Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!
SWAMI APURVANANDA - 15
After I had had a wash, the attendant monk led me to the next room. There was a mat, a glass of water, a heap of puffed rice on the plate and pudding made with the juice of palmyra-fruit. With my head bent and my mind preoccupied with thoughts of Mother, I finished it all. How wonderful it tasted, like nectar! I had had puffed rice with palmyra-fruit pudding so many times before, but never had it seemed to taste so delicious.
At Jayrambati Mother seemed to be really mother-like. In a white sari, grey with use, she stood awaiting my arrival with such love and compassion! When I had seen her about ten months ago at Mother’s House in Baghbazar, she had not seemed so close.
