The first seven years of the child - OSHO Talks Vol. 2

This is the fourth part of the talk Educating Children, where Osho develops a fundamental thesis: any way of helping a child is wrong. The very idea of helping is wrong. The child needs love, not your help. The child needs nourishment, support, but not your help. The natural potential of the child, says Osho, is unknown, so there is no way to help it properly to reach its natural potential. In fact, in the name of so-called help, everyone is interfering in the affairs of others. According to Osho, those first seven years are the years when you are conditioned, filled with all kinds of ideas that will haunt you all your life, that will keep distracting you from your potentiality, that will corrupt you, that will never allow you to see clearly. They will always come like clouds to your eyes, they will make everything confusing. Things are clear, very clear
