Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
Some Pranks of the mad Chhota-Mami – 04
The Chhota-Mami had another cause of grudge against the Mother. Seeing the young boy disciples of the Mother, she would say in a sorrowful tone: “Oh, what a shame! Such fine young boys to leave their own mothers and come to the Mother to become Sannyasins! The Mother is making them abandon their nearest kith and kin! What an atrocity!” Sometimes unable to bear the sorrow of her heart any more, she would burst out to some of these boys, “This person whom you call Mother is snatching you, boys, away from the mothers who bore you. It is extremely bad of her to do so, and for you, too, to abandon your hearth and home and your dear parents.” The Mother would listen to it all and quietly smile.
