Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!

THE HOLY MOTHER : OUR ETERNAL HAVEN - 15
SISTER NIVEDITA

The same trait came out again one evening, when in the midst of her little circle, the Holy Mother asked my Guru-Bhagini [Sister Christine] and myself to describe to her a European wedding. With much fun and laughter, personating the “Christian Brahmin”, and again the bride and bridegroom, we complied. But we were neither of us prepared for the effect of the marriage vow.

“For better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health – till death do us part,” were words that drew exclamations of delight from all about us. But none appreciated them as did the Mother. Again and again she had them repeated to her. “Oh the Dharmmi words! The righteous words!” she said. [MIASH (The Master As I Saw Him) , 8th edition, 1959, pp. 138-146]
