_Question:_ What do you see as the main reasons why people desire children?

Sri Chinmoy: Most people desire children because they feel the necessity of expansion. On the human level they want to show that they have a family and a comfortable life. The smile of their children gives them tremendous joy. On the inner plane it is the same song: expansion. One wants to become many.
