Prabhakar reflections

अपमानात्तपोवृद्धि: सम्मानच्च तप:क्षय: **************************************** अपमान से तप की वृद्धि होती है और सम्मान तप:क्षय का कारण बनता है. ****************************************       So next time when you stand humiliated; feeling sad instead,feel graced that God wants to see you succeed by your own way you follow getting success in your life.                             R.R.Prabhakar.

It's not that you make your children learn from you; the reverse is also a possibility for quite a few times. This possibility of reverse learning keeps on increasing when your son or daughter,in the course of their studies or job, happens to live away from you.  What is needed is to befriend them in such a way that your children don't feel uncomfortable to share their experiences with you. I suppose your children, by virtue of their remaining away from you for the above mentioned reason, have a greater opportunity to meet people of different age groups, of different backgrounds,of different parts of the state/country/world which you might not have had when in that age or even the present phase of your life. The youth of today are not only exposed to more territories of field or knowledge, more regions, more communication, more facilities, more opportunities but also of course more problems than those youths of our times.  In order to get benefited through this process of reve...
