Question: The work of the Mother in the world is going on now, all the time now isn't it?

Mother Meera: All the time. The consciousness of mankind is being prepared for great leaps and discoveries - in a gentle way wherever possible. But some things will have to be destroyed. I do not like to destroy; I like to change things. But where there is no openness there must be destruction. However, God is giving man a great chance. Many divine persons are here. We are showing man a way out; we are offering him the Divine Light, the Divine knowledge. We are bringing down into the consciousness of the Earth the Divine consciousness. Now man must choose. Man is free; God will not force his children to do anything. He wants their free love. Mercy and Love are always there.

Question: You have brought down the Paramatman Light to help speed the work of world and individual transformation. Is there any aspect to your work other than that of bringing down the Light?

Mother Meera: I have come to say that all paths are as good as each other and all lead to the Divine, and that therefore the various believers should respect each others ways. For example, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, and other religious people can believe and follow their own faith, but should not hate or fight others faith. People who follow any path can come to me - I help them to remember the Divine, and give them peace and happiness when they are in trouble.

Question: What is your main purpose?

Mother Meera: It is to help humans and to make them happy, peaceful, contented, harmonious, and loving. Happiness and spiritual growth are connected. Being peaceful and being happy form the most important foundation of spiritual practice. Then the practice goes by itself.

Question: What is an Avatar?

Mother Meera: Avatars come from the Divine, while self-realized persons go to the Divine. Avatars are always one with God and never lose awareness of the Divine, unlike gurus who began ignorant. To become self-realized, people -- through spiritual practice, meditation, and japa -- work hard and then reap the fruit. Since they have worked strenuously, they expect others to work as they have; they do not have as much patience as do divine personalities. Also, Avatars can change things faster.
