Importance Of Spiritual Path For Kids
When should one begin their spiritual journey? Right from childhood says Prahlada.
Young Prahlada says in Srimad Bhagavatam (7:6:1),
kaumAra AcharEt prAjnO
dharmAn bhAgavatAn iha
durlabham mAnusham janma
tad api adhruvam arthadam
A wise man would practice devotion and follow the spiritual path towards God right from the tender age of childhood; for only in the extremely rare and transient human birth can we attain the goal of eternal happiness.
Prahlada, who was a born devotee of the Lord, realized early that the Lord is actually interested only in our devotion. In the above sloka, he emphasizes the importance of taking to a spiritual path at a young age, in order to make full, proper use of our human birth, which is very rare to obtain.
