THE
CLASSIC HOME
Family
was the basic unit of the classic society. As wife with docility and
husband, rigidity formed the thesis and anti-thesis in the inherent
traits, demanding the parts they were playing, they worked in
perfect understanding of their duties, and so there surfaced
commendable synthesis that exuded harmony and unity in the classic
home. Women's intrinsic loveliness of chaste character pervaded the
home throwing a halo round the male members of high integrity; so
the home passed for Elysium for man's refuge. Oneness in thought and
action among the members of the family prevailed and it was
practised with steadfastness, rather can be said that the members
vied with one another for the demonstration of those highly laudable
principles.
This
classic home, as the primary unit of classic society took the
primary responsibility of imparting to their progeny classic ideals
of devotion to God; respect to the scriptures; reverence to the
elders; cordiality to the fellowmen; kindness to the dumb; affection
for the youngsters etc., all directed to create classic high deals.
Parents were looked upon as earthly living deities and they lived
for the creation of congenial conditions for the harmonious growth
of mind and body, particularly SOUL. Separation from parents, or
partition among brothers was unheard of. Restraint in thought and
word was zealously safeguarded and so their action, commendable
heightened the glory of the whole classic community. Weren't
they brought up by ideal parents? Its aftermath, any need to add,
was the emergence of a classic state.
