Mother Sachi Cooks.

Mother Sachi Cooks.
One day Mother Sachi offered food to Bala Gopal. She offered rice, different kinds of vegetables, spinach, curry made of banana flowers, fried patola with nimba leaves, pieces of ginger with lemon, and also yogurt, milk, sugar candy and many other foods.
After the food was offered Mother Sachi took the plate. Just then she began to think of Nimai. All of these foods were Nimai's favorites. She was thinking, "Nimai is not here. Who will accept all this food?" As she meditated upon Nimai in this way, her eyes filled with tears.
While she was remembering Nimai and crying, Lord Chaitanya went there quickly and ate everything. Then, when Mother Sachi saw the plate was empty, she wiped her tears away. She then began to wonder who had eaten all that food. "Why is the plate empty?" she wondered. She was not sure that Bala Gopala had eaten it all.
Then she began to wonder if there had been anything on the plate in the first place. Or perhaps some animal might have come and eaten everything. Next she thought ,"Perhaps by mistake I did not put any food on the plate." So
thinking, she went into the kitchen and saw the pots. When she saw that all the pots were still filled with rice and vegetables, she was surprised.
Now whenever Mother Sachi cooks Nimai's favorite dishes she remembers her beloved Nimai and cries. Because her love for Nimai is so great, The Lord Himself comes to her house to accept all her offerings.
