When the gourd starts growing, the gardener hangs a small stone at its end, so that the pull may make it grow straight, when it grows larger, a heavier stone is used. So too, according to the age level of the child, the discipline enforced must become harder and harder in order that the child may grow straight forward, steady and strong. Knowledge can be imparted by the teacher but the discipline, the rigorous control of senses and the behaviour of the child must be administered by the parents. Then only can the children become sacred souls, holy and sanctified individuals. Even while the minds of children are tender and their hearts are unsoiled, children must be trained to purify and sweeten their thoughts, words and deeds.
Children learn a lot through example.
Thus, the homes in which the children grow, as indeed all homes, have to be clear and with vibrations free from hatred, envy, greed, spite and hypocrisy. Parents should promote respectful behaviour in the homes. Thus parents whose behaviour and conduct is contrary to what is spoken or taught to their children create, a storm of doubt, a dichotomy is raised in the child's minds. Tuning in - 3 minutes of silence. A cheat makes himself a thief.
