My Mother's Day blessing
One morning, while I was taking exercise, I heard Ranjana, my secretary, on the phone talking, talking, talking. She had called her mother for Mother’s Day. For so long, I was hearing her voice. I said to myself, “O God, luckily my mother is not on earth. Therefore I don’t have to spend so much time on the phone.”I was doing wrist curls on a special machine. Then, what did I see? O my God, I saw two ethereal hands twisting my wrists. Then I saw it was my mother who was twisting them. Here I was saying that I did not have to talk to my mother on the phone because she is in the other world! So this is how we observed Mother’s Day.
