You may find great joy in sitting and relaxing at home doing just nothing, when your son is grown up and he is earning for the family. But this is a sign of lethargy; slothful luxury is worse than dishonesty. It is the worst abuse of our humanhood. Insincerity to work and sluggishness are the most disgusting blots on the dignity of mankind.
You may argue - "but I have worked so many years and now I am getting pension after retirement."
No my child! I, as your guide, will not like you to sit idly and make merriment. Till you are alive (and able to move your body), you must do some work.
You may have enough resources for yourself and your family, but there are others in the society, who have nothing; so you should work to give something to these others.
Your children have studied and are well settled, but there are many youngsters who are not able to go to school. So rise up from your narrow mindedness and lethargy.
