Dear Maa,

Maa, you brought me into this world because you wanted more than anything to experience the God-given Gift, the miracle of creating a new life… you wanted a pretty girl in whom you could instill all the values of life… who would always be your ‘little girl’, a daughter, a friend, a confidante, a shoulder to lean on in your twilight years…

Maa, you taught me all about compassion and caring, honesty and humility, patience and perseverence, trust and tolerance, laughter and love…

Maa, the best lesson you taught me remains ever-fresh in my mind…

I remember that day so many years ago… We sat together side by side, beside a pond. You took some water in your palm and you told me that this water represented LOVE. I looked wonderingly at you and imagined Love to be as pure and clear as the water in your cupped palm. You held the water easily as one would a ball or some other solid object, you said that this Love would be Eternal, it would endure for ever.

You asked me to take some water in my palm too. I did so and closed my fingers around it so that it would not spill out. But try as I might, drops of water slipped down the gaps between my fingers.

Maa, you said, ‘See, if you try to possess Love, you will only succeed in driving it away. Never demand or expect Love from anyone. Love is meant to be shared, given of one’s free will. Shower boundless Love on all beings. It will come back to you in abundance’.

Maa, this invaluable teaching has helped me in many ways. I have learnt not to cling to my loved ones, they are free, they are not bound by the fetters of my love, instead they return to the familial home and hearth to deepen the bonds of love.


Thank you, Maa!

I Love You Maa!
