The children who get into trouble are simply mirroring back to themselves what they saw in others… especially their parents… so. again… if the parents are “shackled or horrible”, then that becomes their knowing.

However, if the parents had mirrored back to their children… what the children originally showed them (their innocence”… then the process of mirroring would have become “mutual”.

I believe we cannot place the responsibility on institutions such as schools, etc…

“We” must take the responsibility, by we I mean the parents… again this may require letting go of old ways of doing things… and opening the doors for the possibilities of what is… “within”

I’m so glad that how I acted in childhood was the right way to be! Family used to tell me off for being shy and at school I was often ridiculed for being so modest. Still, I’m feeling worried for the children/teenagers who don’t understand this point and get into trouble. We are not given the correct guidance or spiritual learning in the western schools, not at all. Its all about competition and nothing of spiritual progress. The 10 commandments are quoted but no-one can say how the primordial taboos are built within us and not just written out on tablets of stone.

Thank you for your comment…

And I understand what you say..

However, I would like to add…

The youngster is already a realized soul when he/she is born… yet the parent does not understand that… for the parent has already been burdened with those “shackles” Shri Mataji alluded to… and because of that the parent lacks “wisdom”… the wisdom to know that the child already “knows”.

The youngster is full of compassion toward his/her parents… and so “believes” what he/she is experiencing… because they “trust” unconditionally with their “pure divine love”. So the child takes on those new experiences of ridicule and shame as being benevolent, because they “trust” unconditionally…

What the child is missing… “perhaps” is the “wisdom” of experience, the very experience that we as adults are “free” to choose to take on “through our self realization”…

A realized parent understands that shyness, modesty and trust already abound in a child… that is their and our “innocence”… and that is why a parent takes joy in wanting to learn from the child, as does the child from the parent.

When people make fun of shyness, the person being made fun of will not be effected if he/she is a realized soul.

If not a realized soul, it will start reacting or introspecting towards realization, depending on the soul’s destiny.

It is so true that in America, Shri Rama / Moses style of commandment does not work. All the six enemies operate at full capacity, tempting souls all the time. And building up our love, attention and joy in this atmosphere independently is the only available option.

Thanks for sharing.

There are many things of great value in this article…

Firstly about Dharma… here are some quotes from Shri Mataji…

“in Sahaj you are free from all this nonsense”… this was made in reference to “these shackles” and “horrible things within us”

Secondly, again about Dharma…

“You are not slaves to anything”… the idea is that you are free people… especially when the freedom is supported by “wisdom”.

Thirdly Shri Mataji comments at the outset on the “shyness of children”… as being an “essential quality of the energy of life”… the reference is to “modesty”… She is saying that this shyness or modesty is natural in children… “children mostly have it”… I think this is wonderful to here.

But here is my question for humanity…

Why do so many make fun of the very “shyness” that is of a divine essence in our children? Perhaps these become the “horrible things in us… those things that shackle us”… and result in our feeling that we are not free.

Truly something to think about as we begin to “awaken”

This is one of peach of Shri Mataji’s talks. As I always think, one has to be extremely fortunate to get such talks and have the wisdom too to understand in the right sense.

Many of the ancient seekers spent years together with their gurus to get such divine knowledge, we are so fortunate, we get it easily. Let’s not take this for granted, let’s work towards improving ourselves and improving the society.

Thanks for posting a woderfull message.
