Sri Ramakrishna on Divine Mother:
Loving Mother Kalikambal Kamakshi, ParaSakthi, the entire Universe with all its contents is Your Form only and every activity at every point, at every moment in this Universe is Your action only whether they appear good or bad (favourable or unfavorable) superficially; nothing or nobody else is there in this Universe other than You; free will of created individual beings is just an illusion for Your Universal Divine drama/play to appear natural and realistic. The beauty and greatness of Your actions are such that, that through a single action You accomplish multiple purposes/objectives simultaneously. Mind boggling and beyond the miniscule knowledge and understanding of any of Your created beings is Your infinite Power of Intelligence and infinite Power of Creation. According to Bhagavata Purana, Mother ParaSakthi, You Yourself might not be knowing the infinite limits of Your Intelligence and Power. That is the reason You are continuously playing and experimenting with Your Universal Game of Creation without satiation, with infinite varieties of infinite non-living and living things/beings, without beginning or end like a sweet little pure, innocent girl child, with infinite patience as You are really formless Pure Consciousness-Being-Power transcending Your magical Space-Time-Form-Name creation.
Loving Mother Kalikambal, SivaSakthi, SatChitAnanda Athma Swaroopini, Your Love/Grace towards all Your created children is unconditional without any tinge of bias, it is eternal, Pure, infinite & flooding and confers all Goodness and like Ocean waiting to submerge -- those who seek You within themselves through steadfast surrendered unconditional Love and Faith -- in absolute, infinite bliss, peace, inseparable fearless non-dual Oneness and immortality. But vast majority of Your created children are totally ignorant of this because they have built a huge, thick wall of selfish desires/hatreds/attachments within themselves and are continuously busy trying to fulfill them for pain & sufferings laden transient worldly pleasures, mainly through sinful means with painful consequences, without any rest in mind particularly. Unless they demolish this great obstacle through unwavering discrimination/investigation and consequent dispassion and steadfastly seek You within themselves through surrendered unconditional Love and Faith with Purity of Mind and innocence of a child, they will not be able to receive Your infinite & flooding Love/Grace but only be blocking it due to their terrible ignorance.
Sweet Loving Mother Kalikambal, SivaSakthi, You told Your unconditionally surrendered child seated on Your Divine Lap, "My dear little child, Where can I go away from you or Where can you go away from Me?, you are living right within me, inside my womb itself, I am alone you as well as the entire Universal creation. So don't get worried over any imagined separation from Me, that's absolutely impossible, you are under my total care, protection and responsibility. So don't fear or worry about anything, Just always hold onto Me in Your thoughts, attached to Me alone, not to my transient magical worldly creations & pleasures laden with Pain, and eventually, pretty soon, you will realize your inseparable, ever joyful, fearless, peaceful, pure state of Oneness with Me as your own Athma/Self."

WORDS OF THE DIVINE MANIFESTATIONS
(KALIKAMBAL SS)
Don't Think about the Past and also about the Future, All is My Absolute Will Universally, whether Favourable or Unfavourable, All for your Greater Spiritual Good only. Whatever I had destined for you, whether you are happy with it or not, that alone is good for you. If you accept it, you are filled with Peace/Shanthi.
*****
*****
(KALIKAMBAL SS)
If there is Loss/Pain, there is also Gain in some other way for one's Good along with the wiping out of associated bad karmas as well.
No Worries or Fear, Be at Peace. All is My Universal Play. All is My Will Alone, No individual will here - that's only an illusion for My Play to appear realistic.
*****
*****
(MOTHER VALLI)
You can only do what I make you to do, nothing else. You have no control over anything at all, even when to sit, when to get up, when to go out, when to eat, when to sleep, when to work, even when to go to the toilet etc. All is My Absolute Will Alone. That's the Truth. You are aware of this from your own experiences.
Don't get elated when favourable happens, and Don't get depressed when unfavourable happens. Take whatever happens in life, favourable or unfavourable, as Divine Prasad/Blessings/Will for your good alone (remember Sri Ramakrishna's story on Rama's Will), then you will always be in Peace/Shanthi.
*****
*****
(KALIKAMBAL SS)
Sarvam SivaSakthi (All is SivaSakthi), Sarvam Kartha SivaSakthi (All is done by SivaSakthi), Na Aham Na Mama (No individual I & Mine here), Ayam Athma SivaSakthi (You are also That SivaSakthi/Athma/Brammam alone).
