5. Ama La

(ft. Anoushka Shankar)

The real teacher of compassion, in every human being’s life, is our mother. We are born from our mother. Our common experience, our life starts with tremendous affection and care. So, in that respect, females have this special responsibility. Now, again, scientists say, when someone is passing through difficulties, painful experiences, that biologically, females have the feeling of [being] more sensitive to others’ pain. With that background, I think the young children should receive maximum affection. And then parents, and particularly mothers, should spend more time with their children. This, I think, is very important. So, mother is, I think, the person who introduces to us the value of love, value of compassion. So, real teacher in every human being’s life, the real teacher of compassion, is our mother.
