The book was prepared for the Seventh Readings on Humane Pedagogy - “In the Child’s Cup the germ of the grain of culture shines” (2008) Why are children born? So that we raise them and make them the same as ourselves? This birth of generations makes no sense. They are born not so that we can educate them and make them like ourselves, but in order to correct our mistakes and return humanity to the Path of Truth. We have lost the Path, we need a guide. Each Child is a reborn new being, and children are a people operating in Truth. We, of course, will educate and educate them. But what is upbringing and education for us?

“Lord! Since You created us in Your Image and Likeness, It means that the germ of the grain of Culture is Your Will in us. And since he directed us on the path of teaching, it means that it is Your Will that we awaken Your Gift in the Child. But give us the strength to reveal it in ourselves, and give us wisdom to awaken the Wonderful Embryo in our children. May Your Land in Heaven be a Shining Star of Culture! Amen.”
