Mothers' who curse will be cursed themselves.....mothers who curse have no compassion......mothers' who curse were once cursed by their own mothers' or mother-in-laws......
There is no such thing as tough love. Love is like a warmly baked roti that is smeared with warm butter. It is never like a stale phulka that is stiff and bland.
Panjabi parenting skills have much to be desired for......this is why the panth is suffereing from a victim mindset and has no ekta or unconditional love.
Mother's need to parent from the heart, not form the head.
Children who are respected with thought, mind and action from compassionate parents will grow as true Khalsa.
Some say ' well a few slaps or a few curses didn't do me any harm..it saved me from going down the wrong pathway'. This is nonsense and is only a false justification of a parents actions because of the fear of not wanting to find fault in parents conduct.
Slaps and curses harm....love and compassion and warmth guide and give direction.
Read the poem by Yogi Bhajan in Furman-e-Khalsa on the gift of children.
Read this poem by Khalil Gibran..it is beautiful and brought tears to the eyes:
On Children
Kahlil Gibran
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