Good or Bad, All is ME alone in my Universal Creations and Play. Accept everything (Good or Bad/Favourable or UnFavourable) in My Creations as Me alone without hating anything; only then You are truly and wholly loving Me. That's the real, loving Worship of Me and it will confer eternal Peace/Shanthi.
At the same time, as a spiritual sadhaka, keep away from things or people (without hating) that can affect your Spiritual Practices and progress by making your mind impure or creating troubling attachments.
My surrendered devotee children steadfastly walk in a direction towards Me, exactly opposite to that of the worldly people, who think about My devotee children as good for nothing, and not shrewd (that is, not cunning and selfish) in worldly matters and dealings. But they don't know that an Infallible Universal Truth and Power is always protecting and guiding My surrendered devotee children, whereas ignorant worldly people always hold onto perishable and totally undependable wealth, property, people support, power and others as supremely important things of their life, despite pain & sufferings from them, than the Peaceful Divine Truth, which created these transient magical creations.
My surrendered devotee child should be like a Chaste Wife, totally holding onto Me, Depending on Me alone, Trusting Me alone, for its spiritual and material wellbeing, whether whatever may come or whatever may go, favourable or unfavorable, and Not getting distracted, not falling for, not depending on My transient worldly creations for its wellbeing, unlike an unchaste woman.
*****
*****
(KALIKAMBAL SS)
Just be in the present, happily and peacefully focusing on Me with Love and on the duties assigned by Me to You.
Do your just/righteous life duties honestly like a school homework given by Divine Mother Teacher ParaSakthi without any worldly expectations; but only to please ME alone, for MY sake alone, for MY Love alone.
Duties/services towards one's Country such as Paying Taxes sincerely, Charitable acts, Avoiding evil/unlawful acts etc., are great. But nothing can match the sacrifice of brave soldiers who give their lives in their duty of protecting their Country's borders from enemies.
One should be ready to sacrifice/renounce anything and everything of one's possessions including one's body, life and Ego/Individuality (the most important) for the sake of God/Self. That's True Love/Surrender to God/Self, culminating in God/Self-Realization. Saivaite Nayanmar Saints in PeriyaPuranam are great examples of such True Love/Surrender to God/Self.
*****
*****
(KALIKAMBAL SS)
My Promise, My Assurance to Yourself and to your Close ones of Your YogaKshema is Infallibly Absolute. No Fear, Be at Peace. Om Shanthi.
Because you have wholeheartedly, totally surrendered to Me, like a chaste wife, despite worldly elements trying to distract you, you should never ever take any selfish decisions or make any selfish plans for your future wellbeing that will make your surrender to Me a mockery, like an unchaste wife.
*****
*****
(MOTHER VALLI)
Always Trust my Words. TRUST ME ALONE, JNANA GURU ALONE, don't trust my ever changing Universal creations (living/non-living) to avoid painful disappointments. God/Self/Athma/SatChitAnanda alone is Truth, all else is My Magical Show. Trust Me alone, the Magician, not my ever changing, transient Magic Show of pain, pleasure, birth and death.
*****
*****
(MOTHER VALLI)
Divine Wealth of Grace in the form of Eternal Peace/Shanthi and Divine Love swelling in Your Heart/Pure Mind devoid of worldly attachments is the Greatest Wealth/Wellbeing. Nothing is greater than That, nothing comes closer to That at all.
*****
*****
(MOTHER KAMADHENU)
In Truth, you are not responsible for anything, Good or Bad. This is all Mother SivaSakthi's Universal Play/Game/Maya. She alone is the real doer and enjoyer through all Her manifested infinite forms in this Universe. If you sincerely realize or hold onto this Truth, you will attain Peace, Shanthi for sure.
Divine Visions with youthful, blissful Divine forms seen by an advanced spiritual aspirant/Sadhaka indicates the Truth that one's own Athma/Self taking those forms is ever youthful, blissful, birthless, deathless, without decay. Never lose the Advaita drishti/focus on one's own Athma/Self.
An ordinary worshipper will only see Me as a wish fulfilling cow and will try to secure perishable worldly benefits from Me. Whereas a Jnana Sadhaka will worship Me as a special Divine manifestation of Brammam/Athma/Self and will secure spiritual instructions/truths, blessings and grace for Athma Jnana from Me. It is the same with Divine Manifestations such as Siva, Vishnu, Bramma, Krishna, Kali, Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati etc.
In Srimad Bhagavata Purana, Dattatreya had 24 strange and abnormal gurus giving Teachings of Jnana/Vedanta. Thus, if a disciple/mumukshu/spiritual aspirant is sincere, steadfast and one-pointed in attaining God/Self-Realization, then by Divine Grace Guru Principle/Tatva can shine from anywhere, even from an ordinary entity, to guide the disciple towards God/Self-Realization. Hence, the qualification of a disciple really matters in God/Self-Realization.
