Wish of the Parents
Raising children is a profound responsibility and joy. The world presents dangers like drugs and unhealthy lifestyles. A parent's mission is fulfilled when their child is well-educated, lives healthily, and establishes a good family. Every parent wishes for their child's happiness, security, and comfort. Similarly, a spiritual guide wishes for disciples' health, happiness, and spiritual progress. Proper education is paramount. Some believe vegetarian children are unhealthy, but evidence shows otherwise. Children raised from birth on a good vegetarian diet excel in studies, secure good employment, and build good families. They exhibit brilliant concentration, robust health, and a humble, kind nature. They strive for world peace and harmony. We must hand our children a world at least as good as our own. This responsibility means offering love, wisdom, and education, not just toys or money. Their happiness becomes your happiness. Training must begin in childhood.
"Every parent, both mother and father, has one primary wish in life: that their children be happy, well-educated, and secure in a good position, leading a comfortable and joyful life."
"They do not need your toys; they need your love. They do not need your money; they need your wisdom and education."
