how do we say explain the triangularity of desires to children this is a concept that is learned that is more caught than taught there are other devoted children who are having a lot of things and enjoying those things our children also get their desire but the other children are not who are really satisfied with those things they can see that you don’t have all these things that’s why it’s good for if they have a well developed community for devoted children to have some forum where they come together maybe it could be Sunday school if the community is well developed we can have a devoted school itself that may take a long time but at least some forum where devoted children come together and through that they can actually all be spiritually nourished through the association of like-minded and dialogue and in general children are much more mind than intelligence in fact at a very small age the babies are simply mind they don’t have intelligence they just act whatever they feel they feel like crying, start crying so as they grow their intelligence starts developing but we can also the children will always be more mind than intelligence but they do have intelligence and if we actually instead of talking down to them we talk to them we also speak to their intelligence and their intelligence also grows further they may not immediately appreciate that or act on that but there is a side where they are driven by feelings but they also have some intelligence so if we take the time to explain things to them we have to stretch our brain to find out ways to explain in a way that is understandable for them that may be they call it a particular child a particular thing to be explained but if we do that if we if we nourish their intelligence then it gives you also if we treat them simply as creatures of feelings then that’s how they will see those feelings will become more and more demanding and less and less manageable but if you understand they also have mind it gives them much eager right now so for dealing with the feelings of the mind we have to provide them some association of similar children who are very satisfied with simple things and for also nourishing their intelligence we explain things they may not accept it immediately see when we are explaining things quite often we make the explanation a function of transformation or we make the explanation simply as a tool to transformation now I have explained this now we have to change things don’t happen so easily sometimes even when we are grown up sometimes some things are they make sense intellectually but we are not able to act on it just as that happens to us it can happen to them also so let’s say we take the time to explain things to them and at least I mean there is someone in the back of their consciousness and gradually it will come forward so we can address them at the level of the mind and the level of the intelligence by appropriate association and appropriate explanation and gradually they will also gravitate towards not craving for more and more does that answer your question? any other questions?