If things/happenings are always according to one's expectations, then one's Ego/Pride/Attachments will grow like anything severely harming one's spiritual progress. One day, by Divine Will/Grace, through a very painful experience, that Ego will be made to crash to the ground for the good of everyone. If the sufferer takes that painful experience positively, it will help in purifying that person, conferring humility, otherwise more painful experiences will have to be experienced by that Egoistic child.
*****
*****
(KALIKAMBAL SS)
For the one with Viveka/Discrimination, Painful experiences provide wonderful opportunity to reform/purify/get rid oneself of worldly attachments/bad habits of mind and progress Spiritually towards God/Self-Realization of Eternal Peace/Shanthi. It is like impurities going away when beating a dirty cloth on a Washing stone to make it clean and bright.
*****
*****
(KALIKAMBAL SS)
OTHER THAN ME, OTHER THAN ME, THE UNCHANGING IMMORTAL TRUTH, Don't have attachments/desires or preferences for any worldly things, even trivial things (e.g. food type, places, people, situations, intense planning, money or worldly matters etc). Be Aware, Alert, Discriminate and Be udaasinaa/indifferent to them.
Accept whatever is forced by the situation as per Dharma/Righteousness and as My Divine Will. Otherwise, by enforcing your worldly attachments/expectations in a situation, you will surely get into worries, fears, anger, hatred, arguments, conflicts/problems by reacting irresponsibly and end up losing precious Peace of Mind/Shanthi.
If you are udaasinaa/without any worldly attachments or expectations, you will Act Responsibly to a situation without losing Peace of Mind/Shanthi and MY DIVINE GRACE will automatically provide the Best outcome/solution at the right time for both your worldly and spiritual needs for your YogaKshema with infallible certainty.
Do all your life duties/activities for My Sake for just needs, survival needs alone, and not for desires, which will surely end in troubles/pain. Also, have no plans in life. My Plans alone gets implemented.
For you, in your Spiritual effort, there may be painful falls sometimes due to the habit of Mind or some bad karmic effect but DON'T EVER GIVE UP, DON'T EVER GIVE UP following this PRECIOUS WAY. The surest way to attain Me as your Immortal Athma/Self/Pure-Consciousness-Being of Eternal Peace/Shanthi and secure freedom from painful cyclic game of births and deaths once and for all.
*****
*****
(KALIKAMBAL SS)
According to Yoga Vasishta, Self-Control, Contentment, Satsanga, and Self-enquiry/Discrimination are four gatekeepers to God/Self-Realization. Holding onto anyone other divine qualities are also acquired gradually for sure, ultimately culminating in God/Self-Realization.
*****
*****
(KALIKAMBAL SS)
To maintain Peace of Mind, to avoid restlessness of Mind, to avoid arguments or fights, Don't indulge in thoughts or talks about good or bad in others or other things, which will lead to raga (attachment) and dvesha (hatred/aversion). Also, remain alone as possible from worldly contacts and avoid unnecessary talks with others.
As Saint Ramalinga Vallalar said Pasithiru (Always Hungry for God/Self-Realization), Thanithiru (Be Alone with your Spiritual Practices), and Vilithiru (Be Aware, Always Discriminating, Enquiring on God/Truth)
*****
*****
(MOTHER SITA)
No I & Mine for you, Only Mummy (Divine Mother) for you.
With such Surrender, your mind will become pure and simple with child-like innocence, free from worldly attachments/desires/expectations of painful complexities. It is Divine Mother/God's complete responsibility to totally take care of your spiritual and worldly needs, not yours to think of them anymore.
If through spiritual merit acquired by intense Loving Sadhana/Upasana one becomes intimate, close with Personal God/Ishwara/Jnana Guru, even then one should not seek the fulfillment of any desires (even like seeking punishment for trouble giving cruel people etc.) other than intensely Loving God/Guru for the sake of Love alone nothing else. Otherwise, it will only covertly strengthen the dangerous Ego (I & Mine) which one is trying to eradicate by Divine Grace.
Saints Appar, Maanikkavaasagar and Prahalad are great examples of how a surrendered devotee of God should be, totally unconditional and submissive, full of Love for God without any expectations from Him.
