Value-Based Questions

Mother, My Best Friend
Mother, you taught me to care
From you I learnt to share,
Scold me whenever I am wrong
But never remain angry for long.
Mother, do not hold my hand
But guide me so that I understand,
Good and evil, the world unknown
Help me to recognise on my own.

(a) In what ways does your mother guide you?
(b) What values have you learnt from your mother?
(c) Ask your teacher/parents to tell the stories of great deeds of some famous mothers like Jija Bai, Yashoda and Mother Teresa.
(d) What are the qualities that you admire in your mother/father?
Answer:
(a) My mother is so good when I do good. But she never remains silent when I am wrong. She scolds me and warns me not to repeat the same mistake. She teaches me good manners at bed time. She teaches me how I can keep myself away from evils.

(b) I have leamt kindness, obedience, good manners, punctuality, discipline, etc. from my mother. These are great values as they shape a child’s life in the long run.

(c) Jija Bai: Jija Bai was an ideal mother of the great Shivaji. She used to tell him stories of bravery. She was the symbol of faith and courage. She inspired Shivaji to do or die for the country. It was due to his mother that Shivaji became such a great personality in India.

Yashoda: Yashoda, the wife of Nanda from Gokul, became famous as the foster mother of Lord Krishna. She brought up Krishna after Vasudeva put the new bom Krishna beside her. She played the role of an ideal mother. She loved Krishna and took a good care of him.

Mother Teresa: She was perhaps God’s greatest gift to the mankind. She brought relief to the millions of sick, abandoned, destitutes and the dying. She dedicated her life to serving the ‘poorest of the poor’. Her heart was filled with a mother’s love and care. Perhaps, therefore, she continued serving the needy till her last breath.

She started homes for destitutes, uncared children, orphanages and clinics for the poor. She died on September 5, 1997. She showed us that the path of service was the most beautiful form of worship.

(d) Both of my parents are blessed with several good qualities; for example, tolerance, patience meekness, punctuality, honesty, etc. Such qualities are becoming rare nowadays. But I am fortunate enough that God has blessed me with parents having these high qualities. The love and care that my parents shower on me are matchless. And the way they try to cultivate these qualities in me is really praiseworthy. I love my parents very much.
