A questioner, who is a new mother, expresses her concern about her growing attachment and affection for her child, which is also increasing her fear and anxiety. She worries about becoming dependent on her child in the future and seeks guidance. Acharya Prashant advises her to look at her daughter as if she is not her own, but someone else's. Similarly, she should look at her daughter's mother (herself) as if she is not her, but someone else. Then, she should observe what this mother is doing with the child. He asks her to consider what advice she would give if this same situation were happening in someone else's house. The advice she would give to that other woman is the same advice she should give to herself. He suggests she would immediately tell another woman that so much attachment is not right and that she will spoil the child. He explains that the process of seeing things this way will clarify everything. Right now, she might not even be able to see where the mistake is happening because attachment and maternal affection act as a veil over the eyes. She justifies her actions by saying the child is small and she has to do everything. However, she justifies this for her own daughter, not for someone else's. The issue is not a lack of understanding; she understands everything. The problem is that a veil is cast over her understanding by motherhood and attachment. The simple way to remove this veil is to stand at a distance and look at herself and her daughter as if she is looking at someone else's house. Acharya Prashant concludes by stating that for thousands of years, wise elders have been trying to explain that maternal affection, attachment, and delusion are our enemies. They will not leave you anywhere and become the cause of ruin. Those who explained these things were our well-wishers, not our enemies. There must be a reason they explained these things. We should pay attention to their words and explain these same things to that "other" lady.
