situations? I do not know what to do when that happens. What should I do when he does not understand our love?
Dadashri : What can you do? You just have to keep calm. What else can you do to him? Would you hit him instead?
Questioner : But we have not reached the level where we can remain calm and composed.
Dadashri : Then what else will you do? Jump up and down if you want to! Why do you remain calm when a police officer confronts you?
Questioner : Police officers have authority.
Dadashri : Then you should behave in the same way with your children. Let them have the authority' over you. If you remain calm with a police officer, why can you not do the same with your children?
Children Are Hungry For Love At home you should create such an atmosphere of love that your children would hate to leave. When all they see is your love, and nothing but love, you will make an impression on them and they will listen to you. Then they will accept your values.
Why does a child start to cry when you hit him gently? He cries because he feels the pain from the insult and not the physical pain.

It is because of animosity that this world appears callous. Here in my presence, love incarnate, everyone is content and in bliss. How Can There Be Love Where One Demands
Appreciation? You will not see real love in this era of the current time cycle. A man said to me, "I love her so much and yet she insults me!" I told him, "That is not love, no one would insult love!"
Questioner : Is there any expectation in the love that you are talking about?
Dadashri : Expectation? There is no expectation in love. There is equal love towards the alcoholic as well as the one who is sober. There is no expectation in love. Love never expects anything. Love is beyond all relative dualities.
Questioner : Everyone has expectations and want people to have nice words for them. No one likes insults.
Dadashri : If one wishes to be appreciated, it is not love, but infatuation and attraction. It is all an illusion.
People who expect love are foolish. People will only address you with love if your merit karma is unfolding. Relative, worldly love is the result of merit karma. When your demerit karma unfolds, your own brother, will insult and hurt you, even if you have been there at his side during all his troubles. This is
