Holy Mother could see the sincerity in the hearts of devotees, so she taught each one differently.
One day, finding the Mother alone, Sarajubala asked her: "Is it permissible to perform worship to the Master during a woman's monthly cycle?"
Holy Mother told her what the Master had suggested: 'If your mind is distraught if you do not perform the worship, then do it; there will be no transgression in it. But if you have any compunction, then don't do it. If you are at all hesitant, don't perform worship.”
However, some days later she answered the same question differently from another woman:
“How is it possible to serve the deities under such a condition? Don't perform any ritual at that time."
