Acharya Prashant explains that what we consider a newborn child is essentially a bundle of desires, representing the unfulfilled evolutionary history of the parents. He argues that birth is not a profound act but rather the result of two unfulfilled beings seeking completion through each other. He asserts that the ego is what is born, and bringing a child into the world often results in creating more unfulfillment. He challenges the notion of maternal love, describing it as a biological and hormonal process rather than true love. He points out that if reproductive hormones were removed, the desire to procreate and the perceived 'rapture' of motherhood would vanish, illustrating that such attachments are purely physical and chemical. Acharya Prashant further clarifies that the attachment a mother feels is often rooted in the sense of 'mine' rather than genuine love for the child as an individual. He references the Bhagavad Gita, noting that it identifies 'Mamta' or the feeling of 'mineness' as an enemy to spiritual growth, despite it being culturally celebrated. He explains that true love is possible only when one stops equating bodily relationships with love. He concludes by stating that while a child is born with physical and biological conditioning, parents often add a layer of social conditioning through names, religions, and beliefs. A truly loving relationship would instead involve helping the child transcend these physical and social limitations.
