When the child is born he is simple love. 
He has to be so because he has not known anything else. 
In the mother’s womb he has not come across any enemy. 
He has lived in deep love for nine months, 
surrounded by love, nourished by love. 
He knows nobody who is inimical to him.
He knows only the mother, he knows the mother’s love.
When he is born his whole experience is of love,
so how can you expect him to know anything about hatred?
This love he brings with himself; this is the original face.
Then there will be trouble, then there will be many other experiences.
He will start distrusting people.
A newborn child is simply born with trust.
If you are a mother, take care of the child.
He needs you, he cannot survive without you.
You are a must. He needs food, he needs love, he needs care —
but he does not need your ideology.
He does not need your ideals.
He does not need your Christianity, your Hinduism,
your Islam, your Buddhism.
He does not need your scriptures, he does not need your beliefs.
He does not need your ideals of how he should be.
Only avoid ideology, ideals, goals, ends, and then care is beautiful,
then care is innocent. Otherwise care is cunning.
