The new teachers who will reside in the village will spread both knowledge and the enthusiasm to earn ". Mother Easwaramma too had such noble desires. As Sai's glory began to spread far and wide, she came to Me one day and said, "Swami, I am pained to see small children of our village walking all the way to Bukkapatnam to attend school. Please construct a small school. After some time, she wanted a small hospital also to be established here.
She said she could not bear to see the mothers taking the trouble of carrying their children to Bukkapatnam for medical treatment. Accordingly I got a small hospital built. The small school that I established has become a big university today. The small hospital that I constructed has become a super specialty hospital. Her last wish was to provide drinking water to the village. She pointed out that the women had to take great pains to draw water from deep wells, which had almost dried up.
I immediately provided drinking water to the village. Eshwaramma Day Discourse 06 May Top. If you leave Puttaparthi, I will give up My life.
Please promise me that You will remain in Puttaparthi for ever. It is for this reason that I have constructed many buildings in the ashram for the comfort and convenience of devotees.
Here is the official published text from Sanathana Sarathi, June , p. But she is still continuing to move about in her physical form around Swami. Three boys sleep in Swami's room. They have also witnessed her presence.
I am telling this today because the life of ideal mothers has permanent significance. Early in the morning one day, mother Easwaramma was standing at the door in the usual form. I asked her: Why did you come?
She said: Swami i I have come here with a prayer to you. You are omnipresent and omniscient, but you have to control one thing. What is that? Swami asked. She said: 'Devotees and students offer handkerchief to you. But, heeding my prayer, please do not receive handkerchiefs from anybody. The times are not good. The handkerchief may be tainted with poisonous stuff. In the usual course, you use the handkerchief to wipe your nose and mouth only from those on whom you have confidence and trust as good devotees.
Do not accept from all and sundry. Twice she appeared in the night. The boys sleeping in my room noticed her presence. Those boys had not seen her at anytime. They wondered who the old lady could be. The key of the lift was in their hands and there was no staircase leading to the apartment.
How did she manage to come here? When the boys asked this question, Swami woke up. I went near her and asked her why she had come again. She replied, 'I cannot live without seeing you often. The moment I see you I feel happy. But no one can tell who are real devotees and who are fake. Totally dedicated devotees will be ready to carry out anything you ask them to do, but there are others who come for their own self-interest.
By coming to you they get their desires fulfilled and forget thereafter. In this matter, you should be very careful. There is no need for you to tell me. After hearing this, she laughed and left the room. I am conveying to you this episode as a direct testimony to the greatness of mother's love.
She might have given up her physical body, but she is always with Swami. She said, "I have performed many sacrifices for your sake and have done many kinds of Poojas.
I realised the proof thereof. For 40 years I was with you. My life has its fulfillment. After saying so she gave me some piece of advice, "Swami, all persons describe themselves as devotees and who are fake. Totally dedicated devotees will be ready to carry out anything You ask them to do, but there are others who come for their own self-interest.
By coming to You they get their desires fulfilled and forget You thereafter. In this manner, you should be very careful. There is no need for you to tell me". I am conveying to you this episode as direct testimony to the greatness of mother's love. Whenever she asked Me for something, she would come back and inquire if she had given any trouble.
To all devotees -who came, she used to entreat not to cause any inconvenience to Swami. She used to be very much worried whenever any minister came to have My Darshan. The situation in those days was such that even a policeman with a red cap was enough to frighten the villagers.
Easwaramma used to be much afraid of the ministers thinking they might cause some problem to Me. This was only the result of her sacred love for Me. That is the greatness of mother's love. That is why she could lead a life of fulfillment and peace. In order to propagate this sacred ideal, this day is being celebrated as Easwaramma Day. This is to emphasize that each one of you should make your mother happy. When mother is happy, Swami is happy.
The Bhagavad Gita lists seven attributes to the feminine principle: fame, wealth, speech, wisdom, intelligence, fortitude and determination. The Mother Principle, which embodies these seven potencies, is highly sacred. Wherever you turn, you will see manifestation of the feminine principle. When any person goes abroad, the first question that is put is: 'What is your mother-tongue?
The mother fosters the child in the womb and goes through all travails to protect the child. There is no greater love in the world than maternal love. Hence, the ancients accorded the highest honour to the mother and declared, 'Esteem the mother as Divine 'Maatri Devo Bhava' and esteem the father as Divine 'Pitru Devo Bhava'. For every person, the first preceptor is the mother. It is from the mother that a child learns its first word of speech, the first step in movement and many other primary lessons in behaviour.
Hence, the mother stands out as the reflected image of nature Prakriti. For the human body, the mother, father and preceptor are to be deemed as Divine. But, for the pursuit of life, the Divine is the only God. What is the inner significance of this? Mother represents nature, which is the manifest aspect of Divinity.
Mother shows the father, father takes you to the preceptor and preceptor directs you to God. That is why among mother, father, preceptor and God, mother comes first. The mother represents these two basic qualities. Mothers are the makers of a nation's future or misfortune. They should teach two lessons, fear of sin and fondness for virtues. Both of these are based on faith in God, being the inner motivator of all. If you want to know how advanced a nation is, study the mothers.
