1992 7 July 8 This is also Possible (413) The son· beat his mother with his tiny hands. The mother picked up the son and embraced him. What is the meaning of such conduct? It means that the act of beating was sublimated into an act of love by the mother. She put the bad action into the ‘good action slot’. She converted a deed worthy of punishment into one worthy of adoration. An incident such as this which takes place in every house, is but one example of how the qualities of Creator, e.g. forgiveness, are reflected in a mother’s behaviour. This is one of the signs of the Almighty, by which He shows how he has distributed His blessings in this world. This quality of love in the mother, was not generated by her, its provider was God. Then, if He is the Provider of these qualities, they are certain to be found in perfect form at their source.

Man does not know the hidden reality. That is why he is faced with having to bear many losses in this earthly life. His willpower is weak, he is overpowered by the superficial feelings, and he commits grave errors. He has limited resources at his disposal, and it repeatedly happens that, unable to overpower external forces, he succumbs to them. Such adverse circumstances have made man’s life into a tragedy in this world.

All the human beings living in this world suffer time to time from this feeling that they are failures. They are very conscious that they have failed to achieve what they wanted. Almost everyone in this world is a disappointed person, even although he may have well-fed body and a smiling countenance.

Can this tragedy be turned into a comedy? Is it possible that we may reach our destination in life whereas our failures are turned into successes, our faults put into the ‘reward’s slot’? The divine attribute, as we find it reflected in the heart of the mother, provides in fact a positive answer to this question. God is capable of making that event a reality on a far greater scale for His servants than that shown by a mother for her child. Through the attitude of the mother to the child, the Almighty wishes to show that He can give even this reward to the seeker, the reward of converting a No into a Yes. But this reward is only reserved for those who accord the status of the “mother” to God, and become His “son”.
