How every son should think

When He [Caitanya Mahaprabhu] took sannyasa and the mother came… Advaita
Prabhu arranged to see for the last time her son. Because a sannyasi is no
more coming home. So at that time, mother became overwhelmed: "Such
beautiful body. He has nice hair. Now it is shaven." So she became very much
overwhelmed and was crying. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu immediately fell down on
her lotus feet and He said, "My dear mother, this body is yours. My dear
mother, this body is yours. This body should have been engaged for your
service, but some way or other, I mistake, I have taken this sannyasi.
Kindly excuse Me." Caitanya Mahaprabhu said that "This body belongs to you.
This is your body." Every son should think like that. This is Vedic culture.
