The doctors said that she will need some blood. The question was who would donate blood? On examining the pharmacist boy's blood matched. The boy recognized that this is the same person who cared for me in childhood, though the mother did not. The doctor asked if he would donate blood, but on condition that he gets Rs. 200. The cowherd gave him Rs. 200 and the blood was given and in time the mother recovered and returned to her home.
After a few days a boy came to the cowherd family's hours and brought with him Rs. 2000 and gave it as gift placing it at the feet of the mother, and revealing his identity. He said the blood you received in the hospital was as such, yours only. It is due to your milk that I was nourished and this body has grown. Therefore this boy and everything else is yours only. The money given to you is from pure earnings. With your grace I do not eat even onions and garlic. I have no interest in impure things. Therefore you will have to take this money. This is how the purity of the mother had an influence on this boy. Think about this! All the mothers take care of their own children. We have all been taken care of by sisters and mothers only. But no one tell their life stories. No one speaks about the. You and me are talking about the cowherd mother, as this has impact on us that what an amazing compassion she had in her heart. She did not differentiate between her own son and an outsider. She cared for him and turned him over to his father! One's own child is cared for even by a female dog. What is the big deal about that?
Either, do not consider the child as your own, rather consider it to be God's and then care for him or those who are not your children, take care of them, then it will be a great virtue. However when one has affection then that virtue will be wiped out. I am caring for my own child, I am caring for my own people – this feeling of "mine-ness" burns off all your virtues. Therefore gentlemen! Please consider your family as belonging to God. Old and young, all are belonging to God. Serve them and say to the Lord! He Naath! I am serving your family, if you begin to do this, then God will become grateful. God too will say that you have cared for my children. But if you develop affection, then there is no obligation on God. All care for their own children. Simply have the sentiments that these are not mine, they are God's. Gentlemen, this life will be a success!
