Champaklal Speaks

“I am There”

Ever since Mother left her physical body, known and unknown persons have been asking for something touched by her. Once someone came and said, “Please give me something touched by the Mother; it will help me very much in sadhana.” I saw that he was sincere. I also remembered seeing him with Mother upstairs. Now, you know how devotees always wanted to place their head in Mother's lap but some lacked the courage to do it. To some of them I used to say, “Place your head in Mother's lap.” This person was one of them. So I asked him about it. He was so happy to recall that occasion and said: “Champaklaiji, I am very grateful to you for ever. You asked me to lay my head in Mother's lap. I would never have dared to do it myself. And how she caressed me!”

C: “Oh, then you are very fortunate. But you do not have anything touched by the Mother?”

He: “No, Champaklaiji, that is why I am praying for it.”

C: “What about your head? Has it not been touched by Mother? You are always carrying it and it remains with you all the time. Nobody can take it away from you. Is it not so?”

He: “Yes, you have opened my eyes today. I now understand how the inner life is more important than the outer.”

On a similar occasion, another person said to me: “Of course she has blessed me with both her hands. And more. First she placed her hand on her own heart and then she placed her palm on my chest, gently pressed it with one finger and said: 'See there, inside—I am there.'“

Here also I had to draw his attention to the fact that Mother's touch was stamped on his body and asked him what more he wanted. He was deeply moved; he closed his eyes and folded his hands.
