The purest emotion that is gifted to us by The Almighty is love.......The day one is born the first encounter is with mother's love............perhaps the most sacred.............Mother's love for the child seems to be very close to Godly love....unconditional...unending........exceptionally expressive....... so selfless and caring.
As the child grows the mother nurtures him continuously without a single complaint...because she knows that there is no body else for that little one..............to take care of it the way she herself does......She loves it so dearly.......
The child grows into an adolescent.......to a young person...who wants to take his own decisions.....go ahead in life.......He wants to experiment on his own.......take life full on.......
What happens to the protective cover of the mother..............the son or daughter wants to break free of it.......but the mother ........... she still feels that her child is inadequately skilled to protect him or her.......
What is the end result of this tug of war between mother and the child...........No war ever results in love.......
Rather misunderstandings creep in......
The child has to grow up...........face the world..........take up challenges on his own.......learn to take his own decisions..........take up responsibilities .......
The other day i was watching a mother bird encouraging its baby bird........... to fly........
the baby bird was falling here and there as its soft wings were unable to hold its body upright........
Within a few days the little one was able to take short flights.....the mother bird would simply be around........but from a distance.
One fine day i did not see the duo...may be both left....the baby bird was..... may be able to fly with the rest of the flock.....independently....without any help........with full confidence...........tracing the long distances.......on its own.......with its strong wings.......
Task of mothering got accomplished........... the mother bird and the baby bird flew independently.......
Motherly love as we see is godly love only ....but when the child grows up and wants to traverse his own destiny......... that same emotion tries to become a hurdle in his growth..........
That same emotion of pure love and care starts translating to be a very selfish emotion of controlling or possessing the child........
Pure love of mother also pollutes.......what of love in any other relationship..........
Only if we could discard our own selfish motivating factors........any love can transform to Godly Love ....The Eternal Love......we all crave for..................................
