Sacred Desires Of Swami’s Mother

 

Like the mother of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Swami’s mother had also some sacred desires. One day, while I was having My food upstairs, Griham Ammayi (mother of Swami’s physical body) came to Me. I asked, ‘Amma, what is the reason for your coming here?’ She said, ‘You finish your food first, then I will tell You’. After I finished My food, she said, ‘Swami, ours is a very small village. Here people are put a lot of suffering due to absence of medical facilities. They have to run to Bukkapatnam even for a small problem. Then I assured her that I would build a hospital in the village. As promised, I got a small hospital built immediately.

 

On some other day, she again came upstairs and said, ‘Swami please don’t think otherwise, I have one more desire’. I asked her not to have too many desires. She said, ‘Swami, You are fulfilling the desires of thousands of people who are coming to You. Why can’t You fulfil my one more desire?’ Then I said, ‘Tell Me your desire’. She said, ‘Swami, the wells of our village have dried up. Please get a well dug in our village’. As per her wish I got a well dug in our Mandir itself. All the people of the village used to take water from this well. She said she was extremely happy but added that she had one more desire. She said, ‘Swami, the children of our village are going to Bukkapatnam for their studies. Poor children, they don’t have the strength even to walk such long distance. Please construct a school here.’ I fulfilled her that desire also. She felt very happy and said she no more desires left. Just as a small seed becomes a huge tree, the small school I established has become a big University now.

 

At that time, I constructed a small hospital. But now here is a big Super Specialities Hospital. The small well that I got dug here in the village has assumed gigantic proportions of a water project for the entire district. If the feelings of the mother are sacred, so too will be feelings of the children. (SSS Vol.33, pp. 291-293)
