 A child belongs to a poor background. One day when he was returning home from school with his friends, they (his friends) bought candies. He, however, had no money but still stole the candy because he wanted one. He did not eat it there, he went to his home and shared it with his mother. His mother 'appreciated' this and gave him a hug.
This was a significant event in his childhood as the fact that his mother appreciated the fruit of his theft reinforced into his psyche that it was OK to steal things which you cannot buy. As we see later, this is repeated in his life at various points.
When the child grew, his friends got bicycles and he too wanted one. And just like the candy in his early years, he stole the bicycle too. He goes on to show the bicycle to his mom. She likes the fact that he has the bicycle in his possession and remarks that he can now go 'home from the school faster' and gives him a hug.
This event again reiterates the fact that stealing is OK, in fact, it is appreciated by his mother. at this point, this is engraved in the child's mind. Also, another fact to notice is that the mother says he can come home from school faster, rather than reaching school faster and early or on time. This also shows where her moral compass lies. The other fact to note at this point is that she never asks what is the sources of the things that he got.
After several years, the kid grows to be a man. He steals a car when his friends get cars. He takes it to his home and shows it to his mom. This time she is proud of him and even involves the spiritual angles of taking the car for Murat to Ambaji. They go there and do the required ceremony. Again, she rewards his son with a hug.
This man is now a seasoned thief and would rather steal something than to work towards it. As with other incidents of his life, his mother reinforces this action. This time she also includes 'GOD' in this and makes a very big deal out of it.
The man later steals some money when in need. However, unlike every other time in his life, he is caught by the police and sent to jail. When his mom came to know about this, she ran to the jail crying. Once there, after shedding some light on what happened, her son asks her to give him a hug. That's when he bites her nose off.
This is the first time that someone else besides his mother gets to know of his theft. And once prosecuted he realizes that all his actions starting from stealing the candies were wrong all along. He is angry at his mother for not making him realize that and knowingly or unknowingly, raised him to be a thief and spoiled his life and stole his future. She did not guide him well and hence failed to do her duty as a parent/guardian. Had she stopped him from going to the wrong tracks on the first instance of theft itself, he would have been an honest man earning his own money and working towards buying what he wishes. Instead of being nice and good to him all the time (even when he made these mistakes), she is responsible for him being in jail.
