Motherhood is the greatest thing

Any race which does not have superior mothers cannot exist, cannot exist. Any country which doesn’t have mothers of a great quality cannot exist. It will perish without any doubt. The mothers have to look after the preservation, not only of their own children, but of the whole race, of the whole nation. It is a very important thing.

Wherever the mothers have failed, the nations have failed. So try to understand that it is the mothers’ duty to do this. If the mothers themselves are small minded, mothers themselves are selfish, the whole nation will be. Everything passes through the mother to the children.

You see, you are a mother, and you have to treat your children with that dignity and with that love that a mother should give. It is very difficult for some people to accept the position of a mother. They think, “Why women should be the mothers”? This is the greatest thing to be the mother, to love everyone, that they depend on you for love and guidance. Just for love. Such a great thing to tell: “Oh God, you see, how much I can give. How many cups I can fill”. It’s such a great feeling. I wish you would know what a mother is. And the motherhood you have to learn from your children and grand children and expand.

Because the guru is the one who trains you, makes you efficient. But the Mother forgives, She loves you, She sustains you and She teaches you how to love. She has tremendous patience and tremendous love and She does it single handed, She doesn’t expect anything from you. Absolutely selfless. Selfless is a very small word I should say, it’s such an expansive compassion which engulfs everything that is wrong, dissolves it, digests it, absorbs it.

When it comes to giving, give it with your full heart. Just feel that love of giving, and you feel so happy. Because you feel so big about yourself. Like an ocean that’s giving so much of clouds and again it is receiving these rivers into it, and again making it into clouds. It’s sort of a circle of a beautiful conversion into beauty after beauty starts, it is so beautiful.

And that’s what we should try to become. A part of that circle which is so beautiful and which is so joy-giving to yourself also and this is what it is, and this hand is for” ashraya”, means for the protection. You must protect the people who are your subordinates, who are dependent on you, your children.

So in these countries where people are already ego-oriented, when there are all kinds of other problems, everything, we should try to purify our minds, keep it clean, have the thoughts of higher visions, higher things, greater people who are able to come to Sahaja Yoga. Those numbers that we think of, let us have, how many we are going to have, how many we are going to receive. All these things, you see, they make you sublime, and all this sublimation of the brain gives you that kind of a power by which you really help your children.
