"It's natural for the child to love his mother and for the mother to love her child. And it's so innocent and natural that the love is there for life. A child's love for mother is born out of the necessity for life, and this necessity for life from the side of the child enriches the field of life of the mother. It's so natural.
Nature has created that relationship that even though for her life the mother is not dependent on the child, because the child for his life is dependent on the mother, the mother's heart is so formulated that it naturally adds joy to the mother. The child's necessity for life creates in him dependent love for the mother, and in response to this dependent love the mother finds life in her own heart. For life she loves the child, for her own life, even though the love of the child is born of the physical necessity for the mother. This physical necessity is not on the part of the mother. Mother's life doesn't depend on the love of the child, but because the child's life depends on the mother, Nature has so formulated a mother's heart that the mother's heart will not be enriched and the joy of life of the mother will be missing if she doesn't love the child. So from both sides, ultimately, the need for love is natural. This is that natural relationship -- one loves the other." ~Maharishi~ ~Rishikesh, India -- 1969~ Happy Mother's Day! Jai Guru Dev
