Legacy of Love: Sharmila Sarkar Das Writes for Her Mother, Late Suchitra Bhadra Sarkar

On mother’s day I want to share something about my noble mother.she was an ideal govt school teacher.her thought process, emotions was different from others.she was a real empath.

To take care of people was her nature and the natures she had is now a days extinct almost.when I was kid ,I didn’t understand that what my mother was doing was a noble job.I used to get angry with my mother ,quarrel with her and asked why she always thinks about others why she gives food that she cooked for us to others ?


She is no more but I remember a story which changed me as a person and I want to share with you all.one day my cousine sisters came to our place my mum cooked delicious meal for everyone.when we sat on table mum started to serve us .she served each of my sisters (elders and younger ) a jumbo piece of salmon fish and everything on their plates.but she gave me the smallest piece on my plate. Everything was in small portion in my plate.At this I got furious ,I felt very bad.I thought” she is my mother so she should care about me first.but she is doing wrong.why ?”

I had lost my tolerance and started crying ,screaming and complainin that” why you give them priority ?their mother doesn’t even love me never give me anything.then why you are being so nice with them ?I can’t understand I won’t tolerate this”…And threw my plate abused my mum due to anger and didn’t eat anything.because I was just ten years old.I was unable to understand my mother’s motto that she was trying to teach me something.

After they leave may mother said “listen to me very carefully my dear! ..I konow you are angry with me.it is normal..but if I explaine to you ,you will definitely understand because you are my daughter….mum started saying “God has made us .we are human beings..we are the children of God..so we must have to perform some good works to please God..for example :we should help destitute children men and women,serve food to hungry people..and most importantly if someone comes to your house ,you should respect him or her even if the person has not been good to you.you should still respect ,talk nicely and offer some food.at this your Karma will never be bad.you will acquire respect and love..do you know my dear ?when we leave this material world nothing goes with us except our good karma.

I got my mother’s point…and after that day I never thought like before never cried if my mother would give someone something better than me.I started following my mother’s path.still I am following the path of good karma.
