Oh! I'm going to do good things for my child. Balony! That's all ego. Just work on yourself. And: Everytime you work on yourself, you get calmer, you hear more, you sense more, you are more, you're more present. What are you offering a child? Not a set of social roles passing in the night. . . . You're offering a child here and now — ness. The treasure of consciousness. The treasure of awareness.

— Ram Dass
