I TURN towards Thee who art everywhere and
within ail and outside ail, intimate essence of all and
remote from ail, centre of condensation for ail energies,
creator of conscious individualities: 1 turn towards
Thee and salute Thee, O liberator of the worlds, and,
identified with Thy divine love, I contemplate the earth
and its creatures, this mass of substance put into forms
perpetually destroyed and renewed, this swarming mass
of aggregates which are dissolved as soon as constituted,
of beings who imagine that they are conscient
and permanent individualities and who are as ephemeral
as a breath, always alike or almost the same, in their
diversity, repeating

WE salute Thee, O Lord, with adoration and joy and
we give ourselves to Thee in a gift constantly renewed, so that Thy will may be
done on the earth and in all places in this world.
Turning towards Thee our thought is mute, but our
heart exults, for Thou shinest in everything, and

the smallest grain of sand can be an occasion for
adoration.
We bow down before Thee, we unite with Thee,
O Lord, in a love without limit and full of an
ineffable beatitude.
O give to all this sovereign joy.

ANY idea, however powerful, however profound
it be, if repeated too often, expressed too
constantly, becomes dull, insipid, valueless...The
highest concepts lose their bloom after a time, and
the intelligence which delighted in transcendent
speculations feels suddenly an imperious need to
give up all its reasoning and its philosophy, and con-
template life with the marvelling gaze of a child,
caring no more to know anything of its past science,
even though it were a science sovereignly divine.
It is true to say that the divisions of time are purely
arbitrary, that the date assigned to the renewal of
the year varies according to latitudes, climate,
habits, and is

FOR a long time, O Lord, my pen was silent...
Yet Thou gavest me hours of unforgettable
illumination, hours when the union between the
dost divine Consciousness and the most material
had become perfect, hours when the identification
of the individual being with the universal Mother and of the universal Mother with Thee was so

complete that the individual consciousness perceived
simultaneously its own existence, the life of the
whole universe and Thy eternity beyond all
change. Beatitude was at its height in an ineffable
and infinite peace, consciousness was luminous and
immeasurable, complex and yet single, and existence
all-powerful

ALTHOUGH my whole being is in theory consecrated
to Thee, O Sublime Master, who art the life, the light and the love in all
things, I still find it hard to carry out this consecration in detail. It has
taken me several weeks to learn. that the reason for this written meditation,
its justification, lies in the very fact of addressing it daily to Thee. In this
way I shall put into material shape each day a little of the conversation I have
so often with Thee, I shall make my confession to Thee as well as it may be, not
because I think I can tell Thee anything—for Thou art Thyself everything, but
our artificial and exterior way of

SUDDENLY, before Thee, all my pride gave way. I understood how futile it was to wish to surmount oneself in Thy Presence...and I wept, wept .
abundantly and without constraint, the sweetest tears of my life...Yes, how sweet they were, what a repose
and calm they gave, the tears that I shed before Thee
without any shame or constraint! Was it like a child
in the arms of its father? But what a Father! What
sublimity, what magnificence, what immensity of
understanding! And what power, what plenitude in
the response! Yes, those tears were like a holy dew.
Was it so because it was not over my own trouble that
I wept? Ah, what sweet, what beneficent tears, which

TO Thee, Supreme Dispenser of all boons, to Thee who justifiest
life by making it pure, beautify and good, to Thee, Master of our destinies and
goal
of our aspirations, was consecrated the first minute of this new year.
May it be wholly glorified by this consecration; may those who hope to attain
Thee seek Thee in the right way; may those who seek Thee find Thee, and may
those who suffer without knowing where lies the remedy feel Thy life piercing little by little the hard crust of their obscure consciousness,
I bow down with a deep devotion and limitless gratitude before Thy

LORD, Thou heapest Thy benefits upon me. Now that this being expects nothing, desires
nothing from life, life brings to it its most precious
treasures, those treasures which men covet. In all
the domains of individuality. Thou loadest me with
Thy boons, mental, psychical and even material.
Thou hast placed me in abundance, and abundance
appears to me as natural as poverty, and does not
cause me a greater joy; for, often, in poverty, the
spiritual life was for me more intense and conscious; but I perceive very well this abundance, and my
individual being, whom Thou loadest thus with Thy
boons, prostrates itself before Thee with an ineffable
gratitude.

IT seems to me that we have entered into the heart of Thy sanctuary and become aware of Thy
will itself. A great joy, a deep peace reign in me,
and yet all my inner constructions have vanished
like a vain dream, and I find myself now before
Thy immensity, without any frame or system, like
a being not yet individualised. All that past, in its
external form, appears to me ridiculous and arbitrary, and yet I know that it was useful in its time.
But at present all is changed: a new stage has
begun.
