In short
- Children copy what is done and ignore what is said.
- Be what you want them to become.
- Keep the naam audible in the house and the evening simple.
- Never make devotion a punishment.
They copy, they do not listen
Children copy what is done and ignore what is said.
A child who sees a calm parent learns more than a child who is lectured. Sanskar is passed on by example far more than by instruction.
At home
- Keep the naam audible in the house, so it is ordinary, not special
- Keep the evening simple
- Do not make devotion a punishment or a chore given for bad behaviour
When the family disagrees
Devotion that creates conflict at home has misunderstood itself. Chant quietly, serve your family better than before, and let the change in your behaviour make the case.
