Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 In a Sunday afternoon talk in New York in June 1900 Sri Ramakrishna's direct disciple said: "Of all feminine types in India, the mother is pre-eminent. The mother stands by her child through everything. Wife and children may desert a man, but his mother never! Mother, again, is the impartial energy of the universe, because of the colorless love that asks not, desires not, cares not for the evil in her child, but loves him the more. .... "Eternal, unquestioning, self-surrender to Mother alone can give us peace. Love Her for Herself, without fear or favor. Love Her because you are Her child. See Her in all, good and bad alike. Then alone will come "sameness" and Bliss Eternal that is Mother Herself when we realize Her thus. Until then, misery will pursue us. Only resting in Mother are we safe."
