Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Life of Sri Maa - 24 After the Master's death, Holy Mother lost all interest in the world. Life seemed insipid and meaningless, and she wanted to give up the body. But several revelations indicated to her that her body was to be preserved to fulfil a special purpose. One day, at Jayrambati, she intensely felt the emptiness of life and asked the Master why she should keep her body any more. Suddenly in a vision, she saw a girl ten or twelve year old, dressed in red cloth, moving about in front of her. Sri Ramakrishna appeared, pointing to the girl and said: `Take her as a support and live. Many spiritual seekers will come to you.' This girl whom she later recognised in her niece Radharani, became a strong chain to bind Holy Mother's mind, always directed upward and inward, to the relative world in order to carry on Sri Ramakrishna's unfinished mission. Regarding her attachment to Radhu, as she was called, Holy Mother said: `This constant doting of mine on Radhu is a form of attachment. But I can sever it even this moment by mere wish. I do not do so only because of compassion. How can maya bind me?' ----------- Extracts from the book : Sri Sarada Devi (A biography in pictures) Advaita Ashrama, Calcutta (http://www.advaitaonline.com/). -- --------------- Email: gokulmuthu Webpage: http://www.geocities.com/gokulmuthu/ Phone: +91 80 6689904, 6689938, 6780026-9 +91 80 2384190-3 Ext. 227 +91 44 8140104 --------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
