To Prasadini on Mother's Aim

Mother does indeed have a good aim. One day I was waiting for Darshan,

and there was a little kid, about 2, sitting with his mother

near Mother. The kid was crying and crying, his mother couldn't console

him, and Mother kept asking him to come to Her, but he was in

such a state that he responded to nothing and just kept crying loudly.

Mother tossed him a Hershey's kiss and it fell right in his lap. He

instantly stopped crying. The crowd laughed. I remember Mother looked at me

and

gave me a scolding look, couldn't miss it. I never knew why. One of those

mysteries. Anyway, between witnessing that and hearing the stories of

her tossing pebbles at sleeping people during meditation, and Her

excellent overhand during Devi Bhava, we can conclude that She always hits

Her mark. Hmm. Guess that applies to everything else too. Maybe her good

throwing arm is a metaphor for a lot of other aspects of Her.

 

 

 

Dear Prasadini ~ oh what a wonderful story. I always feel, when I read some

of the personal accounts that they should be saved somewhere so that someday

someone can collect them all into a book of stories about Mother. I have never

before heard of Amma throwing pebbles at people who fall asleep. I will have

to be especially watchful of my energy because there is always a good chance

I might fall asleep anywhere, anytime if I get too tired or am in too much

pain ~ wouldn't want to get hit with a pebble. LOL The way you pulled all

these together with the story of Mother's "throwing arm" is simply wonderful.

Thank you.
