another reconstruction of original lost in publication...
She was just a woman and a mother,
although Buddha's mother, like himself, an ordinary mortal,
but has come to symbolize a human valuation
of much higher worth than any deity.
She has become a symbol for not only Mother Earth and Mother Nature
but for life itself as simple motherhood,
the very instrument of constructivity, creation and protection,
above all criticism as such, incapable of any harm or evil,
just the harmony of continuity,
the perfect sweetness of one-sided positivism,
the miraculousness of the talent to make something out of nothing
and the home of love undying everlasting.
All this is embalmed in this simplicity of motherhood,
a simple human character, quite limited and mortal
but endowed with the supremest gift of making life
and thus more worthy than the holiest divinity
for being only lovable.
