Are you already not doing that....is everybody not already busy in doing so.........
But that is not enough , isn't it and that is why you are here asking me this question.
On the periphery all these words that you  wrote sound good and perfect,
But if you look a bit deeper as to what u r saying....you will laugh at how these words are fooling you again and again

You are saying "i want to take care of my children,i want to educate them..."............
Your question should be "what else should i do other than this that i get some depth,some peace some meaning in life ?"

All this rigmarole that you are  already neck deep in
, in  the name of achievements and growth... is not making you reach anywhere except creating anxieties and multiplying them.

You are already well educated ....why don't you ask yourself as to what  have you  gained by this education...is it enough?..is it satisfying?....what after it.....
May be you are able to earn a little more and a little easily....
May be you are socially very well accepted,having status and all.......
But is it enough?......the life is slipping and you are not finding any sense in the repetition of the same process day in and day out....
What are you trying to offer your children by giving them the same...just ask yourself this question.........
 

And i am not saying don't do all this........
All i am saying is " have u reached anywhere by doing all this..."
Has anybody reached anywhere just by doing all this...

There is something more to life....and you are  already looking for it in a way....and that is why u r here at this moment..................

Then u r saying  "i want them to settle down .........".........
Now this is hilarious....are you settled yourself....

And what do u mean by settle down....having a house , money, job.......
But you already have all this.....and you are not feeling settled urself  and you are running for more of it in the guise of taking care of your children
What kind of settling down do you desire for your children.... you yourself are not clear about it.

And then you are  saying "i want to give happiness to them.."..........
And this sounds funny....."are you happy yourself...?"...
Count the moments of happiness that u get in a day and how fast they turn otherwise........
How can you give something that you don't have ...
How can you give happiness to your children when you  yourself don't have any clue about it......
 

Here everybody wants to give happiness to their children without even realizing that they themselves don't have it...........
And children also laugh listening to their parents and what they are proposing because they see that the very same is missing in their own lives........
And people go on running all their lives just in the name of giving happiness and all the other nonsense to their children.....
And then they die........but Happiness never comes.......death does.......

And u have asked "am i going wrong ...?'.".....
It's not about going wrong......it's about  not learning, it's about  chasing the same ideas ..again and again and again..it's about being incomplete.
You are not able to see that if one house is not giving you peace how will 5 give..........

If one car is not giving you the satisfaction how will more give that.........not possible....
On the contrary all your energy and time will disappear in maintaining all these that you go on accumulating ...

Money, Education, Children and other things have their importance and place  in this world but it is not enough..........just see that........

So try to find something else other than all this as well .............


And remember another fundamental rule of existence ......all the things which are of this world...which are of outer...which are other than you..are not meant to satiate you.


They can provide comfort....which we call "Suvidha" in Hindi...

But they cannot provide "Satiation...The fulfillment"......which we call "Tripti" ........
