In Bihar, a mother had lost her son in the freedom struggle. Bapu went to her place, bowed to her and stood before her with folded hands. Then he started saying: “Mother, this is your son, who is standing before you. Just put your hand on his head and bless him that he sacrifices his life in the service of the nation.”
Then, it so occurred as if the prayer emerged from the heart of a mother for the Mahatma, who was standing before her.
She said, “Son, be immortal.”
The wish that Bapu had made from a pure heart indeed came true. The oblation of Bapu’s life was also given in the welfare of humanity.
The Mother’s — Bharat Mata’s prayer and blessings will always be heard for his sincere sacrifice: “Beta, Amar Raho!”
