Contact with The Mother

A GESTURE OF UNDERSTANDING

Once a relative of mine visited the Ashram for the first time. She wanted to offer a sari to the Mother, but she had not enough money. A good silken sari costs between 100 and 150 rupees, but it was far beyond the capacity of my relative to spend anything like that.

Anyway she went to the bazar and brought a few samples of saris including a few which were a little costilier.

When the Mother was shown these samples, she chose the one which cost eleven rupees only and, to our greatest pleasure, she wore it the very next day before my relative left Pondicherry in the evening.
