In response to a question about whether a mother can be a bad mother ('kumata'), Acharya Prashant explains that everything that is part of 'Prakriti' (nature) can move upwards or downwards, meaning it can be better or worse. Only 'Satya' (Truth) is singular, unchanging, and immortal. Apart from Truth, everything else can be better or worse. Therefore, a mother, who is a woman who has given birth, can certainly be a bad mother. He asserts that, in fact, most mothers are bad mothers. Just as a son can be a bad son ('kapoot'), a daughter a bad daughter ('kuputri'), and a father a bad father ('kupita'), a mother can also be a bad mother. He dismisses the belief that a mother is a goddess, stating she doesn't become one just by giving birth. Acharya Prashant elaborates that before being a woman, she is a human being. Just like any human can be better or worse, higher or lower, a woman can be a good mother ('sumata') or a bad mother ('kumata'). He gives an example of a foolish, thoughtless, and violent young woman. If such a woman becomes a mother through the biological act of intercourse, she does not magically transform into a good mother. The quality of one's life determines the quality of one's parenthood. He questions if becoming a good mother is so cheap that one just has sex, gets pregnant, gives birth, and is then called a 'devi maa' (goddess mother). The quality of your life will be the quality of your motherhood. If you are a fallen person, you will be a fallen father. He points out the hypocrisy in society where a 25-year-old is considered a junior in any profession, yet at that age, people are entrusted with the immense responsibility of raising a child, a task for which they are often unqualified. He argues that the saying should be reversed: if a son is bad, it is because the mother was a bad mother first. He calls the original saying a conspiracy by mothers. He concludes that children are the most exploited group in the world because they are entirely dependent on their often foolish and irresponsible parents. To be a good mother, one must first be a good human being.
