5 Qualities to be learnt from ‘Mother’
Life around us is full of lessons and learning. By watching and observing this free flow of life, we learn a lot. In fact, by withdrawing from our current situation, taking a break from our mind and opening ourselves to the surroundings, we often see life from a new angle.
One day, I observed my mother during one such break. She was performing her daily household errands. I was so amazed and touched by seeing her undying service that she has been doing for years. She is so weighty and aged now and still, I can feel that easiness and lightness in her when she washes my dirty laundry, that brightness on her face when she prepares new cuisines for me.
We talk about love now and then. For us somehow the whole definition of love starts and ends with our romantic partners. But love in its real sense is the perpetual care, concern, and attachment that our mom holds for us. Most of us are so used to her service that we rarely pay attention to her acts.
Some of the qualities that I have observed in my mom and holds for every mom on earth –
1) PATIENCE – No matter what happens nobody can beat our moms’ extreme patience. She waits for us for hours at the dinner table, gets up early every morning to meet our needs on time and listens to our ongoing problems with full dedication and concern. It seems she has endless patience which somehow never evaporates.
2) LOVE ♥ – She teaches us the art of unconditional love. Her love is the mirror image of universal or heavenly love as it is so untainted in its form. It is free from any demands and expectations. Whether we care for her or not, reciprocate with her feelings or not, she still loves us with the same intensity and dedication without any complaints. There is no ‘terms and conditions ‘ clause when it comes to our moms’ unconditional love. It grows more and more with time and will be with us forever ∞.
3) BALANCE – Most of us are struggling to draw the right balance in our lives. Some are concerned with work-life balance while some want to learn time management. We can learn this art of balance and effective time management from our mother. She flawlessly manages various aspects of her life with much ease, to our surprise. She knows when to prioritize what and how to handle multiple tasks at hand.
4) SERVICE – Actions indeed speak louder than words. When it comes to our mom, her endeavours and undying service is hard to describe and is something that can not be put into words and so is left to feel. She is always on her toes and serving the entire family without any offs or breaks. Her service is 24/7 available. She serves as a doctor, watchman, driver, cook, counsellor, teacher and the list goes on and on. Her service is so pure and immortal and is never a two-way process as it expects nothing in return.
5) SACRIFICE – Mother is the epitome of sacrifice and endless love. She sacrifices her career, personal goal, physique, comfort, and individuality for raising us. She bends her life to accommodate our needs and wishes. It appears that there’s no “I” concept in her life. She sacrifices and keeps at stake everything for us, without having any regrets.
We are very lucky to have her in our lives, who is always there for us. We can never repay her debts in this lifetime but can make some difference by recognizing her efforts and showering her with the love and care she deserves.
Her existence means a lot. Value her presence before it’s too late.
No man is poor who has a Godly mother. – Abraham Lincoln
