How to deal with children with regard to the digital world📱?

The way forward is to educate them early even as a child. Children need to understand the right use as well as disadvantages of the digital world just as they have to be taught the right use of fire or of knife.

Secondly, while they are growing up certain red lines have to be drawn by parents and teachers until the higher secondary school.

Thirdly, refinement of the vital and the awakening of the sense of the true and the beautiful so that they spontaneously discern and reject whatever is ugly.

Finally, the parents and teachers must set an example themselves with regard to the children and younger generation.

Affectionately,

3. The subject itself may not be interesting or else presented in an interesting way that connects with the students. One should be creative and try to find better ways of engaging them with interesting examples.

Silence is always better when people try to insult you. Speaking up, retaliating over personal insults drags us down to the level of the person who is insulting. We unwittingly identify with the other person and sully our consciousness. ..

1. As we discussed, I haven’t yet been picked up by the Grace of Mother Mirra in any manner that is transparent to me. I aspire and I pray to the Divine Feminine, the Shakti of the Brahman, as my Mother and ask Her for grace and consecrate what I can to Her. Will this do as an entirely parallel or transient gesture until I have a more specific opening to Mother Mira? 🌸🌱🙏🏻 […]
