Here is food for thought: clear, short and meaningful if taken to heart.

“Recently much attention has focused on abuse, particularly child abuse. Here it is necessary to understand the power of thought. In many cases, a single, powerful thought takes hold of the mind, to the exclusion of all else, and becomes destructive.
In order to help the person to detach himself from that thought, it is necessary to lead him to an awareness of the Self, the ‘Observer’, the ‘Watcher’. . . the true Self within that is beyond the mind. This will create a space inside the person and an awareness that will enable him to free himself from obsessive thought. There are no short cuts to this process, but it is itself part of a method which also includes beneficial breathing techniques. Appropriate training is necessary to yield the right results.
The time is fast coming when young people will be very difficult to understand due to wrong training, excessive emphasis on material values and competition that lead to confusion and hopelessness. Education at present does not create Self- awareness. And yet, it is Self-awareness alone which leads to Self-realization, the destiny of us all.”
