Mother's Message by Saint Maiji

MOTHER’S MESSAGE OF UNIVERSAL RELIGION OF MAI-ISM

Mother commanding, I announce Mother’s Message of Mai-ism, which is the new rationalistic psychological universal religion for one and all of any religion, or no religion, without caste, creed or colour. With full respect to and following of one’s own religion, one can be a Hindu Mai-ist, a Jain Mai-ist, a Christian Mai-ist, a Zoroasterian Mai-ist, a Mohammedan Mai-ist and so on. Mai-ism is one’s own personal religion to be adopted after the age of discretion and not necessarily, one’s ancestral religion by birth.

            The six tenets of Mai-ism are:--

            (1) God is more merciful when approached as Mother.

            (2) Mother is mother of all without caste, creed or colour.

            (3) Mother smiles, on one’s trying to love all, to one’s best.

            (4) Mother saves, on one’s trying to serve all with one’s best.

            (5) Mother shows (Her Grace), on one’s devotion to Her.

            (6) Mother serves, on one’s living the life of universal Love and Service, with Devotion to

                  Her and Unconditional, Cheerful, Self-Surrender to Mother’s Divine Will.

MAI-ISTIC CONCEPTION

Mai-ism has its origin in the Motherhood conception of God Almighty. Mother is the very same God whom the world has worshipped till now, mainly as Father. Mother is sexless and therefore beyond being He, She or It and is therefore the very same as Father.

Mai-ism offers to the world, in these most tempestuous times, when the world needs highest mercy of the Almighty, the conception of the Universal Mother to be worshipped by one and all, who are universal-minded, religious, God-fearing and God-loving, without the smallest departure or distraction from one’s own birth-religion in its truest form.

A universal evil needs a universal remedy and the Grace of the universally-acknowledged Common Parent of one and all – The Merciful Mother Parent – The Universal Mother worshipped by Mai-ists.

A universal prayer offered to a universally-conceived universally-acknowledged, universal Almighty has its own undreamt-of miraculous efficiency, followers of individual delimited vision can never imagine.

One who does not believe in God but does believe in the common tie of humanity and practices service and extends love to all is a Mai-ist, because he is a follower of Mai in one of Her aspects as one Universal Soul, one Universal consciousness, or one Universal cosmos, like unto the continuous string through rosary beads, subjecting every one of the universe to the slightest influence anywhere in the whole.

(Mother) Mai is not Maya or the Illusion-Creator, not Shakti or Power requiring a separate Controller, not Father's wife, not the fifth Hindu Deity, not Mother Kali, not Mother Mary, not God's Handmaid, not demon's Slayer, not Mother that is pleased with animal or human sacrifices, not Mother of thieves and dacoits, not Mother of rebels and revolutionaries, not Mother of Black-Magicians, Ugra-Sadhakas, Ghata-Kanchukis, Deva-Dasis or Vamacharis.

Mother is essentially the ocean of Infinite Love and Mercy. Mother is human mother vested with omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence and raised to Infinity and God-hood. Mai is to the Mai-ist what a human mother is to her child.

Under Mai-ism, there is no place, by its very postulates, for the condemnation of Harijans as untouchables. Woman's subjugation by man or condemnation by routine religion as Narakasya Dwaram "Hell's Gate” has no room, as every Mai-ist is expected to look upon every woman (except his own wife) as a representative form of Mother and as under Mai-ism the union of man and woman in the Mother’s worship is the highest spiritualising force. The spirit underlying the words "Heathen, Kafir, Mlechcha, Durvan" etc., has no existence under Mai-ism.

If the universe is to be made a hatredless happy home, and if love, mercy and other qualities of heart, (the bankruptcy of which has been so keenly felt in the present world) are to reappear, Motherhood of God is the most favourable aspect. Under Fatherhood, the world has been run practically as a rigid-disciplined office.

