Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!
SWAMI SARADESHANANDA-24
In the beginning many had doubted whether Swamiji’s founding the Ramakrishna Mission and engaging the sadhus in the service of mankind was in keeping with the spirit of Ramakrishna’s teachings. They had raised this question before Mother from time to time. Sometimes she would say, “All this work is Master’s work.” At other times she would say, “Son, work for your living. If you don’t work who will feed you? Wandering about in the sun with a begging bowl will cause your head to reel. If you don’t eat properly, you will fall ill. Don’t pay heed to such remarks. Work, eat well, sing the praises of God.”
