Children

You have written to me that your daughter constantly asks you for money, while your son constantly demands time from you. You need my advice. I wish to tell you that you should give money to your daughter when she needs it, and that you should give your son time when he demands it. Otherwise, you will suffer for the rest of your life from your daughter’s lack of love and from your son’s lack of knowledge.

Your wisdom-giving friend,

Chinmoy
