Holy Mother By Swami Nikhilananda: 213

In a Domestic Setting – 10

In spite of their being greedy, Kali and Prasanna once in a while had glimpses of Holy Mother’s real nature. On one occasion Prasanna remarked: ‘Our sister is a veritable goddess! What hasn’t she done to keep us alive! As a child, she husked paddy for us, made sacred threads, fed the cattle, and cooked the meals. For the most part she alone managed the household.’ To Sarada Devi he said: ‘Do I not understand how precious you are! I see it all, but I cannot be nice to you for fear of arousing Kali’s jealousy. Please bless me so that we may have you as our sister in future births, as we have now. As for me, I want nothing else.’ Holy Mother replied: ‘Catch me coming to your family again! I have had enough of it this time. To come again to you! The idea!’
