Flowers in a Dish

1949-08-08

After Pranam, when she had finished seeing everyone. Mother used j to select some flowers and give them to me one by one in my palms. Today she gathered all the flowers in a dish, then put the dish in my hands.

Certainly it was not to save time that she did that. Her ways are always difficult to understand. All the same I could not remain quiet. I exclaimed: “Mother, I have hands. Even if you leave the dish on the table I can take it from there.”

At this Nolini laughed aloud and Amrita also laughed and laughed. They understood what I meant to say. Mother too laughed and said: “No, no, I have only collected them and put them there.”

I said: “Yes, Mother, I know it well and you too know well what I want!”

Mother laughed and everyone around laughed again.

You may have understood what I meant when I said, “Mother, I have hands.” Still I shall explain it. When she kept the flowers in the dish and gave it, I lost the repeated touch of her loving hands which I used to get when she put them one by one in my hands. I did not want to lose that, so I said, “Mother, I have hands.”
