How to stimulate the appreciation in children
So then also for the appreciation of others. If they start criticizing
others, do not listen to them. When they appreciate others, listen to
them. This is till the age of six years again I'm saying. Very
important. They'll criticize others. And never, never try to sort of
side with anyone. If they are quarrelling, let them quarrel. Let them
quarrel a little bit, doesn't matter. Solve their problems. But if
they are quarrelling too much then bring two sticks. "All right. You
want two sticks, hit each other." Then they will realize. It's horrid.
Give them two sticks. You want, all right, have it. Hit each other
nicely. When you are both nicely wounded, we'll take you to the
hospital. Now, come along, have it."

On Childcare - The Beauty of sharing
On Childcare - The Beauty of sharing
And when they give something to others, you must always praise. Teach them to give. That's one thing in Indian character, you see. Supposing our children give away anything to anyone, anything, you praise that child. Even say a diamond is given to another person, to any other child, you praise the child. But the mother will return the diamond, is different. But we'll praise the child: "All right, very good thing you have done, given." Giving is a very big quality. That's not in the West. I mean you are rich people, but this style of live is very different to ours. We are poor people, but we are better than you in this way. I mean, we are: rich in heart I think, isn't it? That's the thing is. Sharing, giving. See toys, now for example. The children who just give away all the toys are better children in India, and those who don't give away their toys, keep to their own toys, are not good children.

"Stand on your axis"
"Stand on your axis", your central channel. Destruction (illness, etc.) comes from too much left or right. It is important to keep the head held properly, not down or thrown back. Domination/submission needs to be eliminated among all the world’s people. (Left == Moon/Desire, Right == Sun/Action)
The axis senses what is to be done. Thinking too much is desire without action. Desire without action can be destructive. "A balance needs to be struck." We must desire and act.
Shri Mataji knows how deep you are by your axis. You cannot fool Her by talking big about Sahaja Yoga without the depth."
