That is the explanation for the
struggles of so many people. They work so hard, make deals, and if they are in
a vantage point, they use it or even resort to outright stealing so that they
can provide for their children and even grandchildren yet to be born!
Let us free ourselves from this
burden. It is unnecessary. We must consider that childbearing does not mean
that you must deny the child the benefit of finding his own feet early in life.
Through earthly birth, parents simply provide a physical body for the spirit of
the child, the body being a tool for the child as he journeys on earth on the
path to spiritual maturity which involves knowing the Will of God and making it
a deed!
Once the parents have taken care
of the child to the point where the child can take care of his own physical
body, then anything done beyond that is a gift because the child is really an
independent individual who is just a guest of the parents who have implicitly
agreed by their voluntary act of love to accept this loved one.
If the parents live only for
their children then they have missed the very purpose of their lives: the
redemption of past errors, spiritual maturity and salvation. Just as parents
have a lot of work to do on themselves, children too must realise that they are
on earth to fulfill their own purpose and must seek to be independent of their
parents as soon as possible and not revel in a sense of entitlement that is
non-existent!
