Mother As I Saw Her – Second Part
Swami Saradeshananda
16. the Mother’s Solicitude for the physical and spiritual Welfare of Disciples – 1
A mother feeds her boys, makes them healthy and strong. This Universal Mother, too, used to feed the boys that way. It is needless to say that the Mother saw to it that the food was well cooked, tasty and clean. But she did not like any one developing gluttony or fastidiousness in matters of food. On certain special occasions some fine dishes were cooked, no doubt; but these were in small quantities. We never saw anybody getting sick after eating the food cooked by the Mother.
