Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!
HOLY MOTHER – A TALK - 15
SWAMI ASESHANANDA
It is because of Chandra that I became so very devoted to Swami Saradananda and dedicated to his service. Chandra told me one day that he went to Holy Mother and said to her in all sincerity, “Mother I want to serve you.” And Mother said, “No, my child, Sarala2 is there. (2Sarala later became Pravrajika Bharatiprana, the President of the Sarada Math.) But you go and serve my child Sharat. If you are loyal, steadfast and sincere in your service to him, you will attain brahmajnana. Anyone who will serve Sharat in such a manner will reach the highest.” And that is the reason why I did not like to go anywhere leaving Swami Saradananda. As long as this great soul allowed me to serve him, I wanted to be near him. The Swamis used to go to Allahabad for Kumbh Mela, and Swami Saradananda one time asked me if I would like to go, that many Swamis would assemble there. I said, “Maharaj, I am quite content here, I do not want to go anywhere.”
