Life of Sri Maa - 37

 

Yogin-ma, one of the intimate companions of the Holy Mother, once

felt some doubt and said to herself, `Sri Ramakrishna was the embodiment of

renunciation, and Mother is engrossed in the world, preoccupied day and night

with the thought of her brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces.'

One day, soon after, she was seated on the bank of Ganga, meditating, when

Sri Ramakrishna appeared in a vision before her. The Master said: `Do you

see what is being carried by the water of the Ganga?' Yogin-ma saw the corpse

of a new-born baby, smeared with blood, and with the placenta still attached

to it. She also saw that thousands of people were offering worship to the

holy water of the river. The Master said to Yogin-ma: `Can anything make the

Ganga impure? Regard her [meaning Holy Mother] in the same way. Never have any

doubt about her. Remember she is not different from this [meaning himself].'
