Radhe krishna,
Good morning & have a blessed day,

IDEAL PARENTS

Swami Sivananda

They are worthy of highest adoration. The Children should look upon
them a Gods on earth. They should obey them implicitly, 'reverently
listen to their advice, and carry out their instructions with love.
They should never hurt their feelings or behave rudely. Just as the
parent longs with eagerness to make his child shine in the foremost
ranks in society, even so the son should conduct himself in such a
noble way that the world may remark, " If so noble is the son, how
much greater and grander indeed should be the fortunate parent of this
worthy one??" The conduct of the son should add glory to the father.


NEGATIVE SOLUTIONS WILL NOT WORK
You are your own very best friend. Within you there exists total
solutions to all problems
in your life, total solutions, not negative solutions. The ostrich
also has got a negative solution.
If someone comes to attack it, it does not want to feel threatened; it
buries its head under the
sand. Then it cannot see anyone attacking it. Like the ostrich, people
try to have a negative
solution. “No, there is no enemy.” “Why?” “I don’t see anyone.” And so
they think that they
have solved the problem. But this kind of solution

burying the head in the sand

does not
work. It does not work, because the attacker comes and kills the bird.
There is a lovely story in Brindavan in connection with child Krishna.
He was worrying
His mother to give Him milk. She said: “What do you mean ... I’ve just
now given you milk ...
and it is still not time for the next ... “When is it time?” the child
asked. “Night time” said the
mother. “What do you mean by night time?” “When the sun sets, when it
is dark, that is the time
for your supper. At that time you can have milk.” “What do you mean by
‘dark’
?”
“Dark”
is
when you cannot see anything, when nothing is visible. Then is the
time to drink milk.” So the
child Krishna closed His eyes and said, “Mother! It is dark and I
can’t see anything. Nothing is
visible. So now ... please ... it is time for my ... give me my milk”.
This also is a type of
solution! It is a very clever solution.
In the case of the ostrich, it was a foolish solution. In the case of
child Krishna, it was a
very clever solution. But both of them do not achieve anything.

The seekers who austerely transform the objectifying energy into the
Conscious Power that causes the blossoming of the self-sense into the
objectless Consciousness are the integrated aspirants of the Absolute,
whose power is used to carry on profound spiritual meditation.
