Pranaams Chuck !
I think only a realized person can do that. Since he himSelf is 100%,
he can give 100%. If I am still only 1 %, 2 %, I can talk of only 100% of that
1 %, 2 %.
That is why family members are Saints, Realized souls and Sannyasis
are so much praised by the tradition. They get it.
Ramana sat for the whole day near his mother's bed till she was
absorbed.
It is true for the Gopis, of mother Yashoda, Sudama, and so many !!
