It is common among youngman and girls who are brought up in luxurious
environment, to become addict to some habits without which they won't be able
to pass their time. Evidently, they have no footing in spirituality. They feel
that communication tools serve only for entertainment purpose. They feel that
it is normal to eat spicy dishes, chitchat with friends watching pictures and
while away their time in some harmful manner. When they become burden to the
parents, it will become late for the parents to correct their behaviour since
they have been brought up in such atmosphere. Swami says that the parents are
mainly responsible for the behaviour of their children. In this respect, the
Mother is the foremost among the teachers. Though they can shower their
affections on the little kids, the mother has to show her toughness when the
children resort to some wrong behaviour. We should never cater to the whims and
fancies of the children. Children generally love choclates, icecreams etc. The
mother know that it will spoil the health as well as the appetite. In fact
sweets spoil the children and they become rude in their behaviour. Savories are
some times better than sweets. Swami has warned the young students not to
resort to reading to comic books and horror stories. They distort their
conscious invisibly. Hence Swami termed the Television as Televisham or Poison.
In the name of pampering, we give undue freedom to the children with the result
they become incorrigible in their adulthood. Hence Balavikas programmes were
conceived by Swami in the begining. If in todays world, there is some sort of
control, it is mainly due to those children who are trained in Balavikas. While
talking to John Hislop, Swami has once said, that the world has not
disintegrated because of Sai Devotees and their activities. There was a huge
transformation during the previous decades which has spread alround the globe.
