Family

A spiritual talk on the importance of family and community.

"If there is no happy family and if the children have no good relation to the family, then those children may make some mistakes in the world."

"Once a week invite all your friends to your home and sit together, eat something, and speak... create a friendly, healthy, happy, and harmonious relation with the friends."

The speaker addresses the fragmentation of modern family life, using the example of spouses working in different parts of Sydney and retreating to separate screens at home. He advocates for consciously creating a happy family unit and suggests a weekly, simple gathering with friends to foster healthy community bonds.

Another very important thing for us is to create a happy family. If there is no happy family and if the children have no good relation to the family, then those children may make some mistakes in the world. So we are divided slowly, slowly. We are separated. You are working. One is working in North Sydney, the other is working in South Sydney. The husband is in South Sydney and the wife is in North Sydney. Evening comes home, the husband is looking at the television, the wife goes to the kitchen. I don't know, do they do like this? I think so. After that, they look into the computer and the internet. So, even at home, there are five family members, everyone has in their bedrooms their televisions and their computers, and again they are divided. So now we shall all begin to create a happy family. Second, with this happy family, one suggestion is that once a week invite all your friends to your home and sit together, eat something, and speak. It must not be that you have to make many, many different kinds of varieties because you invite the friends and now you must make the cake and you must make this and that. No. Very simple. What is there is there. But the friends come together, sit there, speak there, create the relation, a friendly, healthy, happy, and harmonious relation with the friends.