Are they free from fear and anxiety? Are they full of love towards all? Are they trained in fortitude and virtue? If you like to imbibe the glory of a culture, watch the mothers rocking the cradles, feeding, fostering, teaching and fondling the babies. Mothers must assume this responsibility and not throw it on Aayaas governess or maid. A child that is brought by the Aayaa loses essential fertilizer for growth and love.
The child is denied the best health-giving vitamin, love. VII, p. It is because of this intimate relationship with the mother that one's own country is called motherland. Similarly, one's own language is called mother tongue, not father tongue.
Among the parents, first place is given to the mother, next comes father. Even after death, she comes back and helps you in various ways. It is because of the noble feelings of the mothers that son becomes virtuous, intelligent and attains exalted positions and earns name and fame.
At times, she may be angry or have a difference of opinion, but such differences are only passing clouds. But if you sow Neem a bitter plant seeds, you will get bitter fruits. If you plant sweet mango seeds, you will get sweet mangoes.
The earth makes no difference between them. Only the differences in the seeds account for the differences among the fruits. Likewise, the womb of a mother is like the womb of Mother Earth. The thought, which prevails at the time of conception results in the kind of child that is born.
If parents desire to have virtuous, exemplary and noble children, they have to observe righteous practices and lead virtuous lives. The very nature of mother is love. Mother has a form, but love has no form. You can experience love through your mother as she is the very form of love.
Our Vice-Chancellor described Swami's love as that of a thousand mothers. But, one who cannot understand the love of one mother, how can he understand the love of a thousand mothers? So, first and foremost try to understand and experience the love of your physical mother.
Go on adding to the physical mother's love a million times. The principle of divinity lies in this love, which is your life principle. Experience this love and understand the significance of mother worship in Navaratri. Similarly, it is only after seeing the parents that one can understand the existence of God. When you love and respect your parents, only then you can understand in the love of the Divine Parents. This is what I tell you often - if you understand the 'I' principle, you will understand the 'I' in everybody.
Vyashti individual has emerged from Samashti society , Samashti from Srishti creation , Srishti from Parameshti Creator. Only when you understand the principle of creation, can you then understand the Creator. If you honour your mother, the Mother of the Universe will guard you against harm.
If you honour your father, the Father of all beings will guard you. This is as true as the fact that if you honour your parents, your children will honour you. IV, p. It is the mother who fosters you and nourishes you. It is she who knows your choices and preferences, and fulfils your needs. So, you should be grateful to your mother always. Though you cannot see Rama, Krishna, Shiva and Vishnu, you are worshipping them because you believe in scriptures and what the elders say.
But, how is that you are forgetting your parents who are responsible for your progress in life? First and foremost, you should show gratitude to your parents, love them and respect them. Your blood, your food, your head, your money are all the gifts of your parents. You do not receive these gifts directly from God.
All that is related to God is only indirect experience. It is only the parents whom you can see directly and experience their love. So, consider your parents as God. God will be pleased and will manifest before you only when you love and respect your parents.
Every child that is born owes its existence to the mother. Hence, everyone should be extremely grateful to one's mother. First pay back the debt of love to them parents. Do not behave in such a way that they repent the day when they put you to school. All other debts come later, even the debt to the motherland and mother-tongue.
Show them gratitude they deserve. Return them the love they pour freely into your hearts. Children also should revere their parents, who account for their physical existence. But they should realise what they owe to God, who is the basis of all life. Recognising this double obligation — to the mothers and to the Divine - they should redeem their lives by purposeful living.
Revere the teacher in boyhood. Please elders in his manhood. Worship sages in old ages. Hence every son has to love the mother as the primary duty. Then he should love the father and revere the preceptor. The mother confers the body. The father protects it. The preceptor imparts knowledge and wisdom.
For every human being, all these three are essential for getting on in the world. Even the Avatars, Rama, Krishna and others, owed their advent to their mothers.
Everyone should pray for sacred mothers who will bring forth good children. There may be bad sons in the world, but bad mothers are rare. Most mothers lament over the bad behaviour of their children. No son who has caused distress to his mother can come to anything good. The Telegu saying is, 'There can be no prosperity in a home where the mother sheds tears.
Today we need sons who will please their mothers. Never disrespect your mother or disappoint her. Do not hurt her feelings. Try to satisfy her in all respects. Only then the seed of devotion will sprout in you. But, if any relation becomes an obstacle in your path to God, there is no harm in leaving him or her.
But when it comes to God, everything else is secondary. On April 17, In Devotional Wing , News. Easwaramma was a tender-hearted, poor, illiterate but pious and pure lady. Over the years her home village expanded dramatically as thousands were drawn to Sai Baba. She had to broaden her concept of love, expanding it beyond the confines of family and community to embrace all as the phenomena of Sai Baba attracted more and more people.
