What do You say about those fathers who are more loving than their mothers?

[Swami: Moreover, the love of the mother to her child is million times greater than that of the father. Hence, the Veda gives a first place to mother by saying that first the mother shall be worshipped (Mātṛdevo Bhava).

Hrushikesh: I have met some fathers who love their children million times more than mothers. Like I met a father who sacrificed his entire life for his son despite of the fact that his wife committed suicide at a young age. The father took care of his son like a mother and never remarried in his life. So what do You say about those fathers who are more loving than their mothers?]

Swami replied:- Even the example of the father showing exceptional love to son is very minor case only. Moreover, in that case, the wife committed suicide (The reasons of the suicide are not given by you. If the reasons are the atrocities done by males on females, again, this shows the freedom of males and lack of freedom of females). I never said that the mother has 100% affection on children whereas the father has 0% affection on children. The father is also having great affection for the children because the bond to children is the strongest and nobody has crossed it so far (hence, it is called Anaahata chakra). Moreover, in this case also, you have not studied it completely to arrive at this conclusion. He might not have had the opportunity to find a new wife (especially if the reasons for the suicide of his wife given by Me are correct). Since the mother bears the child in her womb for 9 months giving its entire body and since a child drinks her milk for a long time, it is universal fact accepted by all human beings that the love and affection of the mother to the issue is the highest. If your imagination changes the minority into majority and if the male delivers the child and feeds milk to the child, then we will reverse our entire policy to favour males.
