A philosopher once said, "Body is an instrument of the Self". Body is the material entity while the Self is the conscious entity experiencing the material world. Nobody has ever seen the Self but its presence is felt somewhere inside, somewhere behind our own eyes. You see others as material beings while you see yourself through an entirely different perspective. When you look inside you see the Self & not always your material body.
The world is moving ahead with a very fast pace; people want to see a huge success in a very short time period. People are engaged into so many worldly matters that they have no time to understand what’s actually going on, why everybody is so competitive and why they get sad if they do not achieve something big in life. Social Media and Advertising is good for business but somewhere on the inside people start feeling that “I also want to become Face of a Brand & want People to know, Who I Am”. Well, it's good to become something but what’s more important is to know what life is actually.
Others put the burden of their wishes upon their child. They send their children for swimming, football, piano, tuition classes and what not. It’s like they never wanted a child but a machine that can work 24 hours as soon as possible. While they keep their child so busy, they work hard upon how to gain maximum through the child. You see that on television, Right?
First, the child sees a lot of success at an early age & later to sustain the fame & income they try everything that’s possible. Sometimes, they get into depression & suffer through anxiety issue and because they never understood the real meaning of life, it gets quite very difficult for them to come out of those issues.
Knowledge about the life, spirituality and moral values should be instilled in a child at a very early age. Otherwise, it gets difficult for them to have this point of view later in life.
First, let’s understand how a child should be and what you should expect from the child:
- Healthy: People these days compromise health on account of success. While they gain respect in front of people they don’t even know, they suffer endlessly with themselves. You spend most of the time with yourself; if you are not healthy then how would you be able to experience freedom and happiness. The body should be healthy so that you can have a life free from physical pain and suffering.
- Intelligent: When your body is in good condition, in order to experience happiness through the five senses you should know what is real happiness and what is actually required to be happy. Without Intelligence, you would not be able to see the reality of life, have a good conversation with other people and take care of your health. Your progress in life depends upon what decisions you take & your decisions become the source of your glory & sorrow.
- Strong: Strong does not always mean physically. It also means strength of the mind. A person should have a balance of physical & mental strength. Through this strength, a person would be able to help others and bring a change for good in the society. Strength to support the right and oppose the wrong.
- Enlightened: Enlightened means having great knowledge, understanding and being spiritually aware. Knowledge regarding worldly matters, in order to take right decisions and to progress you need to have this knowledge. But no matter what, only the one who is spiritually aware i.e. the one who knows the True Self will always experience happiness from inside (not through the five senses) even if things outside go wrong. Because only he will know that worldly problems will come and go but the Self is eternal and infinite.

Now, you do not have to do something extraordinary. Only by doing these basic things every week (if it’s not possible for you to do it every day) you can give your child a beautiful life while making him a good human being:
- Give Time to Your Child: Remember what I told you in the first line, children are sensitive. When they are young, try to be friends with them & ask them how was their day. Children are attention grabbers and they are willing to share things with you. Never judge them. Some money minded parents may think that, by earning money they are doing a great job. But giving time to children will make them emotionally and mentally strong. Their happiness is yours, Right?
- Teach them How to Live a Balanced Life: When your child is little grown up, like 7 or 8, talk with them about various aspects of life. You may think that its too early, but children are intelligent enough to understand that and talk about general things only. Talk with them about how to balance professional life, family, love life and maintain a good physique. Only a balanced life can bring happiness and satisfaction in the true sense. Otherwise, dissatisfaction from one aspect will lead to disturbance in other aspects of life.
- Importance of Dharma (Righteousness): At the time of confusion and difficulties only Dharma shows the right path. Dharma is not religion or following a set of rules. It is simple. Dharma is your responsibilities. Be responsible for your body (first house), loved ones (fifth house) and society (ninth house). That is why houses first, five and ninth are known as houses of Dharma in astrology. It requires a very subtle intellect to understand what Righteousness is and how to take right decisions.
- Share your Experiences Carefully: Depending upon the child’s age share your experiences with your child. Personal experiences can help develop mind but while doing so you should be careful. Avoid sharing those experiences which do not help mind grow, especially bad experiences which can hurt moral values of a child. Sometimes children tend to receive negative thoughts more quickly than positive ones. Make your child intelligent enough to handle problems while keeping high moral values.
- Do not Intrude into Privacy: While keeping a check on your child’s activity, do not let them know you are keeping an eye on them. Otherwise, this will give them a tendency to lie with you. If you find that something is not right, then instead of being harsh at first, create similar situations in front of the child so that he can realize that what he is doing is not right. This might be difficult and not always be possible. Suppose, your child does not maintain good table manners, then imitate the child (not in an insulting way) to tell him this does not look nice. You can also make them understand by telling stories of other people.
Children & parents are meant to be happy with each other. Kindly, keep all materialistic desires aside for a while & experience this happiness.
