The mother spends more time tending the sickly child; she just asks the older children to look after themselves; she feeds with her own hand the infant. That does not mean that she has no love towards the grown ups. So too, do not think that because I do not pay more attention to you, you are beyond the ken of My love.
(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God, sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
