68-Mother’s Food

Mother’s Food
Rabash

A mother who feeds her children

Even though she has to buy the food and prepare it,

To have it ready to eat,

This involves work

Nevertheless she feeds them.

But one should discern between the two actions: 1. Actions that she has to give up 2. Actions that will not consider giving up Meaning to buy the food and prepare it, To be ready for eating.

These are the actions she would give up.
As we see with rich people,
Who have someone who buys the food
And there is a cook.

This indicates that these are actions
She can give up.
But to watch the children eat,
This she cannot give up.

And even though when the mother looks at them
she does not eat,

In this case she gives up for herself

And only enjoys from watching

How her children eat.

And it will never occur to the mother to think:

What will I get from watching

my little children are eat.
And she does not expect anything

in this world and in the next world.

And the reason is

Because she receives pleasure

from this action

Therefore she has no need for reward.
