Holy Mother By Swami Nikhilananda: 280

Chapter 12 – Spiritual Ministry : 023

God has implanted philoprogenitiveness in the hearts of ordinary mothers for the preservation of family and society. In Holy Mother’s case the same love showed her spiritual children the way to liberation from the bondage of the world.

Holy Mother’s love was not confined to her disciples alone. It was showered upon all who went to her for succor, irrespective of caste and creed, merit or demerit. She helped them with food, clothes, or medicines, according to their need. One day while she was living at Koalpara, an untouchable woman came to her and sought her help with tearful eyes. She had suddenly been discarded by her paramour, for whose sake she had left her own home, and now she was completely helpless. Holy Mother sent for the man and said to him with gentle reproval: ‘Look here, she has renounced all for your sake. And you have accepted her service for long time. It will be very sinful for you to reject her now; there will be no room for you even in the hell.’ The couple was reconciled.
