Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 It is not a matter of great celebration when a son is born in a amily. Only when he earns a good name in society should his birth ecome an occasion for celebration. Many parents in their exuberance f joy at the birth of their son indulge in all sorts of senseless celebrations. Such parents spoil their own children. Mothers should keep a close watch on the conduct of their children. Is he going on the right path? Is he working for the welfare of society? Is society approving his conduct? Is he gaining the respect of society? Mothers should keenly observe all this. Easwaramma was very conscious of these matters; she was, in fact, an ideal mother. When visitors came to the house, she would send out her children to greet them properly, to enquire about their welfare and requirements and to offer them a seat in a respectful manner. You scarcely find such conduct anywhere oday. Children are well educated, their talents are encouraged, but hat for? To earn money? Even a beggar earns money. Money is not the goal of life. - From Swami's 2002 Easwaramma Day Discourse Now surf faster and smarter ! Check out the new Firefox 3 - Edition * Click here!
