You have to Mother your child

"But this dedication can only be developed if you realise that you have to Mother your child. That, if the mother is ugly the child will be ugly too. Because it is the mother who is expressed in the child. She does not dominate, alright, but she definitely can corrupt the image of the child. And that’s exactly what happens when we, the Sahaja Yogis, are not bothered as to look after our Spirit and our spiritual growth. Even now, you will be surprised, fifty per cent people write letters to Me, ‘Mother, I am still possessed, I have worked with lemons and chillies, I am coming to You for this and that.’ It is a very low-grade business I think, even after so many years you are possessed, then I think you should beat yourself every day 108 times. It’s a very low grade behaviour I personally think, that after your Mother has worked so hard on you, you are still just the same, coming back with the horrible idea of bringing all kinds of problems to your Mother, that means that You have not looked after your child."
