Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
Story of the Savoury Pithey – 01
A devotee-son of the Mother was in the habit of collecting various articles at great pains for presenting to the Mother, going even to the extent of begging for such articles of others. He was often dissuaded by his well-meaning friends from these efforts of his, as they knew that the Mother had no taste for these articles of food and they went only to feed those around her. He was even the object of their critical remarks. In spite of it he used to procure the things for making dainty preparations for the Mother and present them to her. She would receive them with great joy, offer them to the Master, and feed the devotees sumptuously with the Prasada, herself only just taking them and bestowing her praise on the preparation.
