THE MOTHER’S PRASAD

Some visitors from Calcutta, whenever they came, used to present to the Mother their devoted offerings and bring some other dry eatables (biscuits etc.) to get her Blessings’ touch on them and then distribute them as her prasad when they returned home.

In 1949, they bought a few packets of biscuits of a costlier quality which they themselves had never tasted and, while buying them, they had spoken to one another casually about it.

When they went to the Mother with their packets—some as offerings for her and some for her Blessings’ touch—she not only blessed the latter packets for prasad, but also returned their offering-gifts with her affectionate blessings. And the whole thing happened in such a natural way that they realised the return of those packets only when they had left the Mother. They had hardly had the time to say to her that they had meant those for the Mother and not to be returned as prasad.

Thus even in small and trivial matters Her Grace could act.
