Christianity is a bondage, so is Hinduism, so is Islam, and all so-called religions. When a child is forced to become a Hindu, or a Christian or a Mohammedan, the innermost being rebels. He resists. And when something is forced on you, howsoever beautiful it is.it becomes ugly.
God has to be search in freedom---not through any conditioning. The world is so unreligious because of these religious people. They go on conditioning people, they destroy the very urge.
Just think of it :You go into the garden, you watch the trees, you look at the flowers and you are very happy. But if it is forced on you, and a policeman follows you with a bayonet and says," Look at the rose and enjoy" what will happened? The rose will be the same, but how can you enjoy when a man is standing behind you and ordering you,to enjoy?
Love your children,but never give your ideologies. Let them feel that God has done something for you--let them feel but don't force. Let them grow in freedom.Let them see when you pray,let them see your tears rolling down on the cheeks and the watch.....and children are very very watchful,very sensitive---if things are not forced on them, they will move on their own.
When they see you crying beautiful tears,when they see you bowing down before God and they feel the vibe........suddenly everything has become quit,suddenly the father is no more the father and the mother is no more the mother, suddenly they have become luminos being....he bowing down. May be in secret, when you are not watching. he would like to know what happens when one bows down to God, Jesus or Buddha,or Krishna,or other,when one prays. Let them catch it----don't force it. Everything become ugly when forced.
(From-Osho on Kabir)
