AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

How to deal with children with regard to the digital world๐Ÿ“ฑ?

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,

Alok Da

Namaste Sir. In one quote, the Mother has said: “Give up trying, give up the will to progress, give up the aspirations for realisation, give up everything and say to the lord in all sincerity, let thy will be done.” If we give up everything, what will make us to work and search for the divine? ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธโœจ

It is the penultimate stage of sadhana somewhat like Sri Krishna’s final injunction to Arjuna, sarvadharmanparityajya, to give up all Dharmas and take refuge in Him alone.
