O MAN!

education to your children ? Do you give them the message of humanity ? How far have you raised the character and conduct of your children? How far have you inspired them to be good citizens of the country ?
Man, if you are a brother to somebody, just consider whether you have done the duties of a brother. The test of your being a good brother is whether you feel happy or unhappy in the happiness or sorrow of your brother. How far have you tested yourself on this touchstone ? What sacrifice of your own interests have you made for the good of your brother ? How far have you made him share your own glory and honour ? If you are an elder brother, have you acted like Rama ? And if you are a younger brother, have you performed your duties like Laxamana ?
Man, if you are a neighbour to somebody, just consider whether you have performed the duties of a neighbour. Does your neighbours remember you for your good behaviour ? Does he preserve the treasure of your love in the locker of his heart ? Do you consider his son and daughter as your own son and daughter? Do you treat his wife as your sister ? Have you wept with him in his sorrow and laughed with him in his joy ? It is the duty of a good neighbour to consider the honour and dishonour or gain or loss of your neighbour as your own honour and dishonour or gain or loss. You must test yourself on this touchstone.
Sister, if you are a mother, just consider whether you have faithfully performed the duties of a mother. Just consider how much you have loved your sons and daughters.
