Question: What is the most important thing to have in mind when I am taking care of my child?

Sri Chinmoy: When you are taking care of your child, you have to think of only good things. All the good qualities that you can think of, that you can imagine, you should try to see inside your child. While you are looking at your child, try and try to see a beautiful flower inside his heart. Look at the moon, and then try to see the moon inside your child’s heart. You want your child to be as beautiful, as mild and as kind as the moon. Like that, you can look at something else that is inspiring, and that very thing you can try to see inside your child’s heart. This is how you can mould and shape your child by imagining good things, inspiring things, illumining things inside your child’s heart.
