In plain words
Only when these plants of Prema bear their crop can they give Śānti to the universe. All are full of Prema, all are full of Prema. Then where would hatred be? Madālasā brought up all the sons born to her in every way, not with the feeling that they were her sons but only with the feeling of Jñāna. My son! You are not one who bears a body. Your true form is the Ātma itself. Laying the little child in the cradle, she would lull them to sleep with Jñāna of many kinds. In that way she sent each son to the forest by the time he reached his eighth year. In this way she sent away three sons. She decided to send the fourth son, too, to the forest in the same way. But Madālasā's husband came. ‘Madālasā! Who will rule this kingdom after me? A kingdom without a king is a blind kingdom. So he cannot be left with you. So I will not leave him with you at all.’ With that he quarrelled with her at length and took the child himself. She too spoke to the king. ‘King! I am doing only good to the children, not harm. What teachings am I giving the children? I am not giving them any teachings bound up with the world.
In a cradle that is Oṃkāra, spreading the bedding that is Tattvamasi, laying the child, awareness, there with never a lapse, while the beings of the seven worlds rock it as one, jo! jo!..
These belong to the sacred Jñāna of the Ātma. But what I teach — “Māyamma was not born with me. For a quarrel let us go to the court of justice. Jo! jo!” I do not lull them to sleep with worldly tunes of this kind.’ So the worldly is merely negative. What is full of divine feelings is positive. Of course we must bring up children, we must love children, and we must give them whatever suits their health. But their goal is the one thing we must not change.
