Motherhood Is A Great Art: Acquire It!
One should become a mother knowingly, fully aware of the responsibility. Don’t take it for granted that just by being a woman, one is necessarily a mother. That is fallacy. You must learn how to mother…
A Chinese friend writes: “I’m in a ‘hibernate’ state now. I’m not really sure of what I should do with my life. At times, I feel I should give birth to a child and have a normal life, like all other women. But then, that isn’t really me! Please advise…”
Millions of women around the world must experience this strange feeling, when they find themselves at a crossroads, utterly confused, not sure which way to go… In desperation, they end up choosing a well-trodden path which is to give birth to a child, or many children, and live ‘normal’ lives.
Osho says: “To become a mother is one of the world’s greatest responsibilities. Many women want to be mother but don’t know how. Once the mother-child relationship goes wrong, the child’s entire life goes wrong because his mother is his first contact with the world. Everything else is in continuity.”
Osho adds: “the desire to be a mother can be very strong. Nothing wrong with that but one should become a mother knowingly, fully aware. Don’t take it for granted that just by being a woman, one is necessarily a mother. That is a fallacy. Motherhood is a great art – learn it!”
Every woman needs to be meditative and fully conscious to give birth. A birth amidst confusion, depression or tension is the most uninviting space for new life to enter the world. To invite a noble soul into her womb, a woman must be full of peace. For that, its vital that the woman has a harmonious relationship with her man, their hearts beating in synchronicity. Then we can expect happy, fulfilled children.
My friend wants to be a mother, not because she knows how to but because she doesn’t know what else to do! But any step taken in confusion creates more confusion. Giving birth to a child, when your heart is not totally in it, can be disastrous.
Let you being blossom. You can give birth to yourself on a higher, super-conscious level!
