Feeling deeply sorrowful on your bereavement and can only say that mother has returned to Mother, the river has flown back to its source, the ocean of love and eternal existence.
I was not fortunate to have met her, although, you had several times sent invitations to me for functions at your residence when, perhaps, I could have met her. Alas, such a meeting could not be! But I send forth these lines tonight and with it my pranam to your mother who is my mother as well. May Thakur-Ma bless you and your family in this hour of deepest personal crisis when the earth seems to be slipping away from beneath the feet and life in a yawning chasm seems to be entering oblivion.
Mother has gone where all eventually go one day and has left behind for you a rich legacy to uphold and preserve through your life's attainments. It is a privilege to be born, a privilege to live for an ideal and when one's karma on earth is over, it is a privilege to return to source as well. And a far greater benediction is to be held in the womb of the mother, thence in her arms and in the evening of her life, it is such a blessing to be able to serve her before she sets sail on the shoreless sea of radiance. Thrice blessed are you, thus, Rajyashree Devi, and rejoice, therefore, that life offered you such a privilege to have had such a one as your mother that through tears of sorrow and pangs of grief, bliss engulfs the corridors of your being still to see her in an a'fer light in the realm of the divine where she must make her residence now, ever overlooking, like in your years of girlhood, on all that you shall be doing here on earth. May Thakur-Ma ever keep mother on their lap, such is the prayer of this bereft brother of yours!
