The Worshipful Quality

“Teachers can be a living example to their students. Not that teachers should look for students to idealize them. One who is worth idealizing does not care whether others idealize them or not. Everyone needs to see that you not only teach human values but you live them. It is unavoidable sometimes you will be idealized -- it is better for children to have a role model, or goal, because then the worshipful quality in them can dawn.”

― Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

This sounds like when my son is trying to lift something 'heavy' (he's 2 1/2 years old) and then dada comes and throws it like it's nothing. Dada looks like superman!

Turns out this is a positive exercise, because later on in life this practice of hero worship will make it easier for self-love and careful attention to behaviors.
