Generation Gap
Dadashri : A girl is wrong to think that her parents do not
love her. All parents love their children. This misunderstanding on
her part will hurt her parents, who believe they have undergone
great hardship to raise their children.
Questioner : So why do I feel that my parents do not love
me?
Dadashri : So many girls ask this question. Such thoughts
are easily suppressed when they are young, but as they grow up,
how do they deal with such feelings of unworthiness?
They acquire an intellect that is molded and influenced by
external factors. This wrong intellect creates a wrong understanding.
And it is this wrong understanding that makes her, as well as those
around her, suffer.

Questioner : Nowadays girls are not ready to marry at an
early age.
Dadashri : Yes, they are not ready, but even then it is
better for them to get married at an early age. As soon as they
finish their studies they should get married. Even if they get married
first and later, perhaps in another year or so, complete their
education, there would be no problem. Once she becomes bound
by marriage, her life will run smoothly. Otherwise, in her later life
she will suffer hardship.

Dadashri : When you talk about being attracted to friends,
are you referring to male friends or female friends?
Questioner : Both.
Dadashri : Boyfriends too?
Questioner : Yes, both.
