Generation Gap

Dadashri : Even if you had three sons, they may have
done the same thing. And if not, you yourself would have to leave
them one day. Even if you all lived together, you would still have
to leave them one day. So why bother about it? What about the
children you left behind in your past life? Do you know where
they are?
Questioner : God only knows.
Dadashri : You have no idea about what is happening with
the children of your past life. And this is what happens to you with
your children of this life. When will you wake up? Instead start
thinking about your liberation or else you will end up being born
into a lower life form. If in this human life you allow yourself to
suffer because of external circumstances or if you take your life,
you will reincarnate into the animal kingdom, or even hell. Does
the prospect of a lower life form appeal to you?
(P. 363)
In all your previous lives you have suffered terribly. You
forget the suffering from your previous lives and begin to suffer
again in this one. You abandoned your children in your previous
life and in this life you bring forth new ones.
(P.364)
RELATIONSHIPS: ARE THEY RELATIVE OR REAL?
All these relationships are temporary. You must conduct
your interactions carefully. These are all relative relationships and
they will remain as relative as you keep them. The definition of a
worldly life is that it will give back exactly whatever you put into it.
You may believe that because he is your son, he will be
loyal to you, but just because he is your son does not mean that
he will not go against you. The Soul never becomes a father or a
son. These relationships are merely accounts of give and take.
But do not go home and tell your father that he is not your father.
In the worldly sense he is still your father.
