Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 OM AMRITESWARAI NAMAH IMMORTAL LIGHT - Training of Children Respect and building character Do not abuse or speak ill of any one in front of children. Children will imitate you. Wealth will come today and will be gone tomorrow, but good character will last the whole life. Therefore, rich parents also should ensure that their children grow up to become humble and self-reliant. Children should be taught to be humble towards teachers and spiritual masters. Learning, especially that of a spiritual nature, will be fruitful only in the soil of humility. There are those who think children attending school need not do any other work. That is not right. School education is not enough for life. Children should learn to do all the tasks at home. Parents who sing lullabies and tell stories to children at bed time should use hymns and spiritual stories for this purpose. This will also help the children keep God alive in their thoughts. The spiritual culture will take deep roots in their subconscious. Be selective in choosing books for them to read as well. :: >From the book of Immortal Light - Advice to Householders (english translation of the original Malayalam "Amrita Jyoti") Amma Sharanam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
