Understand
This!
WillamWordsword said that “Child is the father of Man” but Kahlil Gibran puts like
this, Where is the
father or the child,every one is a passer by in the cosmos of life playing his
own role as an actor on a stage.
'Children'
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 backward 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.
-Kahlil Gibran
