Happy Diwali

[Guest guest]

 

Hello All

On this Deepavali day just a few thoughts :

 

Do I become a contributor just by being an earning member of the family ,

or just by being a parent?

 

As parent, Do I know that, I cross the line between being a survivor

and I become a contributor only when I have the leisure to enjoy my child

so that HE OR SHE CAN GROW TO BECOME A CONTRIBUTOR?

 

Suppose I educate my children and bring them up with much care and attention

so that each one becomes a contributor, then I am a contributor

because, I CONTRIBUTE A CONTRIBUTOR.

 

Converting another person from the level of a survivor into that of a contributor

is a contribution.

 

That is why, it is said that among many dhanams ( gifts or contributions ),

"vidya dhanam" = gift of knowledge is considered greatest.

 

And, any vidya = knowledge is good; but if you are able to give

self knowledge to a person, that is the greatest contribution.

 

there is no disease worse than poverty

there is no poverty worse than IGNORANCE.

 

 

ON THIS DEEPAVLI DAY, LET US TRY TO GROW

from a mere survivor to a contributor

from a mere contributor to a contributor of KNOWLEDGE.

 

HAPPY DEEPAVALI

 

and very best wishes to each and every member of your family and friends

who are dear, near and far, who are known and yet to be known,

 

 

vimala and ram mohan
