00:00 Now, now what's happening with the so-called teenagers, you got used to your child as a helpless creature.
00:08 Now he is finding his own feet, tch, you don't like it.
00:13 You want to condense him into boo boo boo, my boo boo.
00:20 So children when they come, when they are helpless and for everything they look up to you,
00:26 you think your children are magical because they are helpless.
00:32 Suppose the baby popped out of you and stood up and said, "Hey, who the hell are you?"
00:41 You won't like this baby.
00:46 But he takes fourteen, fifteen years to ask that question.
01:01 In fact, that is all a teenager is asking, "Okay, who the hell are you?"
01:09 So, if you want to be somebody to that fresh life which has come, you must not have defined boundaries of who you are.
01:21 Like when the child was infant, when it crawled, you crawled with him.
01:27 Now your teenager wants to swing, you must be able to swing with him.
01:32 No, you still wants to crawl with him.
01:36 He is not interested. He is beginning to ask.
01:39 Parents are looking ridiculous in the eyes of adolescents.
01:45 You children are growing up, it should be a joyful moment.
01:49 Yes? They become teenagers means they are growing rapidly. Yes?
01:56 Or in other words, unfortunately they are beginning to become like you.
02:00 No, Sadhguru, that is not the problem. They are beginning to become something different.
02:06 They don't even look like my children anymore.
02:10 Drop this damn thing that your child belongs to you.
02:15 If you think this child belongs to you, when he is just becoming… coming into teens,
02:21 he is telling you, "Goddamn it, I don't belong to you."
02:26 That's all he is trying to tell you which you are not able to digest.
02:29 Another life does not belong to you.
02:33 If another life has chosen to be with you, please cherish that.
02:37 It's a tremendous thing.
