"God, as Divine Mother, always watches over His children, peeping out of the loving hearts of all true mothers. God's unconditional mercy is expressed in the mother figure. The mother's instinctive love and kindness, prone to forgiveness whatever the child does, shows us that God will ultimately forgive the sins of all human beings. That is why I prefer to perceive God not as the severe Divinity of some prophets, but as the Divine Mother waiting to forgive everyone and bring them back to Her after their voluntary wanderings along the error-strewn paths of many incarnations." Paramahansa Yogananda