Mother is the creator, nourisher and re-arranger of universes. Mother is the holder of the universe with Her wonderful powers of desire, knowledge and action. Mother is the soul of all sublimity, beauty, compassion and mercy. Mother is the master of Nature, Divine Law, Providence, Fate, Time, Primal Desire, Force, Evolution and what atheists call Chance. Mother is Guru (Master) and Mother is kundalini or the serpentine power. Mother is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. Mother is sportivity, beneficence and bliss. Mother is beyond being personal or impersonal, beyond being with or without qualities and powerful to do or undo and undo or do in the most wonderfully never-imagined manner.

Basic beliefs of a Mai-ist are:--

(1) Unity of all religions.
(2) Universal relation of all human beings as members of one family.
(3) No communalism. No provincialism. No nationalism and no racialism.
(4) For Mother's Love, Grace, Devotion and Mercy, the daily practice of universal sisterhood and brotherhood, an indispensable requirement.
(5) Every one to have the right of selecting one's own line of evolution.
(6) Precise evolution of essentials and non-essentials of one's religiosity, with test-stones of fundamental and eternal truths.
(7) Religion not to be permitted being made a cause for disunion, domination, prejudice, exploitation or superstition, and not to fail respecting science, reason, conscience, experience, human psychology and individual merits and demerits.
(8) One's own superiority to be least thought of, being trivial, transitory, circumstantial and not single handedly earned.
(9) Not making most of little differences of high and low, which are often prejudicial and sometimes even imaginary.
(10) One's cheerfulness never to be lost as nothing is irreparable or unachievable under Mother's Grace.
(11) Be ever optimistic. The highest difference between man and a man is nothing compared to what Mother's Grace can make him in a moment. A sinner can be saint at the second moment and a saint may turn to be a devil after a day.
(12) Destruction is for re-construction, doubting for believing, evil for good, sinfulness for sinlessness.
(13) Rise above all superstitions. There is no “choo-mantar” (magic) for a true Mai-ist except repetition of “Jai Mai”, Guru's Grace, Mother's Mercy, one's own highest exertion and world's sympathy.
(14) Mai-ist's highest initial grounding: -- Motherhood of God, Universality.
Mai-ist's highest life-maxims: -- Love, service, devotion, unconditional and cheerful self- surrender to Mother's Divine Will.
(15) Mai-ist's highest sin: -- Loveless-ness and Harmful-ness to another, by thought, word or deed.
Mai-ist’s highest merit: -- Serving another onwards towards the spiritual goal or through temporal difficulties, in every moral, legal, legitimate and harmless manner.

HINDU MOTHER AND MAI

Hindus have the first privilege of originating the Mother conception. They have left no homage unpaid to Mother and they have addressed God first as Mother. Hindus have appreciated Mother's might in destroying evils which none else can eradicate. Mai-ism is fully indebted to Hinduism for Mother conception and yet the Hindu Mother's conception is not the same as Mai's. An average Hindu has before him the picture of an invincible Power, which if pleased enthrones one in heaven and if displeased buries him in hell. The ideal of Mother's Love to Her child, though not absent, has been extremely rare. Mother under Hinduism is a personification of Power and not the Mother who loves Her child. The popular conception about Mother has been that of a deity, though benign but yet of sternness, terror and destructivity. Adoration for Hindu Mother is an outcome of fear of Her displeasure and the easy procurability of one's desire through Her.

The Hindu ideal of Mother has awfully degenerated as times have rolled. Mai-ism aspires to re-install and rejuvenate Hindu Mother in Her True, Universal, Merciful and Motherly aspect.

The religious ideal which can suit the modern world is one that can take the whole humanity in its embrace, which can respect and give a free play to Conscience, Reason, Experience and Science, which would allow every man to live well and teach letting others live well, which will ensure a perfect freedom for every soul to work out its own salvation in its own way, which will teach maintaining sense of proportion and proper evaluation of essentials and non-essentials of a religion, which would develop the faculty of judging all actions and actors, not by their positional values, but by the tests of the fundamental they satisfy, which would guide without intimidation and mental enslavement, which would make one free from the poison of the over-consciousness of superiority and inferiority of man to man, and lastly, which would develop the spirit of practical sisterhood and brotherhood in the daily routine of life.

