Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
Story of the Savoury Pithey – 02
One day some devotee present there, on seeing this devotee-son bringing up things procured with great difficulty and labour, remarked in a sympathetic tone, “Why do you put yourself to so much pains?” But contrary to that person’s expectation, the Mother turned her full gaze on the boy and said, “If devotees do not do so, who will make such good offerings to the Master?” These words of the Mother filled the heart of the devotee-son with great joy, and he began to visit the Mother often with various savoury preparations.
