Mother As I Saw Her – Second Part
Swami Saradeshananda
11. The Mother’s way of Life – 6
We have already mentioned that the Mother considered the cooks, the bearers, the cartmen etc., as her own sons and treated them with great love, never failing to give them snacks whenever they came to her. The poor women of the locality often had no oil to apply on their head and so their hair would be stiff as hemp. If perchance they came to the Mother’s house for some purpose, the Mother would give a good quantity of oil for them to take an oil bath and a heavy snack of puffed rice and molasses.
