「Prostrate with mother」as something most「every person」has done at some time during life, normally while still very young, and「prostrate cross-stroking, incitement.」Note the Japanese stroke count is one less. ENLIGHTEN refers to giving information or instruction encouraging intellectual or moral change.

SHREWD, CLEVER, NIMBLE and SENSITIVE when combined with the transfer of information while lying with one's mother and stroking all point to MOTHER-SON INTIMACY that likely occurs while in bed:「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」

「Enlighten and pass along knowledge of sensitive areas, shrewdly prostrate with mother and stroking.」Clearly an uncomfortable topic, especially for anyone who chooses to deny the occurrence of this behavior. Nevertheless, note that 'mother fucking' likely is not something a young boy is capable of, and that this behavior is nearly always initiated by the mother toward a son, not vice versa. Research for yourself how over-bearing mothers having incest with sons and how that apparently engenders psychopathy: SHREWD.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that),
representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created.
If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system!
Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles?
Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today.
Sex had no shame in ancient China.
Why would it?
But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?
No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else.
This site describes glyph meanings, not people.
These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect.
The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language?
(More...)
Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better?
Or could they have been worse?
By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs,
you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon.
This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
