“…Even if you have the best children you can ruin them by this kind of stupid idea, that: “that’s my child, this is mine”. Expose your children to good things, tell them what is good. Tell them how to be good to others, tell them to look after them, tell them how to press the feet of others, how to comb the hair, how to give food to others. Teach them, let them carry little trays and feed others, the birds, let them give water to the flowers. Don’t make them small. Some of the children are really dynamic, great saints born to you, but you are ruining them…” 1990 Diwali Puja
