The Divine wishes to give us the Deepest Response. Only that we ask of Him trivial things. To rely on the Divine in the worst of circumstances is the only condition for deserving such a response. Human love is celebrated over the ages. One cannot see a famous film or read a popular novel without the theme of love. Man longs for that. The heart yearns for it. If only that is granted, it gives the pride of life, says a great poet. Mother says human love is full of selfishness. Friendship, trust, confidence, good will, goodness, and affection are rare.
Invocation of Spirit is powerful. Better still, if you call, "Mother" it is all inclusive.
There are several methods to do so, though in essence all are the same.
In our personality there is a surface and a depth. As long as we are thinking of a problem we are on the surface. To go away from the surface we must agree to forget the problem or NOT to actively think of it. Now the problem moves to the depth where it causes a worry that does not explain itself. One can call Mother or the Spirit if he moves away from the depth.
Indians trying to adopt punctuality find it extremely powerful and useful. Some miserably fail to institute punctuality as a value in their company. They ask how to be punctual? It does not mean they do not know it. It only means they are unable to do so as the general atmosphere in the company is not conducive to punctuality. What then is the remedy? The usual answer is to go about it with a greater determination in which again many fail.
Harvey's discovery that blood circulates is a landmark in the history of medical knowledge. Harvey explains that the idea occurred to him because he considered the human body as a micro-unit of the universe. He saw the planets in the universe were in motion. Therefore, he assumed that the blood in the body too should be in motion. Sri Aurobindo says that during the Vedic period man lived in harmony with Nature. To him, the Spirit and Nature were one. Buddhism preached the renunciation of life and conquered the whole of India and later a greater part of Asia.

What happens on its own is an act of God - Grace choosing to act in our lives. It is an ideal of the tradition. For the human nature that is dynamic and full of urges, to wait for events to overcome its course is simply not possible. Whether it is difficult or impossible, it has remained a truth of life. Any great man or small man can still find it to be a better truth of his own life. That being the general status of the generality of population, there are those who take upon the discipline to wait for things to happen.
As you are inside, so you are outside. This is a truism of life. God is Infinite and Eternal, perhaps a ZERO. We are the finite. What we discover as God is not God, but what appears as God to us. The Gita says that one can become anything if only he can aspire for it. Put differently, we are today what we had aspired for earlier, subconsciously. It is very difficult for most of us to accept this. A beggar may ask if he aspired to become a beggar. One who has become bankrupt can ask if he aspired for bankruptcy. Spiritually, it is true.
The mathematics teacher asked his students what would be the result of 7 divided by 7. The class shouted ‘one'. He went on asking them, ‘what is 1000/1000, 100,000/100,000?' The classed answered, ‘one'. Next, his question was, "What is zero divided by zero?" Now the teacher would not accept ‘one' as the answer. Srinivasa Ramanujam was in that class. He rose and answered "Infinity". To mathematics teachers, 0/0 is a non-problem. To Ramanujam, zero is God and Infinity is Manifestation, the world. Bhaskaracharya proved that 0/0 is infinity.
