Namdhari head Thakur Dalip Singh ji addressing the parents said that every parent wants their children to have the same character and manners as their own. (or what they desire). The kind of rites that parents want to create in their children; For that they need to give the same environment to their children (which is not possible).
Thakur ji gave some suggestions to the parents for the fulfillment of their heart's desire saying “Think! You consider the sacraments that have come or were in you; Where did they come from and how? How was your nature formed? the time you were born, the environment you were brought up in; What rituals did your parents and everyone else give you until you were 20 years old? What people did you associate with? The environment you found in childhood and growing up; Are your children getting the same environment? If not found; So you cannot expect your children to have the same nature, culture and habits as you”.
Thakur ji also explained to the parents of the children, “Which are the rites of your present or past childhood; There were and are very big reasons behind that, due to which you have become a nature today. The problem is that any one or ten-twenty people together, whatever they want; They cannot create the same environment. Because, it is not only extremely difficult to create the same environment for children all around; is impossible If you want the children to be given such an environment, which changes the entire environment or the children do not even get the air of another environment; So it is not possible. Nowadays, with TV, Internet, mobile phones, etc., such an environment has become at home that there is no need to be influenced by the external environment”.
Telling the parents about the children, Thakur Dalip Singh ji said “If your children, like you, do not follow your manners; So you should not be too angry with your children. You must accept the bitter truth that your environment and the environment of today's new generation and their company; are completely separate. Therefore, our children's nature cannot be like ours. Acknowledging the changing times: Parents should keep up with their children as much as possible. Parents also need to create the kind of character they want from their children. Because, children imitate parents”.
