A couple of days after the Mother’s passing away, a respected couple who were the Mother’s disciples came to Belur Math. They had come from far away to see Holy Mother, but their hopes were dashed to pieces. Swami Shivananda consoled them, saying: “The Mother is now all-pervading. One can now see her in everything and every being. Anyone who calls on her wholeheartedly will see her. Previously she lived in a particular place. Now she is everywhere.
Do not grieve. Call on her with a sincere and longing heart, and she will reveal herself to you.”

I heard many things about Jesus Christ from Nivedita. She read many beautiful stories about him to me. Ah, Jesus came to deliver people in this world and how much suffering he had to undergo. He joyfully endured all. Despite all those persecutions, he loved people and forgave them unconditionally. His own disciple betrayed him. Ah, they killed him with nails in his hands, feet, and chest. In spite of that terrible torture and pain, he ungrudgingly forgave them. He prayed to God to not take offence at what they did.
Is it possible for human beings to have such love, power of forbearance, and forgiveness? Who can endure this way other than God? God came as Jesus to teach divine love to the people of the world.

Just after the [Holy Mother’s] cremation, Swami Shivananda said to the monks and devotees at Belur Math: “The Divine Mother Sati’s body was divided into 51 pieces and fell in 51 places throughout India. Those places became Shakti-pithas or Devi-tirthas.
And today that very Sati’s entire body has become mixed with the ground of Belur Math, so you can imagine what a great and holy place Belur Math is.”

[In a letter, Swami Premananda writes about Holy Mother:]
“Who has understood the Mother? There is not the least trace of splendor. The Master [Sri Ramakrishna] had at least the brilliance of wisdom. But what about the Mother? For her even that glow is wanting. What a great power is that! The poison that we cannot assimilate we pass on to the Mother. The Mother takes on every one on her lap. Infinite Power! Limitless mercy! ...
She is giving shelter to all, eating everybody’s food, and assimilating all. Remember the mercy of the Mother, that infinite compassion of the Mother in weal and woe, in success and failure, in famine and pestilence, in wars and revolutions.
Glory unto the Mother!”

Umesh Babu had asked the Mother, “After the passing away of the Master, you have been living in this world and ministering to the spiritual needs of the people. We have not heard of the spiritual consorts of other incarnations doing such a thing. In all those cases, it has been the followers of the incarnation that have taken care of spiritual ministration. What is the reason for this novelty?”
The Mother replied, “My son, don’t you know that the Master used to see Divine Mother in all beings? This time he has left me behind in order to teach the Motherhood of God to the world.”
