Neuroscientists and Parapsychologists argue: Children's intelligence is governed by hereditary factors and the environment.
The famous Doctor Francis speaks a lot about brain, genes, and its functions with the internal environment and external environment. His first son is a doctor, his second son is a computer engineer, and his daughter is an English lecturer.
The gas inside a balloon will not allow the balloon to relax freely on the ground. The balloon thinks that the greatness of it is because of the gas. But in reality, the balloon is living in a danger zone because even a small needle can cause it to pop. The moment the gas is out, the balloon is free.
Look in You always think that your mind is very powerful. And you think through your mind. Just see what an egoistic thing your mind is! It thinks that it is very great. And because as of now your mind is your master, you think that you are superior to everyone and everything.
Do not feel yourself to be so powerful by virtue of your mind. Just do this one thing to break your ego. Let your balloon pop. Release the gas.
Let you be free.
The master is like the moon.
He gives his energy to all of us.
And when he does,
we realize that his energy is our energy.
Look in
Feel the divine as all around you.
When the moon's light falls down on you, feel that light as divine light giving you guidance. When the sun shines on your face, feel the divine embracing you in a warm hug.
If you can do this, you will be able to see the divine not only in everything, but in yourself as well. Don't laugh at this. You are doing the same thing every minute of your life. You set down rules for your children; you practically make your own philosophy. You say, “Don't sleep late. Wake up early. Don't smoke.” These rules may be correct, but do you follow them? No! You smoke, you drink, you sleep late, you will be sleeping until two in the afternoon. And when your child questions you about this, what do you say? “What is my age and what is yours? Don't compare!” and by this very statement 'don't compare', you are comparing!
Look in
Stop making all your foolish philosophical statements. By this I mean your foolish philosophy, your rules. By doing this, you are simply torturing yourself and others. No good is coming out of this. Yes, you can give advice, you can give guidance. But there is no need to manipulate and make the child a buffalo! Every individual has his inborn intelligence.
Guidance is okay, but let the individual be as he wants to be.
