Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Dear All, This post is the first of a series on " Shri Mataji's Vision for World Peace " . Shri Mataji does not just give general advice, but She addresses every detail. Enjoy! violet Shri Mataji's Vision for World Peace - Part 1 We have to get awakened to the fact that in recent decades, a great destruction has been caused to our moral values as a result of our children, parents and families, getting influenced by the chaotic conditions of modern times. In order to secure a peaceful social and political order, it is essential to make every endeavour to resuscitate moral values. For this purpose we must begin at the roots. We must give the greatest possible attention to our children, to their proper upbringing. For the children of today are the citizens of tomorrow. Today's children will constitute future society. It is not an investment in armaments which will secure a truly peaceful future. It is the investment in our children which will yield invaluable dividends in the shape of a peaceful and moral society in the near future. First of all we have to look after our children and this can be done well only if the parents understand how crucially important this responsibility is. The parents owe it to their children, to their society and indeed to their country, to give special attention to the upbringing of the young ones of the family. Looking at the way things are today, it seems necessary to educate the parents themselves about their responsibilities and duties in this regard. To begin with, the destructive knowledge bequeathed by Freud must be thrown into the sea, once and for all. This can be achieved by keeping Freudian psychology out of the syllabus of studies in schools and colleges. Parents should spend time with the children instead of leaving the house with their swimsuits for a holiday. Life is fun but discipline is also necessary. A complete check must be kept as to where the children go, when they return and who their friends are. Parents should keep very pleasant company with their children. If this is done, children will look forward to the pleasure of spending time with their loving parents, instead of roaming around as street urchins. The aptitude of children should be discovered and encouraged. Children's company provides a great deal of innocent joy.
