"Mother and Motherland are greater than Heaven"
Mark It!
Mother is the Goddess on earth. A living Goddess indeed. She begets children
like you. She feeds them, nurses them, protects them, threatens them, cajoles
them, chastises them, educates them, and follows them to the goal.
Yes, ever since
she breathes life into you, she labors hard to lift you up, to keep you fit, to
put you on the path, and finally to light it up for your carefree journey.
Holding your rosy, sweet, little hand, she walks along the road of life towards
the land of bliss.
In
your on ward march, she struggles with you, weeps with you, laughs with you and
bears your burden. In short, she shares your joys and sorrows.
Does she not then,
resemble your shadow?
Yes,
she does.
You cannot separate her, nor could you live without her. You draw your strength,
health and mental wealth from her. She is within you unseen, whereas you were
within her, all but seen. She is present in you from top to bottom. You feel her
influence in thought, speech and action. She is seen, where you are, and she is
felt where you stay, i.e., she is one with you mentally, physically and
spiritually.
Her
spirit
rather permeates your whole-being.
Her
mission in life is to make you a MAN, think like man, speak like man and act
like man.
