Mother As I Saw Her – Second Part
Swami Saradeshananda
22. The Substance of the Mother’s Teachings – 01
Those who had the good fortune of staying at the feet of the Mother even for a little while realised in their hearts that the Mother taught her children to have strength of character, renunciation, forbearance, faith in God, steadfastness in devotion and devotional practices, and complete dependence on the Lord under all circumstances. These she maintained, were essential for the building up of their lives. Neither in her, nor in her children, would there be found any trace of excessive emotionalism. Everyone of them would be found gentle, quiet, serene, and calm.
