(Mother shows two messages she has sent to Delhi.)

"Money is not meant to make money, money is meant to prepare the earth for the new creation."

"The men of finance and the businessmen have been offered the possibility to collaborate with the future, but most of them refuse, convinced that money is stronger than the future.

"Thus, the future will crush them with its irresistible power."

(Then a note about unmanageable children.)

Some children are wicked, with a wickedness ... really unbelievable inventions and the teachers don't know what to do. So I wrote a lot of things, but among them, one, I think is important:

"A child must cease to be wicked because he learns to be ashamed of being wicked, not because he fears a punishment....

That's the first step. Once he reaches it, then he can progress one more step and learn the happiness of being good, the joy of being good. But that I didn't write.

"In the first case, he progresses; in the second he goes down one rung in human consciousness.

"Fear is a degradation of human consciousness.""

I think that's very important. Because EVERYWHERE, people are convinced that punishment is what ... Horrible!
