Swajan : What should the parents do to be a good influence on young children?
Pujya Shree Mota : We cannot imagine about the speed with which the children grasp our environment. The receptivity is so powerful that it creates the impressions on them from the subtle inner workings going inside us. The subconscious state in them is awake all the time. This state is awake in adults only during the sleep. This is very powerful and grasps the surroundings like a video recorder. So the child gets our mental problems, infatuations, jealousy, disagreements, fights, conflicts and our mental and emotional pain as an inheritance from us. If we want to save our children from that kind of inheritance, the parents will have to improve their lot. The impressions that the children receive in their young age are grasped subtly in their heart and at some point in their life expresses itself.
