Each child is a white marble for the teacher and the parents to mould into an image of God, a bud to be helped to blossom in all its Divine glory so that it becomes a worthy offering to God. Children generally are good by nature and willing to do their duty and shine well in studies. The cause of the vagaries, waywardness and occasional indiscipline lies with the elders who set poor examples of truth and self-control. From the most impressionable years the children should be taught to cultivate love for all. Love leads to unity.
Unity promotes purity.
Purity leads to Divinity. The first requisite for children is to have love and regard for parents to whom they owe everything. A sapling can be helped to grow straight, but once it becomes a tree it cannot be guided in its growth. Children must grow in the awareness of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. Children must grow up in the atmosphere of reverence, devotion, mutual service and co-operation.
