Inhabit, Light!
By Sushmita Mukherjee — Apr 24, 2025
The Word, ‘inhabit’, opens at a Given Moment, on a Chosen Day, and triggers this: a Prayer. We are creatures of habits, till we no longer are: when we realise and refuse to be that anymore, when we realise that these habits, formed through unknown lives in unknown forms, are inhibiting inhabitants of the Temple within. We want to consecrate the Temple to the Deity within, to the Divine Mother. But these in habit, that inhabit, these are very, and naturally, sticky inhabitants marring and clouding even our speech too, along with each movement of our being. And so, to Her we offer our difficulty, and Her invoke, assured by Her Affirmations and showers of Her Grace….

Meaning: Meaning?
By Sushmita Mukherjee — Oct 15, 2024
Our earthly existence, our day-to-day living, is filled with and formed of, hugely, the pursuit of Meaning — of what not, meaning of words, meaning of happenings, etc. Perhaps, this search has manifested and is still manifesting as various branches of ‘academic disciplines.’ And all this search for meanings, leading perhaps invariably to the search for the meaning of one’s own being, now finds Meaning in search of its own meaning: Meaning seeks itself, seeks the meaning of its continuance as an eternal ‘present continuous’.

Neutrally positive positively neutral
By Sushmita Mukherjee — Jan 15, 2020
“Our Centre is neutrally positive, positively neutral — a positive without any negative.” What to make of this, a received flash? Is it an intuitive dawning or an intellectual arrival, at that moment, rising as a hitherto unseen and unrealised dimension and expansion as the received? The query arises, maybe because of many reasons, of which, two are prominent. One being the ‘human’ tendency to be always ‘right’, and another, which makes its presence felt as the yearning to be ever guided by the ‘highest order’, the Will of the Divine, the Centre, yearning for the constant conscious reception and transmission as per the Central Will — more so, when one has even once, however fleetingly, experienced the Guidance…

Transforming desire to divine aspiration, an energy transformation
By Sushmita Mukherjee — Jul 15, 2019
Desire is the seed that grows into misery, rendering life dis-eased with its all-encompassing pains. Yet, desire is also that energy which gets us going — overcoming the inertia of lethargy and procrastination — to find and march towards our mission. So, how to distil and crystallize its positive aspect and filter out the negative? In this material plane, every aspect has inbuilt dualities, presenting a challenging opportunity to utilise them, instead of getting overawed and overridden by them. Everything, subtle and gross, a unique energy vibration made manifest, the moment, by Divine Grace, we elevate its level — evolving the consciousness — the negative transforms to the positive, losing its identity thus. Likewise, desire gets overhauled and transformed to divine aspiration, the transformation, an energy transformation.
