Saw an old man
carrying his small grandchild in his arms while they returned from a temple.
Perhaps from a Shiva temple as the child had mark of white bhabhut on its
forehead. Ever wondered what a kid would learn by visiting temples? A child
does not know about gods, bhakti, karma, religion, or anything! I think the
idea is to do indirect teaching. We don't learn most of the things we are
taught (otherwise all of us would be Einsteins) and we learn most of the things
not taught to us (like all the bad things mothers complain about). So let the
child learn indirectly by observing what we are doing.
Now this is scary
from the point of view of those parents who think the kid is too small to learn
anything and hence they could do anything in its presence! Like arguing,
watching excessive TV, smoking, or being lazy!
If the kid is
watching you - you have to be worthy of being watched by an innocent cute kid!
