mother, we feel a sort of joy and peace when it rains after a long time.

Yes, that is it.”

(Mother to Mona Sarkar:) “... I remember an incident; it was a long time ago, but it is as clear as if it had happened some days back. I had a fever and I was feeling uneasy; so I went out of the house for a walk in the fields to breathe the fresh air. Suddenly, it started to rain, and I was in the middle of the meadows, alone, with a vast sky above me for shelter! and nothing all around. And it was pouring. And I was enjoying myself and frolicking like a little child free of worries. I was completely wet and water ran down my body. I remained like that so that the rain may wash me of all my defects and all my pains and charge me with the force and energy that it contains. I felt already a sort of peace and sweetness entering in me and the body was vibrating physically with an unknown joy. And my fever and all that – gone, and I was feeling not only normal but also full of vigour. In half an hour I knew what the rain could do. For me it was truly an experience.”
