Experiences of devotees are unbelievable for those who have not had similar experiences. Though most people readily believe, some express disbelief or exhibit indifference. One reader chose to declare that all that I write might be true but there must be another side of which I was silent. It was beyond my linguistic or intellectual abilities to explain that MOTHER'S FORCE is infallible. He said that at the age of 40 he was unemployed for over ten years and his prayer was not answered.

Life Response is a concept created based on the Realities of Life. Man grows wise learning of those realities. Their laws are inexorable. No one can overcome them. The Gods can modify their malignancy, but cannot cancel them. The theory of karma is based on it. Life is not final. Mind is greater than life. So, they said even karma can be overcome by mental illumination. The progress of the West is mainly due to their reliance on Mind disregarding the subtle realities of life. When Man subjects himself to life, he becomes superstitious.

These are great occasions in life when vast opportunities knock on one's doors. Life is strange for those who do not know it. Those who know Life, know it is not strange, but its strange ways are its very characteristics. The story of Duryodhana preferring Krishna's army to Krishna illustrates this theme. When a panel to select a vice-chancellorship was constituted, its most influential member heard of a worthy member who was a government officer. He was desirous of appointing the officer as the vice-chancellor.

The wonderful civilisation we now live in is the creation of Man. There is nothing in this world of ours that is not created by MAN. Man is the creator of his world. The society we live in and its rules are the creation of Man. Men fall into two broad categories. All are Men but there are great souls and small minds. Whatever is created in this world of human affairs is created by the great souls. The small minds make them a goal and become slaves of their own creation. MONEY tops the list.

When people are introduced to Mother, in the first few weeks they declare, "I have worked for twenty years to buy a small piece of land. Now in the last forty days, ever since I came to know HER, two big pieces of lands came to me." As they see event after event happening, their natural GOOD WILL impels them to speak of Her to everyone they know. This is not wrong, but leads one nowhere. Some people disbelieve them, others ridicule, yet others ask why they impose their faith on others. Most remain indifferent. The truth is to KNOW Mother is a spiritual privilege.

Spiritual light seen on the face is called tejas; seen in the sky is vision, as Sundaramoorthy Nayanar saw Parvathi and Paramasivan. Light is one of the twelve expressions of the Spirit and it reveals in various ways and in various degrees. The primitive man who discovered that a stone can be used as a tool received the Spiritual light as an illumination in his physical mind that was activated by the overflowing energy of the body while it was in motion. The fear-ridden superstitious villager sees the same ‘spiritual light' as will-o-the-wisp.

When something is rare, it is the general tendency to consider it divine or meant for the rare gifted. There was a time when a car was so considered. Every new invention enjoys that rare status in the beginning for some years or even some centuries.

An elderly American reading what a young American had written was surprised. He asked where he had learnt to write so well. The answer surprised him even more. "I learnt it in India." One may wonder how someone whose mother tongue is English can learn writing English from another person whose mother tongue is not English. The standard pronunciation dictionary in English was written by a Danish linguist. When Tamil scholars came from Czechoslovakia to deliver lectures in Tamil Nadu on Silapadigaram, the audience was struck by their chaste pronunciation.

Management means the capacity to produce profits in a productive venture. In 1985 it was said that each year the USA alone produced 450 books on management. In 1945 in an international conference, Peter Drucker was laughed at when he said that management was a subject. Today the world over, he is known as the father of Management Science. The wave of Tom Peters eclipsed Drucker for two decades. Management means technology and finance, nothing more. Just now there are a few hundred management techniques that are ruling the field. Most represent marketing.

It is an acknowledged fact that in matters of efficiency the USA and India are poles apart. It is an unseen truth that the native Indian efficiency is far superior to any. It is a truism of life that, if such a fact is true, somewhere, in some measure, a little of it can be seen. If Indians look for such expressions, they will certainly find something somewhere. Of course, there are many silver linings. The actual truth is we look up to American for everything. Today an eminent speaker at a convocation said, "We all want to go to the USA.
