What a Brother Desires from His Sister 93

motherhood in her heart with a collective determination that
will radically transform men and convert them into true human
beings.

Therefore, mothers and sisters, this is an invocation to the
motherhood that resides within you. It is a request and a
challenge from a brother for the welfare of the entire
humankind. Please accept this challenge and carry out this pious
task. Please know your own strengths. As the scriptures have
said:

Vidy° Samast°stava DÆvi BhÆd°: Striya: Samast°: Sakala Jagatsu:.
Tvayaikay° P£ritamambamÆtat K° TÆ Stuti: Stavyapar° Par∞kita:..

(All women are different manifestations of the Goddess.
Yes, all of you have the same strength).

Sister, today is not the time to get carried away by the
influences of Western culture and become reactionary; rather,
it is a time for self-introspection. It is a time for comparing our
past with our present and predicting our future. The total
transformation of mankind is dependent on you and you alone.
Unfortunately, you have a resigned acceptance of yourself as
weak. Recall the call of women in ancient times:

Y∞ MÆ Jayati Sa¥gr°mÆ Y∞ MÆ Darpa Vyap∞hati.
Y∞ MÆ Atibal∞ L∞kÆ Sa MÆ Bhart° Bhavi¿yati..

(Only the one who wins against me in war, who eliminates
my vanity and who is stronger than me in the entire world, will
be worthy of being my husband.)

Why do you forget Mother Madalsa whose lullabies injected
a new life?

·uddh∞si RÆ T°ta Na TÆsti N°ma K§ta∆ Hi TÆ
Kalpanay°dhunaiva.
Paµc°tmaka∆ DÆhamida∆ NÆ TÆsti Naiv°sya Tva∆ R∞di¿i Kasya
HÆt∞:..

(O! Son! Why are you crying! You are the purest. You have
no name. This name is fake. Neither this body belongs to you
which has been made by five worldly elements nor you belong
to this body.)