Desires/Expectations are the root cause of all human sufferings, including intense anger, hatred towards one's Loving Personal God/Ishwara and Jnana Guru itself when desires/expectations are not fulfilled by them. One can learn this from the falls of spiritual personalities like Daksha Prajapati by hating Lord Shiva, Kali Devotee Sambhandandan in Saint Arunagirinathar's Life, Sri Ramana Maharshi's devotee Perumal Sami, and also from Nayanmar SundaraMurthy's Life.
That is why Jnani Saint Thirumular expressed this truth in his work Thirumanthiram as,
ஆசை அறுமின்கள் ஆசை அறுமின்கள்
ஈசனோடு ஆயினும் ஆசை அறுமின்கள்
ஆசைப் படப் பட ஆய் வரும் துன்பங்கள்
ஆசை விட விட ஆனந்தம் ஆமே.
(Give up Desires, Give up Desires
Even When you are with God/Ishwara itself, Give up Desires
More and More Desires, Comes More and More Sufferings
As Desires are given up, Comes the Blissful Peace of Self/Athma)

(MOTHER RADHA-RUKMINI)
Amma Ishtamme, Pillai Ishtam (That is, translation from Tamil, "DIVINE MOTHER, YOUR WISH/LIKING alone is this child's wish/liking as well. No separate will for the surrendered child"). The surrendered child must be Totally submissive to Infinite, Allknowing, Allpowerful, Allcontrolling Universal Divine Mother's Will (whether favourable or unfavorable) without any resistance in order to attain Peace/Shanthi of Athma.
You don't have control over anything at all. Divine Mother ParaSakthi alone totally controls everything from subatomic to Universal level. Don't put your mind on worldly happenings/things/events and worry, fear about not happening as per your expectations/desires. Accept everything as they are, as MY Supreme Divine Will. Don't Resist to lose Peace/Shanthi. All is ME, MY WILL ALONE. EVERYTHING is PERFECT from my LEVEL/VIEW.
What you don't want others to do to you or your close ones, you yourself don't do that to others. Everything, All are One God/Truth/Self/Athma only. Doing Good to others is really doing Good to Yourself only and the same holds for bad as well. But you can hiss like a snake without biting, restrained, just to keep troublemakers away.
Hold God/Self/Athma/Jnana Guru in your mind always and do your just life duties for MY SAKE alone truthfully without any expectations of desired outcomes to realize Shanthi/Peace within yourself. Your Guru Ramana says, it is a serious error on the part of a Sadhaka/Spiritual Aspirant to put his/her mind on worldly happenings/things/events (other than one's just life duties) and waste one's time & energy on them.
When not involved in just life duties, Occupy yourself with Peace/Shanthi giving, mind purifying SatSang, that is -- Meditating on God/Self/Athma/Guru (or) Vedantic teachings, Japa/Stotra recitations, Doing Worship/Pooja physically or mentally, Self-enquiry on Athma, Read/think about or associate with Saints/Bakthas/Sages/Jnanis/Devotees, Listening/reading/thinking/recollecting Divine stories/Puranas/Epics/Vedanta etc.
*****
*****
(Anurupe, Maharupe, Viswarupe, Shantharupe MOTHER SHARADA SARASWATI)
Have, Cultivate enormous Patience always. This Patience comes due to the Peace/Shanthi within by surrendering I & Mine (Ego/Individuality) to God/Athma/Jnana Guru and doing your just life duties for the sake of ME/GOD alone truthfully without any expectations of the outcomes. Divine Solutions/Intuitions to solve/overcome Problems/Obstacles while doing just life duties will automatically present itself only when you have this great Patience.
*****
*****
(LORD KRISHNA)
Your Deep Love/Attachment to God/Athma/Jnana Guru is not the source of your life problems; But the attachment to your highly troublesome Ego of I & Mine and its expectations is the sole source of all your life problems across births with the accumulated mountain of karmas.
The Ego expects/wants God/Athma/Jnana Guru to fulfill its life desires/expectations; hence, anger/hatred against Infinite, Allknowing, Allpowerful, Allcontrolling God/Athma/Jnana Guru when Ego's desires/expectations are not fulfilled (for an individual's good).
Hence, a surrendered devotee/spiritual aspirant has to totally give up the Ego to realize one's eternal, inseparable, peaceful and joyful oneness with God/Athma/Jnana Guru; this alone ends the painful birth-death cyclic life game dominated by pain & sufferings.
Other than Immortal, Unchanging, Ever-Dependable, Blissful God/Athma/Jnana Guru, who-else/what-else is there worthy of one's one-pointed Deep Love/Attachment.

