Comment: Surely you always have a certain position that you have to soften and adapt to the public.

My Response: Just like with children to whom you only say what they can understand and explain with language, gestures, facial expressions: “This is how this works, and this is how that is. Let us see together. See how it is connected. If I click here, what is happening there?” And so on.

That is, you must come closer to them. Of course, you have a huge supply of what to tell them for the next, say, five years, but you work gradually. At the same time, love for them and recognition of one single space and mass when you connect with them controls you and does not allow you to make a mistake.

Comment: But sometimes, when raising a child, they say: “Let him fall, prick himself, burn himself, do not tamper with him.”

My Response: Yes, it happens. But still, you do it with the knowledge that it will teach him even if he is harmed to some small degree. But he will remember this lesson and will gain in the future so that later he does not get into a situation where instead of a small burn there is a huge explosion.

You consciously allow negative feelings from certain circumstances imprinted in your child’s mind if there is no other possibility. Naturally, this is how we learn. The same is true in our spiritual accumulation of all kinds of events, qualities, and dependencies.

Comment: But many also have this position: “We will talk to them when they are hit on the head. Then they will understand us more.”

My Response: No! This attitude is not out of love. When I love my child, I want to protect him in advance, and if I give him the opportunity to feel something, then this is controlled by me, it is within the framework of his upbringing. I do not leave him as if I had left him somewhere in the forest and let him educate himself: if he crawls home, good and if not, then not. This is an unreasonable approach.
