Virtues: Integrity

Recap from our October 3 satsang: Only special parents can care for special children, because they are aligned with the needs of those children. We need to reframe our experiences so that we are Seekers first, then parents. To grow out of pursuing success and into pursuing Joy (Shreya), we need to take the path of most resistance. Convert these 20 values into virtues. Only if we practice being Joyous, we can share this Joy with all those that we care for. When we accept our own unique personalities and those of others, then we will not waver from this pursuit/practice of Joy (even if we are attacked). How to practice Adambhitva (Integrity)? Identify the ideal we want to be governed by: Idealize who we can be, one ideal at a time. Harmonize our thoughts, words, actions: Not harmonizing makes us hypocrites, so reflect on how we can harmonize towards this ideal. About Parenting Culture: Season 2023-24 Buckle up, fellow parents!
