   Disciple: Mother,we have found you, so we are protected.

    Mother: Why do you worry, child? The thought of you all comes to my mind very often. I do remember you all very much.

   Another time when the Holy Mother was at the Koalpara Math, I said to her, "Mother,I am hardly able to do any spiritual practice."

   Mother gave me courage as well as assurance saying, " You need not do anything special. I shall do the needful for you."

   Astonished at this, I asked, "Shall  I have to do no spiritual practice?"

   Mother: None.

   Disciple: Will my future progress not depend on my own deeds henceforth?

   Mother: No, what will you do? I shall do, whatever is necessary.

   I was struck dumb by this unrestricted grace of the Holy Mother. The talk next drifted to the pain in her legs. I asked, Mother, I have heard that you suffer only when certain persons touch your feet."

   Mother: Yes, son, the touch of some persons makes the body cool; but the touch of some others feels like the sting of a wasp. But I never give expression to this experience.

   Now I began to brood whether I belonged to the group of 'wasps'. The Mother, as if she was indwelling my mind, said instantly," Son, you are not one of them."

   About a month later during the holidays of the Car Festival, I visited Koalpara once again. On the day of the Car Festival I had the following conversation with the Holy Mother.

   Disciple: Mother, my strength and hope spring from the grace I have received from you.

   Mother: Why do you worry, child? You have found a place in my mind. Whenever I need anything, your thought comes immediately to my mind. I think, 'There are Indu and others; what's there to worry?' You will not have to do any spiritual discipline. I am doing it for you.

   Disciple: Do you do the same for all, who have taken spiritual initiation from you, wherever they be?

   Mother: Yes, I do it for all of them.

   Disciple: You have so many children (initiated disciples), Do you remember all of them?

   Mother: No, I do not remember everyone of them.