(SURRENDERED CHILD TO KALIKAMBAL SS)
Despite seeing the pain & sufferings of others everywhere in this world; people easily, ignortanly believe that they won't get them and get deluded by the temporary strong pleasurable attractions in YOUR Creation and get trapped in worldly life full of endless desires and undesired pain & sufferings that come unsought.
(KALIKAMBAL SS TO SURRENDERED CHILD)
That is My deluding Magical Universal Divine Play that works by keeping people/living beings ignorant of their Eternal, Immortal, Immutable Divine Nature, which is ME only, SivaSakthi. Nothing is gained or lost in ME, I am always Eternal and Unchanging. Forms & Names in this Universal creation is My Magical show/play. I am alone appearing as all the Forms & Names in this Universe. Birth and Death is just a Magic Show, not real. I am alone Real and Ever existing, Sole Truth/Reality. Knowers of this Truth through God/Self-Realization will never grieve over death and other losses as they are just My Magical show. But they will be full of Love and Compassion as they see the Entire Universal creation as ME alone. Their expressions of human feelings and other emotions will only be superficial without causing any impressions of pain & sufferings in them.
Me, your Divine Mother ParaSakthi is Poorna (Complete One). The Universe that has emerged from Me is also Poorna. The living beings/jivas emerged from Me are also Poorna. You, my Dear Child emerged from Me are also Poorna. All is Me alone, nothing or nobody else, whether in the past, present or in the future. Forms & Names, my Infinite manifestations create an illusion of duality for my interesting and complex Universal Play. Countless forms & names appear and disappear in Me every moment, but I AM always Poorna, eternal, no gain or loss in Me, immutable without any real change.
*****
*****
(MOTHER GANGA)
Why do you always worry about this and that? All is Divine Will. You don't have control over anything at all. Nothing is Lost or Gained in Reality. All is Divine. Leave everything to the Divine Will and be at Peace. Be like a dried leaf, in your mind - very light - without resistance, burden, and transported painlessly by the wind of the Divine in Life.
*****
*****
(MOTHER BUDDHI)
You can never ever get permanent peace and happiness from any external objects whether wealth, places, wife, children, relations, people, pets, education, name, fame, position, power, other worldly objects etc. They are all undoubtedly transient, subjected to unexpected problems and loss/destruction and they only increase anxiety, worries, fears, anger, hatred, pride, greed, jealousy with increasing attachment to them and increasing accumulation of them.
You believed that Ukraine is a very beautiful, good and peaceful place to live. But see how it is now (2022), subjected to fear, pain & sufferings and destruction in a war. That is the case with all worldly objects including one's own body as well. One's own Athma/Brammam/Self/God, within each and every one of us, our indestructible, eternal Core of Pure Intelligence/Consciousness, the source of entire Universal creation; that alone is eternal, uninterruptible Peace and Happiness, nothing else (not even Great Divine Worlds).
Giving up attachments to the transient external worldly objects and steadfastly seeking the realization of Real, ever joyful immortal nature of us is the sole purpose of one's life. Even the steadfast effort in that direction itself will confer great Peace and Happiness.
*****
*****
(MOTHER POORANAI)
Nothing to Worry my child. All is Well by Divine Will. All this is Divine Game/Play. Always Hold onto Unchanging Divinity/Reality/Truth. That's Surrender. And the Culmination of Total Surrender of Ego of I & Mine is Athma Jnana/God/Self-Realization/Mukthi. That's the only worthy attainment in Life. One's eternal, immortal, Immutable state of Peace/Shanthi and Happiness. That's Poorana.
*****
*****
(MOTHER DEVASENA/DEVAYANI)
Parents are Divine Representatives to take care of My created beings. Love them and Respect them with Gratitude as Divine Manifestations for your good and wellbeing in life. Never hate them just because they ignorantly commit some mistakes/wrongs due to human nature; but you learn a lesson from it of not repeating those mistakes/wrongs in your life.
*****
*****
(MOTHER MEENAKSHI)
Without any Expectations/Attachments/Aversions/Hatreds of any kind in life, do your just righteous duties for the sake of ME alone with ENORMOUS PATIENCE, LOVE for ME and sole TRUST IN ME & MY YOGAKSHEMA Grace to attain Peace of Mind and to Overcome Tough times/situations. If you don't hold onto ME unconditionally, you will be trapped by worldly attachments/attractions/aversions/hatreds with its terrible pain & sufferings. Be like Tukaram, a great example and householder devotee of Lord Vittala of Pandharpur. Holding onto ME, be like worry-free (of past/future), happy young innocent children who love and trust their Parents cent percent unconditionally.
