a real mother lets her son go out to search for Krsna

[Guest guest]

It is a great happiness for a mother if her son does not leave home to

search out Krsna but remains with her. At the same time, if a son does not

search after Krsna but simply remains at home, he is certainly blamed by

experienced saintly persons. Such blame certainly causes great unhappiness

for a mother. If a real mother wants her son to progress spiritually, she

had better allow him to go out searching for Krsna. The mother naturally

desires the welfare of the son. If a mother does not allow her son to search

for Krsna, she is called ma, which indicates maya. By allowing her son to go

as a sannyasi and search for Krsna, Sacimata instructs all mothers of the

world. She indicates that all sons should become real devotees of Krsna and

should not stay at home under the care of an affectionate mother.
