We have to learn a lot from children:

"...They are not only spontaneous, but they are very confident. And the way they were anxious that we should all be one with them. They tried to act so well as surprising and do their level best to make it a success. I don't know how to really express My thanks to them in their childlike language. This is the era where children are going to be born of a very high quality. And we all have to understand that we have to have full understanding and awareness of these great people being born on this Earth and also that we are the people who are trustees of these children.

We have to look after them as trustees and to guide them properly. Our own lives should be such that the children should understand that: This is a different type of family we are born into. Our parents are different and we are in a very dharmic area..."

Because it has that sweetness of a child. It really, I should say, tickles joy within you when you see a child. Immediately, the face becomes different..."

Shri Ganesha shines through them very clearly:

"... We should have to learn so much from the children, how innocent they are, how simple they are. they are very generous, and children will give away everything that they have, everything. They don't understand possession of things, just imagine! If somebody likes something, "All right, have it!". And they'll keep something for a person who likes something, you know. They are wonderful people, and we have to learn a lot from children. And their smiling faces and their joy should teach us how to behave, because Ganesha chines through them very clearly..."
