- Reader of the sutras: Sw Anand Vimal.
- The sutra
- And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, speak to us of children.
- And he said:
- Your children are not your children.
- They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
- They come through you but not from you,
- And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
- You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
- For they have their own thoughts.
- You may house their bodies but not their souls,
- For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
- You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
- For life goes not backwards nor tarries with yesterday.
- You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
- The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and he bends you with his might that his arrows may go swift and far.
- Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
- For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so he loves also the bow that is stable.
