Embodiments of Love: Mother is responsible for the birth of everyone. Just as Brahma is the creator of all the created, it is the mother who is the creator of all. You should always respect this motherly feeling. This is motherland. This is mother earth. For this Rama said Janani Janma bhumischa Swargadapi Gariyasi - mother and motherland are superior to heaven’. It is our responsibility to revere our mother and motherland. That is your goal of your life.

May be due to the defective educational system or the company, we have no respect for our own country while you follow other lands. It does not matter if you go anywhere. You do job in any country. You earn money anywhere but never forget your own motherland. This is my motherland. This is my mother tongue. One who cannot declare that this my motherland and this is my mother tongue is a living corpse. So, first we should not forget our motherland. This is also said by Rama.

Sugriva prayed holding the feet of Rama after the victory and Hanuman also repeated the same thing that ‘Bharata is already ruling over the kingdom. It would be better if you take charge of Lanka and rule it and teach the Rakshasas the righteous path. Lakshmana also said the same thing. He said ‘Swami, Ayodhya is being ruled by Bharata. Lanka is golden. There is no dearth of wealth. It has surrendered to you. It is better you rule Lanka’. Then Rama said ‘Mad man, for the simple reason that one is healthy and so beautiful, I cannot call anyone else as my mother. She may be weak and ugly, but my mother continues to be my mother. That is the only faith I have. Bharata may be in any condition but this country is my mother.’ Students, you should have all this moral and ethical values and follow the path given to us by the ancient Rishis and set and ideal to the rest of the society.

I always advise My students not to publicise what we do in the hospital. There are several wonderful things that are happening. One patient from Nepal had his heart on his side! Our doctors have shifted it back to correct location. The surgery was understandably highly complicated. Still it was carried out. I told My students that no one needed to be informed about this. People may abuse us of praising ourselves. I told them that their main task was to make everyone happy. Today, Mariwala has narrated so many incidents that he never briefed Me about. These boys from hospital sleep on the ground floor while stay on the first floor. They always discuss only hospital related matters. I keep telling them, ‘Do not speak about them anywhere outside. You do your duty sincerely. Extend every possible comfort to those who come.’ The other day I was informed that a particular injection was to be administered to a patient in order to his life. That injection costs Rs. 80,000! Mariwala came and asked Me whether they could go ahead and buy such an expensive injection. I replied that to save a life, any amount should be spent. I shall bear the expenses, but get the medicine and save his life. Instantly we dispatched a courier to Bangalore and obtained the required injection. There are several such expensive medicines that need to be used in the hospital. No one knows about these details. I believe that, we must not look at the cost if it can save a life. I tell our doctors to continue with their duty and keep the patients healthy and safe. The patients should not be subjected to any kind of inconvenience. (SSB 2002, pp. 97-98)
