OSHO: The Idea that Children Are Your Children Is Wrong

Progress
The idea that the children of your children is wrong
The whole idea
That children
is your
It is wrong.
They are born through you
But they do not belong to you
You have the past;
They have only the future
They will not live according to what you want.
To live according to you
It will be almost
Equal
Not to live at all.
They have to live
According to what they want
Freedom
Responsibility,
in danger,
In the challenge.
So how
Person becomes
steely,
Parents have carried the idea through the ages
That the children belong to them
And they must be
Just carbon copies them.
The carbon version is not a beautiful thing,
The presence does not believe in
In carbon editions;
He rejoices in the original.
What time to understand that your children
Do not belong to you
They belong to the existence,
I was just a conduit
You must be grateful to the presence where you may chose
To be a corridor
For a few sweet kids
But you do not interfere
In their development,
In their ability.
You are not imposing yourself on them.
They will not live in the times themselves,
They will not face the same problems;
They will be part of another world.
Not preparing them for this world,
This community,
this time,
Because you will then create problems for them.
They will find themselves not suitable,
unqualified.
You have to help them
In order to grow and Etjaozhuk;
You have to help them
Not to Iqldok.
That fact is the duty of parents
To help children
Not to fall into the tradition.
