When will we celebrate real children’s day?

Children are the special creation of God. They have an essence of Godliness. They are full of innocence, love and inquisition. Children are pure at heart and they are full of positivity and optimism. They’ll never give up a task till it is complete and learn with their own speed. In a way, the best examples of ideal human beings are children. God has given each one of us a sense of discretion and by using this virtue, they can learn on their own by practical skills. But what is the reason that when the children start getting older turn into selfish human beings? It is the system and the society that is causing this flaw in us. Had they not been touched by this defunct system, they wouldn’t have changed into snobbish beings. The best way to bring up children is to nurture as they are, let their virtues flourish and give them their own space and time to grow. But in today’s world, we don’t just need to grow in a crude manner but polish our skills, virtues and character with the tool called education. We need to experience the miraculous power we have got to feel the presence of God in each one of us. Today’ sadly, the meaning of education, human beings, spirituality has changed. Now, people believe in buying happiness with money and they miss out on the most beautiful and spectacular moments and joys in life. He who has a childlike innocence will be able to enjoy the morning dew or the nature’s view but others who have become scientific robots, far away from Godliness and spirituality are busy minting money with the tool called education, that now teaches how to earn.Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru dreamed of an India in which all children would get their own time, space and education and flourish spiritually. But this dream remains unrealized as many children aren’t able to study and grow and those who study, are not getting the proper environ to prosper.A real Children’s day will be celebrated when their Godliness grows with the help of education. On this Children’s day, and on the birthday of Pandit Nehru, let’s pray for all the children that they keep the childlike spirit and salute the man who helped instill a dream in our minds.

It is necessary that innocence of a child is not polluted by corruption which is prevailing in world today.Real children's day can only be celebrated when all children irrespective of whether they are rich or poor are provided with opportunities to study.
