Antyeshthi in honor of Holy Mataji Part 1
The mother's samādhi is established and the debt to parents and guru is paramount. A mother's compassion is simple and complete. Her samādhi blesses all. The debt to one's mother is profound and nearly impossible to repay, as she endures all hardship for the child. Even great saints like Śaṅkarācārya returned to perform their mother's rites. The debt to the guru is also immense; a true disciple passes the guru's test. Human life is for self-realization, which is the purpose of this ashram. Culture protects society, and performing one's duties, especially serving parents, is essential. Modern life neglects these spiritual foundations.
"It is not easy to repay the debt of the mother; only a few can do it."
"The debt to the mother is never repaid by this body; the debt to the one from whom this body was created, that debt we all must repay."
