Passage 17

In English

Firstly, you should teach your own children and put them on the right path. Only then can you be called a true mother. If you go to office neglecting your own children, they may take to wrong ways. Consequently, you will lose your peace of mind. Hence, take proper care of your family in the first instance. Respect your parents and in-laws. There lies the true meaning of ideal womanhood. Children, youth, elders, men and women, all should tread the path of truth. Only then can you spread joy and bliss every where in our nation and to the world at large. It is not merely our home or our physical body that we have to safeguard. We have to protect our nation. After all what is this physical body? It exists today but may not live to see another day. Body is like a water bubble. Mind is like a mad monkey. Do not follow the body, do not follow the mind. Follow your conscience. Only then can you attain happiness in all respects.
