Why a mother cries

Tweet

I attended our weekly meeting in the temple near my home. One lady told how her son is behaving after he got married; he along with her daughter in law are torturing her; but she is tolerating all, because she is ‘mother’. Our Guru there said this story. A baby asked her mom, why you cry; the answer was I cry because I am mother. Next she asked her dad, why mom is crying unnecessarily, the answer was, all mothers cry unnecessarily. Confused she asked God, the answer was, and crying is a unique characteristic of all mothers, the cry of mother is very strong, it can lift all loads and burdens on the earth, she is ocean of kindness, and she can tolerate everything. She can tolerate the delivery pain, the pain her kids, hubby, family members give her in any form. She ties all members together with an invisible thread. Her heart is very delicate but at the same time very strong. God reminded her of the story of a mother and her son. The son cut head of her mother, holding it by hand, he was going to throw in a gutter, his leg accidentally fell on a stone; he failed down; he heard a voice;’ son take care, are you hurt’; this came from the cut head he was holding. [b]Guess this applies to most mothers, we cry because we are mother.’ What you say? Please respond, share your valued opinions.[/b] Kalyani God bless you 10/3/2012
