Fancy words and phrases,
Uttered by you to your children, Without showing true leadership of practice, Is hollow and empty, lacking meaning. It only teaches your child To be deceitful and hypocritical. First be honest and be sincere Of your abilities to them. Tell them your expectations of them. And of your love and encouragement for them. And make it a joint mission, For both to complete. Learn from them their innocence, And teach them the true experiences of your life, >From which you have learned. Teach them to pray all times, For My guidance. Dedicate the task of being a parent to Me. Allow Me to become your mother and father, And that of your children, And those of future generations to come. From: Sai Darshan by Seema Dewan A beautiful letter is dropped in the mailbox. The envelope is made of costly paper, the writing is in elegant calligraphy, the contents perfumed and valuable. One thing is missing, so the envelope goes to the dead letter office. Another mailing, this one scribbled on an inexpensive postcard, affixed with a stamp, travels over a thousand miles to its destination and is safely delivered to the addressee. Like letters need a stamp, service needs to be rendered with a pure consciousness, else it will yield no fruit.
