Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
Some Pranks of the mad Chhota-Mami – 02
Her daughter Radhu was the Mother’s special care, and so she and her husband took their food at the Mother’s place. But yet the great attachment that the Chhota-Mami had for her daughter and son-in-law would always prompt her to serve them some tasty dishes of her own making. But it did not end with such expressions of love. She was extremely jealous of the Mother, and had a constant grudge against her for winning over her daughter from her. She therefore often accused the Mother of this charge in her talks. When the woman pestered her too much with such accusations she would burst out, “Come and take your daughter back under your care.” The crazy Chhota-Mami would then beat a retreat. For, she knew full well that her daughter would never leave the Mother to come and stay with her, and that, besides, she lacked the means to support Radhu and her husband.
