Passage 12

In English

said, "So what do you want me to do, mother?" replied, "Son! No one can really help another. It is God alone who is the sole refuge of everyone. He alone can fulfill all your wishes. Go to the forest and seek Lord to achieve your desires." Are there such mothers today, who send their five-year-old sons to the forest for penance? She placed her hand on ’s head as blessing and said, "Whether you are in the forest, city, village, mountains, or sea, God is the only refuge of the forlorn. Instead of suffering in the palace, it is much better to delight in thoughts of God in the forest.
