Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!
Mother’s palms were rosy. Many have had the opportunity to see them. The soles of her feet were also rosy – tinged just like land-lotuses. She had long, thick, black hair, smooth and shining like fine silk, slightly curled in the front. The straight, long nose on her well-formed face was indescribably beautiful. Her eyes were tranquil, steady, and full of compassion, continuously showering love on us all. The very sight of her forehead, broad and gleaming, and her gracious look soothed one’s heart. Her complexion, initially a golden brown, dulled with age. She was tall, with fairly long limbs. She walked slowly leaning a little to the left. Later her knees grew rheumatic.
Mother loved all her sons equally well, whether sannyasin or householder. When her householder-sons came to her, they were never conscious of any discrimination on her part – that her affection for them fell short of that for the renunciates. Mother’s sympathy and compassion would considerably reduce their misery and add to their joy and enthusiasm in their life’s journey. Mother used to enquire about their property, family members, daily work and the state of affairs in the household. If they placed before her any of their problems, she listened attentively and guided them as to their duties and the course of action to be taken.
