We start our life at home. We must learn to obey and respect our parents. Develop the habit of greeting your parents everyday. Be kind and loving to your brothers, sisters, relatives and servants. Be care to your Grand father and Grand mother. Be kind to animals and small creatures. If you have space at home develop a small garden.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Proper attention should be given to this in every act of our life. Bathing, washing hands and feet, brushing the teeth twice early in the morning and before going to bed, trimming the nails and washing our clothes and only wearing the washed clothes every day – these are important aspects of our personal hygiene.
Our bed should be kept clean. A towel may be placed on the pillow to keep it always clean. This will prevent the pillow from being soiled by the oil on our hair. Beds, blankets and bed-sheets should be spread out in sunlight once a week.
Dirty clothes should not be strewn all over. They may be kept separately in one place and washed at the proper time. It is better to learn to wash our clothes ourselves than to send to a laundry.
Wear always simple clothes. Your clothes should not be too tight. Tight clothes are injurious to health. It is better always to have a hand-kerchief.
We should keep our room always clean. Books and clothes should not be thrown pell-mell. They should be kept at proper places. This is an art by itself and we learn a lot by giving attention to it.
While walking on the road, traffic rules have to be followed. Throwing pieces of paper or fruit peels and spitting wherever we like are bad habits. Road belongs to us as much as our own house. The lanes or by-ways should not be used as open latrines or urinals. We should never indulge in any improper act causing damage to public property.
Have a Peaceful home and Peaceful circumstances.
