It is said that the God cannot be everywhere so He created Mother as His substitute on earth. Mother is such a vast and immeasurable being which transcends every definition in the world.
Barely few hours have passed when the world celebrated Mother's day the most omnipresent reality ever in existence.
Ma, mama or mother each of these words do surpass the contours of any measurement and their connotations are not describable in words.
It is something that is to be felt and sometimes that also remain above any narration when the thing like mother is seen through the prism of love.
A mother’s love is like no other as it is an endless well of strength, courage, compassion and the fuel that enables us to do the impossible hence, the relationship with one's mother transcends words, time and distance and to celebrate the comfort, safety and unwavering support that we find in our mothers' arms.
A mother’s arms are the safest and most comforting space where a child can be as no other comfort can match it.
Like it is said, in childhood while playing, tired a child goes to sleep anytime and anywhere but, he or she gets up from the arms of a mother.
Human or any other living creature the role of a mother is universal.
The other day I threw a piece of loaf before a mama dog who was chased by her four puppies. The mother dog that already had the piece of loaf in her mouth, seeing the puppies chasing her,she brought out the entire piece of loaf from her mouth and spread it before them without a grumble.
It made my evening a great evening and the scene kept creeping into mind till late night.
Nothing can be more touching than this aura of motherhood that I saw.
The puppies, visibly hungry, ate the broken pieces and the mother seemingly rejoiced.
That is mother. The other name of God.
We celebrate Mothers’ day in May and that is a feeling of pride like a valve inside a heart. Mother is not just a person; she is the nucleus or even heartbeat of the family.
She requires no prompter yet plays the role of anchor of our souls whose arms are made of tenderness and her heart is stitched threads of love and pure selflessness that never ends.
Heaven at her feet
Motherhood is a challenge that exists million miles above human thoughts of any ordinary relationship. So to celebrate this challenging unpaid job of motherhood, Mother's Day is marked to show love, appreciation and recognition for her irreplaceable role in a family.
Because, mother is so enormous that no mortal being can fathom that.
If you are thousand miles away from home and you are in some kind of mental or physical pain, there is one who can feel it and that is the mother.
Greater than any pilgrimage
Whoever you are, when a mother looks at her child, old or young, she asks one question ‘have you eaten something?’
Look at a mother and try to smile back at you and that is as big as any pilgrimage in life. One needs no God or image in-between.
She hides within immeasurable pain to make the child smile.
