GABAN

by Munshi Premchand

Real education starts after leaving school and that is what is helpful in our lives.

Friends develop sympathy when they think that nothing is concealed from them. Women have a stronger tendency to display intimacy amongst each other.

“Why do you believe that a woman who comes and goes freely is bound to be frivolous?

–the country which has more independent woman, the more civilised that country is. To keep women prisoners, or in purdah, or miles away from menfolk means that in our country the general public is so depraved, that it doesn’t hesitate at all to insult women.

” “I have understand, Brother, that’s the way of the world. People will steal and beg for their sons, but for daughters, there’s nothing at all.”

Anyone who has not sat alone, weeping and wailing over the memory of someone or the absence of someone, has been deprived of one of the joys of life, on which hundreds of laughs have been sacrificed.

As Gosainji the saint said, “Satisfy selfish desires, and everyone will love you!”
