Shri Mataji talks about Poetry
“You see now I will tell you one thing about poetry. In the poetry, poetry means there has to be magic in the words.”
…
“So when you write about your Mother, you have to be absolutely sure, absolutely one and absolutely surrendered. So the whole thing can be an epic. Absolutely the topmost thing that one can do in poetry is to write the praise of the Mother. That’s the highest. So all the poetry is very nice, comes out of very generous heart and also very great hearts. But it has to have a technique. The technique is to be little bit understood in a Divine way. That, what makes it a thing that throbs in your heart. So that you will see yourself that will throb in your heart. If you are detached about it you will do it. You do it very well. I was so happy about Chris’s. I told them, it is Chris Wekfield who has written to Me. They thought that it is Chris [INAUDIBLE] from Bristol. I said all right, let me ask first of all with Chris from Bristol. Beautiful poetry, beautifully done. All right.
So best of luck to you for all these good poems and poetries that you have done. And, all these pieces are extremely beautiful, but we have to perfect it. Make it better and better and in tune with Divine vibrations. We should see vibrations also. What gives you the best vibrations? Tunes could be simple, could be complicated, could be magical, could be any thing. But the poetry must not narrate, but create magic. Sanskrit it is said any thing there is Chamatkar and there is magic. Chamatkar is the light of the magic.”
