I already told you about the big questions that Apra has asked me, ‘What is love?’ and who had put her into her mother’s belly. There was another one which I really think goes deeper than it shows from just the words: my daughter asked me ‘Do children come from love?’
This time, it was not so much the answer which I had to think about. That was easy: yes, children come from love! More than that, it was the way how she came to this conclusion I had to wonder about.
I have a slight idea – and I really like it, if her thoughts really came from this direction. In our talks, Apra and I talk about every possible matter that comes in our minds. When I had been in Delhi recently and came back after the whole day, I told her ‘I was missing you!’ Apra looked at me and asked ‘What does that mean, ‘missing’?’ Well, I told her, I love you and when I am not with you, I think of you and miss you!
Love is a topic in our talks quite often – and we all mention to Apra quite frequently that we love her. Pretty much everyone at the Ashram does this! We tell her that we all love her, that we love the boys who live with us like her brothers.
In my imagination this is where the question came from. She knows that I love her Ma and her Ma loves me. I told her that my parents loved each other. And she knows that these loving couples have children…
She knows that children are loved, that we all love kids and when someone comes with a small child, we say ‘oh, how lovely!’
So do children come from love?
Oh yes, they do. They are a product of love and they also increase love, double, triple, many times!
