n a remote place of India there was a small village. The village was developing at full pace as time passed. It had everything
a village needed and was self-sufficient. There was a
prison also. There in the prison worked a man who had a job of pulling the body after it was hanged and doing the rituals. He was doing this job since the past few years. He had handled more than 300 bodies! He had lost all his human values and basic instincts of humanity. However he was too sick and tired of the job and he wanted a changed but since there was no one else in the village to do this job, he was forced to continue. He wanted to become a
caretaker of the same jail, but he was not allowed! Once the caretaker told him - "If you cut the throat of your mother and bring it to me then I will resign from my post and then you can be the caretaker!" The man thought this to be a brilliant idea as he had lost all his humanity values. He returned home. His mother was waiting for him. He took his mother inside the kitchen and took a knife and cut her throat! He then started running towards the jail thinking that now he might be the caretaker...he tripped on his way...the mother's throat said - "Son did you get hurt?" His eyes was filled with tears and the man who had lost all his human values....started crying! He was feeling sorry for what he had done! He had a motherly feeling! But its just a another body! - said his brain , his heart replied - Its my mother......my mother.... This is how much our mother loves us...they can lay down their life for us but not allow a scratch on us!! So next time when you disobey your mother or get angry on her...remember this story! There goes a saying - "God cannot be everywhere.......so he created mother!"Gaurav Prakash
