- The Great Saint during His Penance when experienced weakness thru' starvation stopped His Meditation for a while and accepted milk/some food to restore His energies instantly.. Subsequently alone He continued His Meditation and attained Enlightenment through which ultimately the entire World had got immensely benefited!
- The Great Man when cornered by a mob initially took shelter in a Police Station and subsequently with the help of Police escaped from there in front of the mob in the guise of a policeman. The same Great Personality after a few years said in all affirmation that should a similar situation come up in His life again, He would face all that threat and in the process may end Himself if needed rather than escape there in disguise!
- When the greedy man at the fag end of his life expressed the idea of carrying his own accumulated gold, silver and cash along with him the Wise Man next to him smiled and remarked, "No use, Dear! The metals melt and the papers burn!”
These are the real instances in the lives of the Great Men of the Earth and their related actions in the 3 instances stated above clearly indicating that we have a body with us that has to be properly taken care and we have a mind which has to be satisfied and reasonably relaxed in our lives with the immediate peace restored..
And this immediate peace is required in our life to do anything concrete on the earth as otherwise the whole purpose of our living itself becomes meaningless at our own level..
The same applies to our children too in respect their peace and happiness in their coming up life and for that the 3 most important Values of life that support a sound and lighter mind and a safe and healthy body have to be taught to them from their childhood Viz.,

- The discipline of following healthy habits and learning and acquiring a specific skill and subsequently getting into work making use of that skill to secure certain basic well being in their life..
- The discipline of respecting the cultural values of the society around ever abiding to the good part of it to secure certain basic physical safety in their life..
- The discipline of caring for and giving to the needy around thus making them less self oriented to secure certain basic mental peace and satisfaction in their life..
I'm sure once these 3 basic Values of life are imparted to our children from the beginning, the right job is done on the behalf of the parents as that well balanced life alone ultimately leads one to truly find out the purpose of one's life on this earth!

Very useful article. Nowadays it is very important to teach our kids about moral values and sharing. As most are having only one kid, kids are not familiar with sharing and becoming self centered .
ReplyDeleteThanks Ranjana.. You said it very much again.. Yes.. These values truly help the children grow to the right personalities ultimately making them feel better in their lives at the same time helping out around for a cause!
