Conscious parenting

The age does not define the level of maturity an individual has. People of all age groups can be parents, of course not the one freshly born. They are too young so cannot be, not possible.
When you search google two responses come out when you are looking for the definition of parent, one is "a person's father or mother" and the other is "be or act as a mother or father to (someone)". 
So, today we are discussing the first definition, the one where the person acts like a parent irrespective of the age. 
Parenting someone is a conscious activity.  An activity, which requires focus, composed behavior and understanding of other individuals needs. The job does not end with the delivery of childbirth. Generally, we see parents give birth to children, lead children and believe that they are just their extended bodies. So, every instruction they were given, must be respected by the children. The issue remains the same from the birth of a child until the death of the parent. 
Earlier people did not understand much about the development of consciousness. The sooner they could understand the development of consciousness the better it would have been for all the society. 
Reproducing someone cannot make one a parent, taking care of their emotions is equally important. These days we see unsettled people becoming parents, they are not able to take care of their emotions, so how can they take care of another person. 
Placing blame is often the best way to delay the solution, so we see parents blaming each other or the child as the reason for unrest in life.  The unrest is because of lack of awareness. It has nothing to do with the behavior of the child. 
So, before becoming a parent, become conscious. The most important thing in life. 


Understanding limitations

There have been plenty of moments in life, where you do not understand "what is limiting me? "
In an approval based society, parents limit children, children limit parents, husband limit wife, wife limits husband, family limits individual, individual limits family, etc. The cycle goes on endlessly.
Never have I been able to find what limits me?
In a battle between the brain and the heart one finds either heart winning or brain, what you choose is randomized not well supported in a very common way.
In India, which is a very spiritual country you hardly find people who have realized and met the divinity within. Our creations are often limited by the viewpoints of other or simply sometimes money. In one of the recent lectures by Satguru, it was discussed how we make a human into an earning device.
The machine-like quality which is sewn into every being born in this world. The context of emotional independence and thought freedom is often limited by ways of social functions.
The practice of living alone in young days in old India had its root in the emotional freedom and in cultivating the freedom of thought.
The most powerful tool which keeps you free and bounded is not explored or master. The concept of aging is very limited and cultivates to make you believe in helplessness and weakness. The concepts are superficial, they were before as they are now.
Now again, what is a limit, its condition of mind or a reality? Born, educated, job, reproducing and death are all the physical realities which are taught to us. Thinking out of the box is never taught to us.
Every generation has limitless minds, the place of intellect is used to understand what is wrong and what is right.
The thoughts of limit are incomplete. They are just thoughts, no significance. Although, the limitations on partners is respected as leading your body to someone may spoil your energies. Apart from that,
the limitations on a successful career cannot be accepted. It has been false and must not be entertained.

ZERO

Empty spaces! 

Have you ever seen, heard or felt "ZERO"?

you may be thinking what a futile question I have written. But it is true! When you feel so many things like love, rage anger, greed, hatred, misunderstood, etc. you can also feel ZERO.

ZERO is not a word or just a numeric figure. It has a lot of meaning to it. It has become a common term. A term with no real existence.
What is depression?
A scientific or layman definition makes us feel that there is void in us, it has to be filled. But how to fill it? How?
People often look for people to fill the void. But if you understand deeply, you find that Zero and Void are the same things. The void is empty. Zero is also empty.  So what are you trying to fill?
People say depression is a very bad thing? When it is not a thing how can it be filled?
You cannot fill a zero, nor you can fill the depression. An empty space that cannot be filled must be managed.
A stage of management that involves managing emotions, self and body are
known as depression.
