Holy Mother By Swami Nikhilananda: 128
Spiritual Practices – 07
Sarada Devi never allowed her meditation and other spiritual practices to interfere with her daily duties. She pursued both work and worship. During her spare time she now and then made garlands for the image in the Kali temple. But she never made work an excuse for neglecting worship.
As we have already noted, Sarada Devi kept away from male outsiders. She was bashful and modest. Sri Ramakrishna approved of this and forbade even Ramlal to frequent her room. One day he sharply reprimanded Hriday for spending a long time at the Nahabat indulging in jokes and laughter.
One night she and Lakshmi were singing in a low voice. The Master heard it from outside. The next day he said to Sarada Devi: ‘Last night I heard you singing, and you seemed to be absorbed. That’s very good.’
