“Think Only of What Your Mother Yearned to Be”
Vivekananda taught to not concentrate on the mother but on that which animates her.
From the root ANE, breath – that which animates – is derived the Latin anima, the Soul.
Think only of your mother’s Soul – for Who she always yearned to be.
And forgive all else. Think of Latin donum, gift. From which comes our pardon: to forgive is to give the gift of love from your Soul to hers.
May you be so animated to her.
