Why we don't want our children to become so called sage/saint/rishi/guru/mahatma ?

Does anybody engage himself in the act of intercourse having the desire that the baby is going to be conceived ? He was engaged in enjoying sex and the child got conceived without the partners knowledge. It was a happening. The conceivability was not in anybody's control.

The child comes out of the womb on its own i.e. it happens.

The growing up phenomenon is also a happening.

Does anybody want his/her child to become so called sage/saint/guru/spiritual master etc. after the child comes to young age ? Answer is simply no.

It means nobody has desire to see his sibling as sage/saint/guru albeit we are showing so much respect for this class. Why not we want that our siblings should be like them.

On the one hand we are vying to become like them and on the other hand we never want/try to push/encourage our children in that direction.

There appears to be some conflicts inside us.

This requires some deep thinking.
