Blessings to you, dear ones. I am Amma, the Divine Mother of the divine mothers, and I am your mother. You were born from my womb, and I continue to hold you in my womb.

You began your life dependent on the one who nurtured you in her womb. When she did not receive the nutrition she needed, you suffered. When she did not care for herself, you suffered. When she did not love you, you suffered.

This dependency continued for a number of years. You could have gone out into the world and found your way at a young age, but you would still have needed someone to assist you. You would have needed to find a group or community to help you do those things you could not do for yourself. Yes, you could have been forced to take care of yourself in ways that were beyond your developmental stage in life.
