Mother and Dharma Sangha: reflections



As a Master that She was, Mother was accurate in the choice of her words, below we can read a sentence from her 2nd Vision which I wish to bring to your attention:

..."what a man at the height of his strength would find hard to achieve if he were alone, a child can accomplish almost without difficulty if he is sustained by the power and love of those who are one with him".

To refresh you memory, Mother is talking of a Vision she had, she is describing a boy, almost a child venturing himself alone into the wilderness under the moon light fearlessly. It must be somewhere in Asia around the Himalaya, so it must be jungle and tigers and wild beasts.

Surely Mother is seeing a boy determined to meditate in the jungle, and is saying that "what a man would find hard" (in the jungle, alone, no food, no shelter) "a child can accomplish" when: sustained by the power and love of those who are one with him".

Here rise a question: "who", are those "one with him"?
I think we would think about his parents and in general someone that knows him and accompany him with his thoughts and with his love.
But I think it do not answer the point of the Power.
Here is not speaking of a parental love but a love and power, none refers in such terms about the love of their parents.
So, who is sustaining him, is someone, more then one, which has not only love but power too.
Were we to suppose the boy has a human master somewhere, the sentence would read something like: ..the power and love of whom is one with him , but here it is clear Mother refers to more then one, all of them with power and love.

You know I´ve been proposing the possibility that Dharma Sangha could be the person in the vision of Mother, and if there is something which is really appealing and original in his teaching is the fact of the Sangha where that teaching has origin: a congregation of beings, as D.S. could quite substitute the I with US, because as he says, (and the very name "sangha" means that) his consciousness is kind of a "congregation of beings", the Holy Sangha of the Dharma.



There is very little possibility that all related to D.S. life is an achievement of late,
I mean, such a person surely has a long history of incarnations on earth and meditation, but this he said himself.
Awfully translated, somewhere we can read he says while meditating in the jungle about 2000 years ago he was killed by someone, realizing he had died only 75 days later. ( At about that same date another Great Master was killed in Palestine ).
So whomever is D.S., is not certainly current issue.
And such people, Great Masters which came on earth to do a Great Work, are never alone. Unseen around them there are invisible  benign presences which assist them.
Which results too from his very words.
So, one last question: was Mother seeing the Holy Sangha around Dharma Sangha?
Were those the powerful and loving beings which sustained the boy in the Vision of Mother?
You put the answer.

(I´m somehow critical on the present translation of his teaching, but here you can read some more information on his life and teaching http://www.etapasvi.com/en/ . It is a very complete page, though they do not represent the "official" organization around D.S.).
In conclusion, a renewed lecture of the text of Mother´ Visions has brought me to consider, aside of the fact that D.S. and "the boy" of her vision have great possibilities of being one same person, that we are possibly living in a very transcendental moment, as Mother linked the presence of that boy on earth with very momentous events.
