"Very often mothers go to work right away after the child is born and, unless the father or someone else stays home, this is quite serious. A baby has to be near its kin most of the time when he is little for three, four or five years.

"One asana is strong, then again another is very soft and gentle. So you have this modulation from one asana to another, just as you have from one feeling to another.

"The situation with children is not good in America, nor in other countries. It may be much worse in other countries. It is not just because of the lack of money.
