We become the thoughtlessly and joyfully aware children of the Adi Shakti. We are part and parcel of this on-going Divine Plan, complex, diverse and simple. We are spreading the Fragrance of God while longing for the force of gravity that is keeping us grounded to the Divine Mother.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIn the last few days I was introduced more deeply than ever to the amazing beauty of the Canadian sky, the canvas for the breath-taking, colourful and playful nature of Mother Earth. I was watching in awe &#8211; sometimes in the mornings, sometimes during the day, sometimes in the evenings &#8211; the display of ethereal arts. These were moments when one could say, \u201cThat&#8217;s it!&#8221; Meditation started simply by a glance at the Sky, just because God was there, present in the upper Present.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nAll these days I have wanted to share these simple joys, found above, of clouds and horizons and celestial objects, sometimes soft, surreal portals of Divine Creativity. It was almost like taking a peek into the Adi Shakti&#8217;s work of creating the world, witnessing Genesis again and again, in a variety of versions.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nAnother lesson-experience from the sky was that sometimes Oneness feels not completely self-sufficient if it is not also collective. It triggers the built-in need, based on Love, to gather all the people and pull them in so that the One becomes the Whole. In a complete collective of Love it becomes merely Existence, because each single time the need to share was there. And in a way, I was given the answer to the question, &#8220;Why the Creation?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whole world is created because there was love,&#8221; Shri Mataji has said. &#8220;Sahaja Yoga means &#8216;We are One&#8217;.
