Duty

Swami Asitananda said, “One day in the Jagadamba Ashrama, the Mother was seated on a cot under a tamarind tree. At that time a woman belonging to the dome caste came to her weeping. She complained that her paramour had given her up untimely, whereas she had come after renouncing everything for the sake of that person. Hearing her sorrowful tale the Mother summoned that man and rebuked him affectionately, but in strong manner, ‘For your sake she has left everything; moreover, all this time you have been accepting her services. Now if you give her up, you will be committing a grave sin – you will find no place even in hell.’ Hearing the Mother’s words the person came to his senses and went home along with the woman.”
