If one listens to Pralada Maharaja’s teachings to his class mates , one should understand that Pralada is giving an overall picture of material engagements within the material world that begins at childhood but is also a continuance from a previous life , the teachings are meant for everyone. Applications to such teachings are within the Bhagavad Gita and the Puranas and the Srimad Bhagavatam. Gradually or quickly according to previous lives and sukriti one extracts oneself from the illusory energies, there is not just one path , yoga consists of Karma yoga, niskama karma yoga, jnana yoga ,featuring jnana sunya bhakti ,and astanga yoga. Bhakti added in any degree moves one along these paths .In some cases, immediately one can take up high levels of Bhakti , but not every one is suitable.
Thus , common sense and devotional understanding minus fanaticism is required when hearing Pralada Maharaja’s teachings. The fanatical might force a child to be in some kind of renounced state ….that’s not the purpose of this chapter .

Getting the balance and applications of spiritual and material life is important in everyone’s life and especially in children’s lives , sensitivity , intelligence and common sense is needed along with the help of the genuine intelligentsia whose characteristics are sublime.
