Once Nalin Bihari Sarkar asked Holy Mother about the weaknesses of the mind. She replied: “My son, that is the law of nature, like the new moon and the full moon. Similarly, the mind harbours sometimes good and sometimes bad thoughts.”
Nalin asked: “Mother, I have visited you so often and have received your grace, yet I still don’t make any progress. I feel that I am as I was before.”
Mother replied: “My son, suppose you are asleep on a cot and someone carries the cot, with you on it, to another place. Would you immediately realize that you have been moved to another place? Not at all. Only when your drowsiness clears up completely will you see that you have come to a new place.”
