Should a mother's affection have a periphery? If yes, is she a mother in the true sense at all?
On the other hand, extreme pampering by a mother is not only the reason for a child's downfall but also causes tremendous harm to the mother and her soul.
A mother's affection is compared to the water in the well – you can drink the water but you cannot jump or go deep into the well to quench your thirst.
Every mother should remember this, because, mothers usually keep worrying about the not so serious issues such as her children's whereabouts, what they would have eaten, and so on and so forth... Unfortunately, over time, this leads to ill health and sleepless nights...
A mother spoils her health due to over-attachment to her child and excessive affection leads to unnecessary worries. Will a mother regain that health ever? Will her child be there in times of grief when his mother needs him? Will the ailing mother ever have her child beside her? The most common answer would be a “NO.” In fact, a child would blame his mother for her illness and question her, “Mom, why do you not take good care of yourself?"
In my view, a good, great mother is someone who keeps herself deeply connected to Parmatma more than her
