Quotes of Sarada Devi

As wind removes a cloud, so does the name of God disperse the cloud of

worldliness

As you smell the fragrance of a flower by handing it or the smell of

sandalwood by rubbing it against a stone, so you obtain spiritual awakening

by constantly thinking of God.

One must be patient like the earth. What iniquities are being perpetuated on

her! Yet she quietly endures them all.

Each has to get the result of the actions one has earned for this life. A pin at

least must prick where a wound from a sword was due.

You see, my son, it is not a fact that you will never face danger. Difficulties

always come, but they do not last forever. You will see that they pass away

like water under a bridge.

2/3

Dont be afraid. Human birth is full of suffering and one has to endure

everything patiently, taking the name of God. None, not even God in human

form, can escape the sufferings of body and mind.

I tell you one thing my child if you want peace, do not find fault with

others. Rather, see your own faults. Learn to make the world your own. No

one is a stranger, my child; the whole world is your own.

1920)

To err is human. One must not take that into account. It is harmful for oneself.

One gets into the habit of finding fault

To make mistakes is mans very nature; but few of those who criticize know

how to correct them.

It is in the very nature of man to see defects. You should learn to appreciate

virtues. Man is no doubt liable to err, but you must not take notice. If you

constantly find fault with others, you will see faults alone. `Do not look at

the faults of others lest your eyes should become vitiated.

Do not look for faults in others, or your own eyes will become faulty.

Let me tell you how to love all equally, said Mother. Do not demand

anything from those you love. If you make demands, some will give you more

and some less. In any case you will love more those who give you more and

less those who give you less. Thus your love will not be the same for all. You

will not be able to love all impartially.

After someone finished her sweeping and threw the broom into a corner,

Mother said, How strange, my dear! The work is finished, and you throw it

away carelessly. It takes almost the same time to put it away slowly and

carefully as to throw it away. Should you despise a thing just because it is

insignificant? Him that you save, saves you in turn. Wont you need it again?

Besides, this thing too forms a part of our household. From that point of view

also it deserves some consideration. You must give each one his due share of

honour. Even a broom must be shown some honor. The smallest work must

be done with reverence.

I am the mother of the wicked, as I am the mother of the virtuous. Never

fear. Whenever you are in distress, say to yourself, I have a mother.

I can never refuse anyone who addresses me as Mother.