Mai-ist’s religious ideals are:--

(1) Delimit God as little as possible.
(2) Get rid of all adornments and adjuncts at the stage when they are found to be obstructive.
(3) Every one of us is under the direct protection and guidance of God.
(4) Relation of man to man must be hundred times much better. Be we first a man, then a brother and there after alone, a religious man.
(5) Religion should not be a source of superstition.
(6) Religion is to be essence and experience of the life lived.
(7) Preachers are to be Witnesses and not lawyers.
(8) Religion should be accommodative, attractive, constructive and progressive.
(9) Religion must have a definite form and should not be an idealistic, incomprehensible, chaos-creating, airy and hazy something. Religion must provide for pruning from age to age. 

             Mai-ist's devotional ideal is:--

“Practice feeling that you are a child – a child whom Mother could not but accept, however wicked. You automatically get confidence, you regain your innocence, purity and sincerity and you raise yourself above world-wormness, sexuality and selfishness. You are off your cares, time is eternity for you and life is lightened. Be Mother's child and Her lap shall be thrilling and throbbing to have you on itself.”

Some of the practical measures for practical Mai-ists are:--

(1) Holding common prayers, Bhajans or Kirtans of God in any name or form and of any saints or devotees, holding classes, delivering lectures and undertaking tours for the general spiritual uplifts.

(2) Introducing common prayers in Schools, Colleges and in masses.

(3) Holding Mother-worship, personal or impersonal in any form, as may be agreed upon by one and all.
(4) Convening socials of sisters or brothers or combined or of families, without caste, creed or colour. 
(5) Promulgation of common religious and allied literature and encouragement of studies of all religions by individuals of different religions. Publication of extracts from sacred books of all religions. 
(6) Helping poor or bereaved families, deserving students, orphanages, opening celibate Mai-ist’s Schools, starting widow-homes, offering medical aid to needy, guiding wedded pairs towards spiritual matrimonial living, praying for the peace of the departing or departed souls, etc. 
(7) Promotion of immensely practical universal  sisterhood and brotherhood in daily life.
(8) Abolition of racial, national, provincial, social and religious prejudices and intersession for bringing about honourable peace and equitable compromise. 
(9)  Constructing, opening or encouraging to open Mother's Lodges, Temples, Homes and Colonies under any denomination religious, national or communal, of any people, in any place.

The process of evolution for Mother’s followers on attainment of Guru’s Grace and Mother’s Mercy is as under:--

(1) Acquisition of merit (Punya) by doing religious acts, Japa, worship, charity, service, etc., which will lead in the first instance to the fulfilment of legitimate and moral desires, next to patience and proofness, and then to the appreciation of the virtuous, religious and saintly people and their ways of living.

(2)  The actions and qualities of Love, Service, Devotion and Self surrender having fairly matured by practice, Mother will so bring about circumstances and opportunities that the follower will be lifted up from his routine and worldly life and will be ushered into the company of virtuous, religious, devotional and saintly people.

(3) Constant contact of religious people, and their Service, their Imitation and their Grace will create a good understanding of good and evil, truth and untruth, righteousness and unrighteousness, etc., and these will introduce one to godliness after sufficient practice and disciplinary training in goodness, virtue, etc.

(4) This introduction to godliness will ultimately result in the great liking for godliness, virtuous, devotional, unselfish and higher living and finally in the germination of Love towards God.

(5) Devotion to and Love of God will perfect the true understanding about soul-knowledge and will bring the Supreme Self of God and the individual self of the follower much nearer, through faith and conviction strengthened by Mother, often through miraculous Grace.

(6) Love of God will result in the Love of God’s creation.

(7) Feeling the finger and hand of God in all arrangements, getting the sight of God occasionally, feeling oneness with God on self-surrender, and inward satisfaction of  “having been accepted”.

(8) Establishing a perpetual relation with God and helping God in all grand work with Power and Love which God is pleased to confer.

(9) Merging in Mother.
