Life of Sri Maa - 30

 

One evening, when a disciple went to the Udbodhan, Holy Mother kindly

asked him to spread her small carpet on the floor and fetch her rosary. The

Mother soon became absorbed in meditation. Across the lane was an open space.

A few labourers lived there in their huts with their families. One of the

men began to beat a woman severely. Holy Mother could not proceed with her

meditation. Though she was extremely shy, and would not usually talk loud

enough to be heard by people on the ground floor, she now went to the porch

of the first floor, stood by the iron railing, and cried aloud in a tone of

sharp reprimand: `You rouge! Are you going to kill the woman outright? I am

afraid she is already dead!' Hardly did the man looked at her when he became

still, like a snake before a charmer, and left the woman alone. The Mother's

sympathy made the woman burst into loud sobs. Her only fault was that she had

not cooked the meal in time. Afterwards, the man wanted to make peace with her.
