The Seeds of Light

In our age, It is hard to deny that children are one of the important symbolical Gurus. Especially because your kids do not give you an other choices except to take good care of them. If you are not in line with your spouse, there's the choice of getting divorce. If you are not matched with your boss, you can move to another workplace. But if you have problems with the kids, you have no choice of running away.

And if you are skillful enough, your life calling to take good care of the children can be transformed into a deep spiritual journey. For that reason, do not see your children as a burden of life. Learn to see children as fishermen see the ocean, or like farmers taking good care of their fields.

As we all know, without the ocean the fishermen can not work. Without rice fields, the farmers have no job. In the same way, without the presence of children, particularly children with problems, the soul of parents will never grow, and will never shine as well.

That is the reason why in the meditation classes the students are enriched by this message: "children are not the property of the parents. Children are the seeds of light which are sent by the future". Any parent who successfully takes good care of the seeds of light, they will not only heal the children, but also heal their own soul.

In a simple but profound logic, there are two ways of emitting the light. First, by being the light. Second, by being a clear and clean mirror that reflects the light. Spiritual friends who have been taking good care of the children for more than a quarter of a century will understand, when the parents are clean and clear to see the children, in a matter of time the soul of the parents will emit the light.

To make it concrete, let the children grow according to their natural calling. Never treat children as puppets of the parents. Learn to be sensitive to the unique way the children grows during childhood. Pay attention to their friends, games, school reports, how children spend their leisure time, what kind of recreation they enjoy.

In psychology there is an approach called the not knowing approach of therapy. To make it simple, learn not to use someone else's measurement to measure the children. For example, suppose that the neighbors kids like to learn on the computer, then do not force other children to learn on the computer as well.

It will be better if parents can speak the language of the children. If they play, go and play with them. If the children are singing, sing together. When children love to dance, join them to dance. In this way, parents can enter into the world of the child in a very deep way.

The important signs that parents are getting in touch with the world of the children, is when the children share many personal and confidential matters with the parents. From a wet dream until having a girlfriend. To monitor the development of children, it is important to check their trash cans. What do they drink, eat, read, normally it can be seen in a garbage can. Above all, always remember that the best measurement of love is to love without any measurement.

Through such an approach, the parents are not only save the lives of the children, but also preparing for beautiful old age. In some studies of death, it is often mentioned, the thing which is transferred from one body to another at the moment of death, is the habitual energy. And anyone who has the habits to treat children as the seeds of light, or has the habits of sharing the light, there is a possibility that they will be reborn in the realms of light.
