Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Dear Devi Bhakta, What you say is so true indeed. There are people in all religions who through the touch of God become universal and look at everyone as the same. The Holy Mother was indeed full of love and kindness. She was not emotional but very dignified. A small act on her part and the reassuring words I realize now were like balm to the soul and healing for the predicament I was in. Yes, it was all a normal part of her day to be doing this. Yet, decades later, her words live, " This is how Jesus used to drink water " . Yours in the Divine Mother Namaste and love to all Harsha DB wrote: > Thank you Harsha: > > Waterville Maine in 1965! God bless you!

It is a tribute to her (and to you) that you have memorialized one of her small acts of kindness all these decades later. > > For those of us who may sometimes doubt that our small, simple acts could possibly matter in the immensity of time and space, this story is a reminder: It is precisely those acts that ultimately matter the most. > > aim mAtangyai namaH > > > > , Harsha wrote: > >> Dear Friends: >> >> I have told the following personal story verbally to my friends many >> times.
