Speech reveals the man

     
                                Speach reveals the man




  Once a king was passing through a forest  with a soldier and commander-in -chief of his army. The king felt very thirsty. His soldier went in search of water. At a distance he found a well and saw an old man offering water to the passers by. The soldier went to him and ordered -" Oh blind man ! Give me also a glass of water. Be quick !. " The blind man replied  - " I don't offer water to a foolish servant like you. Go away from here." The angry soldier returned. Hearing the words of the soldier, the commander-in -chief himself went to him and said-" Oh blind brother ! give me a glass of water quickly." The blind man replied beautifully -" It seems that you are the master of the servant who came earlier. There is dirt in the mind but you speak in sweet words outwardly. I won't give you also water." The chief went and lodged a complaint to the king. The king became more curious and himself went to the man. After greeting him he said-" Sir ! I am thirsty. My throat very dry. Will you please give me water to quench my thirst ?" The blind man offering him a seat said -"  Your Highness ! Please sit down, I will give you water now." After drinking the water the king asked the blind man -" Sir, without the eyes how did you come to know that one is just a soldier, the other as the master of the army and me as the king? "
The blind man replied - " Your Majesty ! You don't need eyes to know a person. The speech itself reveals the person."

Mother , you are unique !

           
                                 Mother , you are unique !


          In the words of Shankara, " A son may be bad but nowhere a mother is seen bad."

        God could not be everywhere, so he created mothers.


       A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.

        Mother is one to whom you hurry when you are in trouble.

      Children may outgrow mother's lap, but they will never outgrow her heart.

     Children are never a burden to their mother. However tender the creeper may be, still it carries big fruits like melons.


Mother is compared to the Earth, symbolic of patience, care and protection.

It is said that a mother can take care of ten children but ten children cannot take care of  one mother.

The real treasure of life is the love of mother.

She is the supreme. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. She conquers over all by her selfless service and love.

A mother is worth a hundred school masters.

" All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel  Mother." - in the words of Abraham Lincoln.
