Hello friends,
This is Mohanji.
Today I would like to speak about a subject which is very close to my heart,
Children.
Children of all species are the same for me.
They are children,
They are just children.
And I like to take care of all these children because they are the future.
So the point I would like to tell here is,
Especially in India,
When you walk through the streets,
You can see a lot of children selling things and some children trying to beg and trying to get some money from you,
Etc.
I do not really like to give money to children.
Instead I would like to give them food.
I'd like to give them clothes,
Etc.
Why I don't give money is because there are probably somebody else behind them who is trying to extract money through children.
Because of sympathy we will give them money and there are people behind them or owning them who are probably trying to make use of them to get money.
So I would like to help the children as best as we can.
How can we help them?
First of all,
When they are selling something,
Do not bargain.
You give them maybe 5 or 10 rupees more,
That's fine.
Don't bargain.
Secondly,
Ask the question,
Are you hungry?
If they are hungry,
Get them something to eat.
Give them water.
Show some love and nurturing.
And if we can,
We should take care of them in a more detailed way,
Such as we take care of their education or to get them admission to school,
Books,
Clothes,
All those things.
We are trying to do that through Mohanjika Aangan.
We are trying to help as many children as possible through that.
But that's not enough.
We should really,
Really take care of them.
It's not just like meeting them sometime.
We should nurture them,
Take care of them,
And make them powerful citizens of the country,
Of the world.
Please understand,
All children are the same in all species.
I really like to look at all children as the same,
Not human children as special.
All children are the same,
And they are very precious for their mothers.
So we must make sure,
Wherever possible,
That the mothers and children are together.
So this is very important.
And now we have also read or heard or seen in television,
Etc.
,
The mothers killing children and giving them poison,
Etc.
These are connected to mental disturbances,
Psychological disorders.
They need treatment.
But what happens is,
When somebody does something like that,
We immediately victimize them,
Convict them,
And jail them.
So this is what happens.
Instead,
We should understand,
Or in the hospitals,
Doctors should be trained to understand the mental states of the mothers.
We should also keep an eye on such people who are abusing children,
Who are tending to abuse children,
To beat them,
To starve them,
Etc.
And we've got to do something about it.
We have to gently get the children out of them or help the children or alert the authorities to take care of the children,
Something like that.
So we can prevent various crimes of that nature.
So children should be really,
Really taken care of.
And I do not like to bargain at all to the small vendors,
Because that's silly.
Like these daily wagers,
The people who sell vegetables from their garden,
Don't bargain with them.
Give them something extra,
Because they're doing a good job,
And they're not making a fortune out of it.
So when I see children on the road selling small things,
I buy them even if I don't need them,
Just to give them some money.
And sometimes I try to give them money.
And almost always I have seen that these children,
They are very honest.
If you give them money without buying anything,
They won't take your money.
They're not here to beg.
They don't want to take money as arms.
They would like to sell and earn money.
So we can at least avoid bargaining.
That would help.
We can avoid bargaining,
And we can give them a little bit extra to encourage them.
And especially when you see them,
You ask the question,
Are you hungry?
Make it a point to ask this question to anybody in the street whom you think is hungry.
And food and water,
That's a big deal.
You know,
We can actually make a difference in their life by this.
So I'd like to leave this thought with you now.
When you're going out on the street,
You can see them and try to make a difference in their lives.
Not only them,
The street vendors,
The old people,
Old people who are selling,
The rickshaw pullers,
Very old and very seemingly sick rickshaw pullers.
Don't bargain with them.
You know,
These people,
You should never bargain.
You should give them a slightly more money than they ask for,
What they expect.
Give them something extra.
And that's the way you can actually,
That's the way you can display your inner richness.
So I leave this thought on your plate,
Digest it.
And let's see some difference in your attitude.
Or probably you can share this,
You can discuss with people and make a difference in the society this way.
Lots of love.
All the best Kh lane metres inennes sociology.
