Learning lesson from a Bird

What can we expect from a bird? She builds a nest for her children, bring foods and care for them and at the right time she teaches how to fly and her job is finished. That is the Dharma for her.

Now a day’s parents are doing the same things with their child also. They beget child, care for them and educate them and finally teach them how to fly i.e. how to earn money and they think their job is finished. But do we think this is only our Dharma towards our children?

This much even a bird also does for its children whom we consider an insignificant in compare to human being. Then what is the difference between us and a small bird? A human form of life is for higher principle and goal not just for eating, sleeping, mating and defending.
 
And this is the duty of every parent not to teach their children only to just earn money but morality also. Without morality and spirituality human form of life is nothing but a animal form of life.

In Srimad Bhagwatam Canto 5.5.18 it is said if you cannot teach spirituality to your children then you are not supposed to become a father.

गुरुर्न स स्यात्स्वजनो न स स्यात् पिता न स स्याज्जननी न सा स्यात् ।
दैवं न तत्स्यान्न पतिश्च स स्या-न्न मोचयेद्य: समुपेतमृत्युम् ॥5.5.18 ॥

One who cannot deliver his dependents from the path of repeated birth and death should never become a spiritual master, a father, a husband, a mother or a worship able demigod.

So, if a bird can follow the religious principles by proper caring of her children then why we are not following our Dharma towards our children? A child is worth who care for his parent and earn only its bread and butter is better than a child who earn too much but do not respect his parent and care for them.

Be a responsible parent and teach morality to your children because it is the subject which your child can not show in his report card but it will be more valuable in for his life report card.
