Holy Mother By Swami Nikhilananda: 135
Spiritual Practices – 14
The normal woman feels the urge of motherhood, which God has planted in her heart for the perpetuation of the creation, and also for the gradual sublimation of carnal desires. Women who are creative in body satisfy this urge through physical offspring; but a rare few, creative in spirit, satisfy the same urge through children of the spirit. Sarada Devi belongs to the later category and is therefore affectionately called Holy Mother by her disciples and by the devotees of Sri Ramakrishna. One day she said to a disciple: ‘The Master regarded all creatures as manifestations of the Divine Mother. He left me behind to give expression to this Motherhood.’
