In spiritual life, every woman can play the role of mother: daughter, wife, girlfriend or disciple - all can be mother. Motherhood is the independent status of a woman which cannot be compared to fatherhood.
Usually we only apply the term of mother to a married woman who gives birth to a child. But in tantra, the woman with whom you practise is regarded as your mother. In this sense, mother does not mean progenitor, but refers to the cosmic force ~ Shakti.
Therefore, aspire to be a mother, but not only the mother of a child; become the universal divine Shakti.
