শৈশবের নীতি কথা

By -
পরিশ্রমে ধন আনে
পূন্যে আনে সুখ।
আলস্য দারিদ্র্য আনে
পাপে আনে দুঃখ।
উপরের কথা গুলো আমার নয়, আমার নানী প্রায়ই কথা গুলো বলতেন এবং নানীর ঘরের দেয়ালে লিখে বাঁধানো ছিলো। কথা গুলোর রচয়িতা আমার অজ্ঞাত। তবে কথাগুলো যারই রচিত হোক না কেন, কথা গুলো সার্বজনীন অর্থবহ চিরন্তন সত্য কথা।
আমার শৈশবে নানীর মুখে ছন্দময় আরো অনেক কথাই শুনেছি। তাঁর সকল কথার অর্থ আমি তখন বুঝতাম না তবে এখন সব কিছুই বুঝতে পারি। নানীর মুখে শোনা উপরের কথা গুলোকে আমি জীবন দর্শন মনে করি।
