Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
The Mother’s Way of Teaching – 06
She helped her disciples to think of the Master alone and centre their lives in Him, though she gave them different Mantras and different Ishtams (Chosen deities) according to their nature and competence. A simple-minded and unsophisticated child of hers might like to meditate only on her as his or her Ishtam. The Mother would then explain: “My son, devotees say that in me, there is only the Master.” That filled the heart of the devotee with joy. The intimate and long-standing devotee-sons of the Mother would often bring home this teaching of the Mother to the raw young men coming newly to the Mother without understanding of the oneness of the Mother with the Master.
