There is a deeper concept underlying the idea of Mama Lushen.
When a young child speaks to his mother he speaks with no inhibitions to ask what he needs. "I'm hungry." Plain and simple.
But when he grows up and has a mind of his own he begins to think before he speaks and stops expressing himself naturally. He is careful not to say something that will contradict something he has said previously, even if he wants to say it. He may refrain from speaking at all, even if he desperately wants to, for fear that his words today may cause complications tomorrow.
This is not the world of a child. He simply says, "Do this. I'm tired. I want."
This is the idea of Mama Lushen, to speak simply what is in one's heart.
It is the language of being present.
