माँ का कान पकड़ने की कथा (चोर और माँ की कहानी)

The story of holding mother’s ear (The story of a thief and mother)
Aesop was a storyteller who lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 560 BCE. This story is part of his collection of tales known as “Aesop’s Fables”. A schoolboy stole a book from one of his schoolmates and brought it home to his mother. Instead of chastising him, she rather encouraged him in the deed. In course of time the boy, now grown into a man, began to steal things of greater value, till at length being caught in the very act, he was bound and led to execution. Perceiving his mother following among the crowd, wailing and weeping, he begged the officers to be allowed to speak one word in her ear. When she quickly drew near and applied her ear to her son’s mouth, he seized the lobe of it tightly between his teeth and bit it off. Upon this she cried out lustily, but he replied; “It is she who is the cause of my ruin, for if when I stole my schoolmate’s book and brought it to her, she had given me a sound flogging, I should never have so grown in wickedness as to come to this untimely end.”
Spiritual Significance: – If you are in the habit of doing bad things then it is very difficult to get rid of them. That is why Baba says, stealing should never be done, otherwise Dharmaraj will have to punish you. In the story, however, he grows up to be a thief because his mother did not warned him, and here Baba is training His Brahmin children with Gyan and Yoga and giving them the kingdom of heaven, so they should do their best to stay away from vices like theft and greed and do intense effort to take inheritance from Baba.
