Description
Śrī Śāradā Devī embodied the ideal of the all-embracing Mother. Her love knew no bounds—she saw every being as her child.
“Child, God is omnipresent. If you seek Him earnestly, you will see Him in the heart of all.”
– Holy Mother reminds us that the Divine pervades every creature and thing.
“Love all, serve all, help ever, hurt never.”
– Though often attributed to her spiritual circle, this succinctly sums up her spirit of compassion.
2. Service as Worship
For Śrī Śāradā Devī, selfless service (seva) was not merely charity but a direct offering to the Divine Mother Herself.
“Offer everything—your actions, your thoughts—to the Mother. Then work will become worship.”
“If you want peace of mind, serve others with a loving heart; you will find peace within yourself.”
3. Purity of Heart and Mind
She emphasized inner purity above ritualistic observance. A pure mind, free of selfish motives, is the true altar for the Divine.
“True purity is not in external ceremonies but in the purity of one’s thoughts and intentions.”
“Child, keep your heart clean; then you will feel the presence of Mother everywhere.”
4. Faith and Surrender (Śraddhā and Śaraṇāgati)
Śrī Śāradā Devī counseled deep faith and complete surrender to God’s will as the surest path to spiritual fulfilment.
“Be bold in your faith. Surrender all worries to the Mother, and She will guide you safely.”
“Surrender is the key that opens the door to Divine Grace.”
5. On Prayer and Mantra
She taught simple, heartfelt prayer over elaborate formulas, and encouraged the repetition of a single divine name.
“Pray with all your heart—even a single heartfelt prayer will bring peace.”
“Chant the name of the Mother again and again; let the name dance on your lips.”
6. Harmony of Religions
Raised in a traditional Hindu milieu yet closely associated with interfaith dialogue, she upheld the essential harmony of all spiritual paths.
“Truth is one; saints call it by various names.”
“Whether you call Him Allah, Christ, or Rama, it is the same Supreme Reality.”
7. Practical Spirituality
Above all, Holy Mother’s teachings were deeply practical: she urged her children to bring spirituality into daily life.
“Wake up, bathe, light the lamp, then sit in silence for a few minutes in prayer.”
“Perform your duties cheerfully and remember God in every action.”
