Goals, in other words, healthy ambitions of life, are as important as food is to life. From early childhood, a child begins to show his natural inclinations, unconsciously, subconsciously, or willingly.  Parents should make a note of it and make a point of providing the right atmosphere to let the child’s talent flourish.

 Lucky are those who are exposed to a wide variety of lifestyles in their childhood. Unconsciously, children adopt a fixed pattern of life suited to their abilities, talents, and interests. Children are surely the future of the world. Utmost interest and attention should be given by the government, society and family members to shape the future of the world.

 The world is getting smaller, and horizons of self-concern are expanding like space every day. We will no longer fit in a pigeonhole economy. Liberty has never recommended a license. Freedom is that which we can enjoy without depriving others of the same facilities. Real humanity is supposed to enjoy and live together in peace. My grandfather’s sister, whom we called Bua-dadi, taught me as a child: Baanta chota khaaee Gangaa Nahaaee. It means: Always share your food with others and enjoy your life like bathing in the fresh waters of a River (Gangaa River). It made a lasting impression on me. We are here to share and care for each other as much as possible

 One of my spiritual teachers in Varanasi, whom we addressed as Mataji, left everlasting impressions on me. She was a theosophist. Wearing an orange Saaree always, she smelt like a fresh orange-colored flower, and how much I wanted to be like her! I cannot explain the aching and happiness I felt in my little bosom at that tender age. Once she told me: Give only a little bit of yourself to God like a little sesame seed. And I still feel guilty that I gave God only a little bit, but the rewards are so much more than  I ever deserved. To me, the older generation is a great source of inspiration. They help to charge the battery of life, which goes down every now and then.
