CHLDREN WHO DO NOT HAVE CHARACTER AS ITS OBJECTIVE !!! -------- Children who do not have good qualities, education which does not have character as its objective, and life which has no morality are purposeless and without any use. An individual who has no peace of mind and the world which has no moon shining in it are similar and are without use and purpose in this world. The True Devotee Pavitratma Swarupas! Every item of creation in this world has some distinctive feature and a character of its own. If any item in this world gives up this distinctive aspect, it will destroy itself. Here are some examples for this. Fire has the ability and quality to burn. Water has the ability to flow. Man has got the quality of human nature, and an animal has the

quality of being a brute. When the ability to burn disappears, you cannot call it fire. When the ability to flow disappears, you cannot call it water. When the inner vision or the basic human nature disappears, you cannot call him a man. When the external vision or the brute nature disappears, you cannot call it an animal. Here we see that for everything there is an inherent quality, and this constitutes the life for that particular item. To have an inner vision is the natural quality of a human being. By its very definition, an animal can look only externally. One may, in form, be a human being; but if he has only external vision and is unable to see within himself, he cannot be called a human being. He will be called an animal. Because a prescribed quality is being exhibited or worn as a cloak by each one of these items, this quality is also being called its

dharma. This dharma takes many different forms. When any one item exceeds the natural dharma or quality characteristic of itself and promotes something in excess, then that will be referred to as an attempt to promote dharma. Just as by effort, a student in a particular class can be promoted to a higher class, an individual by promoting his own natural dharma and giving attention to something higher and nobler can earn promotion to a higher level. A lifeless piece of iron can be converted to a set of several useful implements by successive heat treatments. 12 Summer Roses on the Blue Mountains, 1976Ram ChuganiKobe, Japanrgcjp
