It’s such a great joy;
in these modern times,
it is described that in this Kali Yuga everything will go upside down
because people will not recognize the motherhood.
The mothers won’t be respected
and won’t be respectable either. Is a fact.
And imagine now this has brought this Mother’s Day to this country.
It’s something, such a recognition
from the Divine, that one has to
remember that motherhood is very important.
It is the Mother who created the universe;
the Father was just a witness to the whole show.
It is She works it out the whole thing.
It is She makes it beautiful so that He sees
the show, that He becomes the spectator,
because She loves Her creation.
The Father wants that it should be such that He should be able to love it.
He is a perfectionist, he wants everything to be perfect.
But a Mother accepts as the child is,
because that is Her own creation. If there is a defect in the child,
She accepts that defect as Her own
and She works for it; She works very hard.
It’s no sacrifice, because you enjoy it.
You enjoy doing that. You enjoy working for your children.
And if it was not so, this world would never have existed.
You know what untold things mother has to bear when the child is to be born.
Actually, it is a test of her love, I feel, at that time.
Still she goes on with it because she wants that child.
But when this motherhood is spoilt in its image,
when the mothers are no more mothers, they are not respectable,
then they are not respected. And when the children don’t respect their mothers
because they have no respect for anything else whatsoever…
I mean, the first thing and the last thing is the respect for the mother.
If one does not respect the mother, or the motherhood,
that means he has no respect for himself either.
So how does he exist? He exists through his mother.
So, mother is a very, very important institution
for the whole creation, for your creation
and for the creation of your children and all the progeny that has to come.
Now let us see what does the Mother provide us with,
what part of our being She is.
I would say that She is everything.
But your personal mother who has given you this birth,
this body, is your own mother
whom you know very clearly that she is your mother.
As you know, she gives you
the nourishment when you are in a fetus stage;
and later on when you grow up she, she gives you
all the physical nourishment that is needed for your growth and she enjoys it.
Otherwise she feels over-burdened. She wants to give it.
And everyone appreciates that.
It’s a collective enjoyment.
And it’s going on, and it could be seen from all the paintings of the world,
all over the world, in every language, in every country, every religion.
The mother and the child has been the main theme of paintings
and expression of the most joyous moment for painters.
Poets also have written such a lot on that.
Every way of manifestation of joy,
in all the human endeavor has been on this thing, revolving on this thing.
But the mother who is your own mother, whom you know as your mother,
who gives you physical birth,
is the mother who gives you much more than you know of.
Because her blood has her vibrations,
and when she gives you her blood she gives you her vibrations,
she gives her sustenance,
she gives you her desires and also she gives you
a push in your evolution if she is an evolved person.
Now, in mother and the child relationship, mother gives a lot.
She gives, makes your complete left side. She creates all that left side in you,
because she has desired for you; so she creates that.
On the right side she gives you all the beauty of delicate things,
and also the hunches that you get in your business
or all the flexible moments of your life that you think,
“From where unknown I got something?” - that’s your mother’s blessings on you.
