There was a great saint in South India named *Thiruvalluvar*. He used to solve people's problems through his sermons. That's why people used to come to him from far and wide to listen to him.
Once he reached a city. After listening to his discourse, a businessman said to him with folded hands in despair...
*"Guruvar, I have saved every penny and collected a lot of wealth for my only son. But he is wasting my hard earned money mercilessly on bad addictions. I am very confused. I don't know for what crime God is doing this injustice to me."*
The saint smiled and said, *"Seth ji, how much wealth did your father leave for you?"*
The businessman said, *"He was very poor. He had not left anything for me."*
The saint said, *"Your father did not leave anything for you, despite this you have become so rich."*
*"But now despite accumulating so much wealth, you think that your son will spend his days in poverty after you?"*
The businessman said with tearful eyes, *"You are saying the truth. But where did I go wrong that he remains immersed in addictions."*
The saint said, *"You kept on earning money thinking that the duty of a father is to accumulate wealth for his children. In this process, you did not pay any attention to the education and development of values of your son."*
*"The first duty of parents towards their son is to make him worthy of sitting in the front row. He will achieve everything else on the basis of his ability."*
The saint's words opened the eyes of the merchant and he decided to give his son good values to bring him on the right path by not giving importance to money.
It is said that....
If you do not give toys of their choice to children*
They will cry for a while*
But if you do not give them good values*
They will cry for the rest of their life*
Therefore...
Give good values to your children*
Because...
Only good values can create a good world (life)...* 🙏🙏Jai Shri Radhe Krishna🙏🙏
