XENIAL

Grandfather...

There was a rule - to abide the “Rule of Family”

Who would like to bind the bell on the cat’s neck?

When I was a child, I used to hear the stories from my grand mother…

That was not only about the family, the whole world.

How daring, laborious, wise and determinant was he?

Even a single day he has not taken rest

From sunrise to sunset he was busy in his own business.

After all, he has spent time for all, when free

As a devotee of Bramha, Bramhacharya was part of his life

He never forgets to maintain life like a Monk within four walls of this materialistic world.

Not only strict for others, also for himself

Everyday, it must be he read Bhagavad Gita, Purans…etc.

He was eating to sustain

But we were sustaining to eat.

Difference is that at seventy, he ploughs his own land by the help of ancient wooden plough.

That means Swarajya with non-violence.

In his eye, Guest is not less than God

No-one return back empty handed from him.

Above all he never neglects his family

Tried to fulfill cent percent of wanting

And guide all to lead a perfect life.

Since then we have reached the third generation of our family

Being a part of this combined family we are proud of it

But what he managed was never managed by us.

So a traditional family always needs tradition man

Like our grandfathers – Gandhi, Nehru, Patel

In their times, there was no money or power like now-a-days,

Still… he has only internal power…

Mind power is always greater than money power.

Hence, the family is not just maintained by money and power, also by a well versed mind.

This was proved by them, when we get freedom to maintain our family in our own way.
