Mothers
hold a special place in their children's lives. ‘They are not just the ones who gave birth to us; they are the ones who included us as a part of themselves,’ this is how
Sadhguru
captures the essence of
motherhood
.
According to him, the beauty of motherhood lies in the act of inclusion. It’s not merely the physical act of giving birth that makes a mother precious, but the willingness to see her child as an extension of herself.
He also believes that a mother's ability to place her child's well-being above her own comes naturally because she experiences the child as a part of herself. It’s this inherent bond that enables her to embrace motherhood with such love and dedication.
In Sadhguru’s view, every woman has the potential to embrace motherhood not just towards her own children but towards the world. He encourages everyone to love others as they would love their own child.
