Do Not Forget The Mother's Name

Do Not Forget The Mother's Name 

Master said:

"Some people pride themselves on their riches and power - their wealth, honour, and social position. But these are transitory. Nothing will remain with you in death. 

There is a song that runs:

Remember this, O mind! Nobody is your own:
Vain is your wandering in this world. 
Trapped in the subtle snare of maya as you are, 
Do not forget the Mother's name. 
Only a day or two men honour you on earth 
As lord and master; all too soon 
That form, so honoured now, must needs be cast away, 
When Death, the Master, seizes you. 
Even your beloved wife, for whom, while yet you live, 
You fret yourself almost to death, 
Will not go with you then; she too will say farewell, 
And shun your corpse as an evil thing. 

-Mahendra Nath Gupta 
The Recorder of The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna
