Sadhguru on Pregnancy & Motherhood

A seeker asks, is there any way to design a human mind while still inside the womb? In India, Sadhguru explains, an entire established process once existed as to how an expectant and new mother should be supported. But today, he says, we are not taking enough care in the business of manufacturing the next generation of people.

Sadhguru looks at how parents should not mold their children, but just focus on creating a joyful and loving atmosphere.

The true beauty of motherhood, says Sadhguru, lies not in reproduction, but in inclusion.

Sadhguru looks at how a child needs a friend, not a boss. If we enforce our ideas upon a child, he will lose his sense of independence, and this could result in rebelliousness later on. Once you become a parent, the most important thing is that you have to be 100% straight. You just have to protect them from the wrong influences, the rest let them free, he says. At the same time, they should remain free from your influence, he points out.
