You And Yours (On Parenting)-14.The question of how to live the values of life is not a new one faced only in modern times. It is as old as our scriptures. This is a weakness that every person faces in his life - the contradiction between his knowledge and his living.

**READ CAREFULLY THIS EDITION, ASSIMILATE THE TATTVAM.**

14.1

Every day the slate is clean. A painter’s canvas does not protest, but a student’s mind does. It goes on protesting, it goes on forgetting. So how does one teach? The best way of teaching is living the values. When we live that and when they observe it then only is teaching possible.

*That is why in the Gita , it is said, “Yadyadacharati Shreshtah tattaddevetero janah” – Whatever a great one does or demonstrates, all other people only follow that.*

14.2
**It is never said, “Whatever a great man says, people follow.” If that was the case, the world would have been different. **

We never follow what somebody says – only what is lived by him. There is a story that you might have read or heard. A mother took her child to a Mahatma. The child was addicted to eating chocolates, toffees, etc., so much that he was spoiling his teeth. She told the Mahatma, “Please tell him. My telling him has had no effect.”

14.3
The Mahatma said, “Come after one month.” She went away and after one month brought the child again. The Mahatma took the child near him, spoke to him and told him, “Don’t eat chocolates like this, you will spoil your teeth.”

14.4
The child promised, “I will not eat now.”

14.4
The mother said, “If you had to tell him only this much, why did you ask me to come after one month?”

14.5
The Mahatma replied,

***“The simple reason is, I was also eating chocolates till then ! So, if I had told him at that time, it would have lacked conviction.” ***

It is true that if I don’t do a thing and tell others to do it, it does not have any conviction, no force. What is the difference between the ordinary person and extraordinary person?

****The great man is able to live what he understands and what he says, while the other person knows a lot, but he is not able to live it – that’s all.****
