Life of Sri Maa - 27

 

One day, not long after Sri Ramakrishna's death, Holy Mother was

going to Jayrambati from Kamarpukur. Her nephew Shivram, who was a mere

boy at that time, accompanied her with her bundle. As they neared Jayrambati,

he thought of something and stopped. The Mother was surprised and asked him

to follow.

Shibu: `I shall move only if you tell me something.'

Mother: `What?'

Shibu: `Will you tell me who you are?'

Mother: `Who else am I? I am your aunt.'

Shibu: `Then you can go yourself. You have come near your home. I wont go.'

Mother: `Dont be silly. Who do you think I am? I am a human being, your aunt.'

Shibu: `Very good. Then why dont you go?'

Seeing Shibu still standing there, the Mother said: `People say I am Kali.'

Shibu: `Are you really Kali? Is it true?'

Mother: `Yes.'

Shibu was pleased and said: `Let us go, then.'
