peace of mind - "Parents and Children"

By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

“We cannot preach to today’s children about self control, devotion, prayer and conduct the way we did long ago. Parents can no longer depend on the same control that parents once did. Admonishments from another time should not be used on the children of today. Although they may pretend for your sake to conform for a while, they simply will not accept these attitudes.”

“Live your own lives with tolerance, patience, peacefulness, contentment, trust in God and gratitude in God and embrace your children in that state. In every word there must be a point that the child’s education, awareness and level of wisdom can realize and accept. If you yell at your children and try to force them in the right direction, preaching to them in a way they cannot accept, you will insult their hearts and minds and destroy the ties of affection that bind you together.”

“No matter how much wrong your children do, no matter how many faults they commit, as a human being you must protect them with a love that is boundless, a love that melts and flows from your heart. There is nothing that cannot be controlled with love. Even the most venomous snake will fall before you if you stroke it with love.”
