Holy Mother By Swami Nikhilananda: 275

Chapter 12 – Spiritual Ministry : 018

One disciple found it impossible to control his mind and said to the Mother with great anguish: ‘Mother, either remove my inner restlessness or take back your mantra.’ Her eyes became filled with tears at the disciple’s suffering and she said fervently: ‘All right, you not have to repeat the mantra any more.’ These words frightened him and he thought that his relationship with her was severed once and for all. He said: ‘You have taken away everything from me! What shall I do now? Does it mean that I am going to hell?’ Holy Mother said in an animated voice: ‘What do you mean? You are my child; how can you go to hell? Those who are my children are already free. Even Providence cannot send them to hell.’
