THE ART OF CHILD-CARE #2
by Bipin Balachandran
“Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.”
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.”
Thus spake kahlil Gibran, one of greatest visionary and mystic poet world has ever seen. What one
should understand from these lines? ‘Your children do not
belong to you’- what
does it mean? Of course, this is not about the literal meaning of the words but
far beyond that, an attempt to touch one of the mysteries of life. He wants to
say that ‘oh, dear mother, you are blessed, for you have been chosen to fulfill
‘life’s longing for itself’. We don’t know what life is. All we perceive is its
endless potential to create. You have been chosen to participate in that grand
process of life. So, you will give birth not to your son or daughter but to a
new form of life. It belongs to life itself. Think of it. What a great honor it
is! What a great responsibility it is! The future of humanity, no, life itself
is in your hands…it is moment to be celebrated… oh sweet mother, you are
blessed…Related Topic:
