Swami Mukundananda
My child wants to watch TV when there is a test tomorrow. How do I help them say no?
Let the intellect rule the wish to watch
Even little children can let the intellect control the mind. The child wishes to watch TV, but the intellect says the test is tomorrow, and the child keeps studying.
The parents are watching television in the other room. The child says, I also want to watch. The intellect says, your test is tomorrow; if you watch television you will fail the test.
