Out of affection, a mother continuously advises her child... “Have you done this? Did you eat well? Don't do this... Don't do that... Don't go here... Don't go there... Come home early... and so on and so forth.”
She is aware that her child is old enough to understand the do's and don'ts of his life. Even then, her attachment and her maternal feelings and concerns drive her to continuously advise and nag her child... during such moments and situations, the distance between the child and the mother increases instead of decreasing, and this leads to unhappiness. And if you are unhappy, how will you get close to Parmatma ? Will this sorrow take you closer or away from Parmatma?
Every house has the same story to narrate... a woman... a mother is said to be the epitome of patience because she can bear all the sufferings.
As a child, a girl is dominated by her father, when married, she has to listen to her husband and when she becomes a mother, the children begin to take over. The saga and suffering continues at all stages of a woman's life that leads to the bondage of karma (sins).
Affection, motherhood, expectation, love and attachment!
This is the way the world works...!
