Divine Observation and Human Boasting

1944-06-09

Just after returning from the Balcony¹ at 7.15. a.m. (the time was changing from day to day) Mother met Dyuman and Pujalal. They were among those whom she used to give flowers at that time.² After giving the flowers she asked them to show her their palms. On seeing them she remarked that they were yellow. Then she asked me to show my palms. When I did, she told Dyuman and Pujalal: “See, his palms are pink. In your case your livers are not working properly.” And to me she said: “Your liver is all right.”³

C: “Mother, I never have any trouble.”

Mother: “Don't boast.”

C: “No, no. Mother, I do not boast.”

Mother: “Then it is all right. You see, there are some mischievous forces always on the lookout. The moment they get the slightest opening they come out at once and show themselves.”

C: “Mother, man always likes to boast; does he not?”

Mother smiled and said: “Yes, yes.”
