On raising kids – me, my Guru
Svetha questioned her again “but i
want my child to smile always and be happy always “.
“Yes, every parent's wish and desire
but still, the painful truth is it is not so.......
they have to fall, fail, be hurt,
fall sick and suffer various lows of life”
“But then Guruji what is the difference between us and other
(non reiki) parents (i would suggest you better read it as non sadhaks or
people with no clarity or love for their child!)?” asked someone from the side.
Our Guru replied “The answer
is :
a.Be there for the child when he
fails or falls - without judging or lecturing......just be there for
him.......you can lecture later when he has risen......but then just stand
there with him......
b. don't let your fear stop him from
experiencing life in toto .....
c. don't let him be dependent on you
and the comforts you give him.......teach him to fend for himself....teach him
to be independent , i would go a step further and say, teach him to take care of others too.
d. you can't stop him from getting
hurt but you can teach him not to hurt others, to be sensitive towards
others be it human or animal or plant - life in general.......
e. don't think of saving him from
harsh realities of life instead give him strength to face realities of life
f. don't push him to think life is
all about winning......teach him to give his best and to work on himself to
better himself in every aspect of life.....if possible teach him to help others
win in life.......teach him to help others realize their dreams
g. your upbringing can make him
think that he deserves all the best in the world and that everyone and the
world owes him service and are here to wait on him.......beware of this damage
you can teach him to be grateful for
all that he has and receives
you can teach him to be good to all
you can teach him to be selfless
you can teach him to be HUMANE!
