For this command is

For a command is a lamp, teaching is a light, and corrective discipline is the way to life.

The one who follows instruction is on the path to life, but the one who rejects correction goes astray.

A wise son heeds [and is the fruit of] his father’s instruction and correction, but a scoffer listens not to rebuke.

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

My son, keep your father’s command, and don’t reject your mother’s teaching.

Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life.

The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving fountain; those who accept it avoid the snares of death.

This Navratri light the lamp of happiness, prosperity and knowledge, Happy Navratri!

“No man is fit to command another that cannot command himself.” – William Penn
