“Can I ever abandon that one who desperately calls ‘Mother where are you, where are you?’ The one who remembers (Me) in his heart and fills his life with the Name sees nothing in the universe excepting the form of My Image.
One who does not speak of any other and is pained to see the sorrows of others,
One who remains tranquil in his own sorrow and joy and does not hearken to calumny of others,
When a child cries for his Mother and his tears flow, can I then stay away?
—- Immediately I give him the shelter of My arms.”
- One of the songs sung very often by Sri Ma’s father Bipan Bihari, which Sri Ma used to sing with him (via Chapter 16 of Life and Teachings of Sri Ma Anandamayi)
