Worship every God and incarnation
Christmas approaches, and with it the remembrance of the holy mother’s suffering and joy. Candles are lit, one already burned, the second soon. People prepare sweets and good things, thinking of Jesus. After Diwali comes Christmas, just as devotion shifts from Krishna to Jesus. Jesus was born among animals, not in a house, because of the mother. Every mother, whether of a god or a simple being, suffers greatly in birth. The cow giving birth also feels pain and then love for her calf. Worship of God must begin with worship of the mother. God is present in all beings—animals, birds, fish. Creatures eat one another and feel pain, but humans are given to sense the pain of others. Yet some humans kill animals and call it ceremony; that cannot be true worship. Hanuman tore his chest to show Rama and Sita in his heart. Similarly, the Sacred Heart of Jesus is shown as a symbol of love. The light of Christmas brings happiness, like Diwali’s light. Before sleep and upon waking, think on the holy mother. Then the divine child will come, not as a baby but as God. Respect all religions; be human first.
"If you worship God, then first worship the mother."
"God is that which is said to be in all animals, birds, fish, and all other creatures."
