Are Differently Abled Children a Source of Joy?

There are parents who have physically or mentally
challenged or differently abled children. Are they also a source of joy?
Sometimes such parents think that they must have committed many sins in earlier
lives to get a child like this.
Some people wonder what sins the jeeva has done
to have acquired a different body or mind like this.
Here also it is only a question of
cultivating the right attitude. Do not waste your time in enquiring about the
reasons behind it. The fact is that a jeeva is born here like this.
Once again,
the attitude should be: “I am an #instrument of the #Lord. God has given
me the opportunity to look after this child. I may not be able to serve the
whole world; but I can #serve this child that has been given to me
as a gift by God. This is my seva and #worship. It is the
good karma of this jeeva that it has come here to me.” Avoid wallowing in
self-pity. Please remember that the child does not need pity, but love and
understanding.
Cultivate the thought, “The Lord has given me this
responsibility and I will do it to the best of my ability.”
