A mother, distressed by her adolescent child's defiance and rebellious behavior, turned to the universe for guidance.
Mother: Why doesn't my child listen to me and make me angry?
Universe: It's because you haven't realized that your child is a part of your own consciousness, and that part of consciousness desires various experiences, like playing games or avoiding studying. However, your ingrained beliefs perceive such experiences as hindrances to a fulfilling life, thus generating fear. Subsequently, you project your fears onto your child, claiming it's out of love. When the ego (beliefs in your mind) clashes with consciousness (desire to experience life), you become angry, leading to arguments and pain. Therefore, all suffering stems from the delusional attachments in your mind.
Mother: But I love my child and want what's best for him!
Universe: That's not love. You haven't seen yourself as him, nor felt his feelings. Instead, you've created a division between yourself and your child, failing to recognize the unity of self with others. When you are him, everything you do is the best experience in the moment, and it's what you desire the most.
Mother: What should I do then?
Universe: When facing your child, fully accept and let go. Life passes in the blink of an eye, taking nothing with it except the present joyful feeling. Anything you agonize over, you can't take with you. Instead, you become trapped in daily suffering due to these delusions, manifesting more negative situations into your life. Ask yourself, even if things go wrong, what difference does it make? Children come into this world through parents to enrich their own life experiences, not to replicate or relive the parents' lives.
Mother: I understand now, thank you!
