your treasures
Everyone says the Eternal One
is great. Because it is great it is
beyond our comprehension.
If we could hold it in our minds,
it would be limited. If it is limited,
it is not the Way.
There are three treasures which
are invaluable to you as a parent:
The first is kindness. The second is
simplicity. The third is humility.
If you are kind, you can act with
courage to support and protect your
children.
If you keep your life simple, you have
lots of time to give them.
If you know yourself as a human being
— no more, no less — you teach your
children without imposing on them.
A parent who is protective without
being kind, whose life is busy and
complicated, who demands respect
and expects perfection, loses her
children in the end.
Loving kindness, simplicity, and
humility are the treasures your
children will inherit.
