"Fruits for me" exclaimed the child as he waylaid his mother coming back from the puja room.
"Yes my dear!" replied the mother "But first you have to learn this shloka by heart. Repeat after me- Karmanye vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana"
"Karmani vadhiraste..." stuttered the child.
"Ma Phaleshu Kadachana" she repeated, moving her hands in tandem with the rhythm.
"Ma Phaleshu Kadachana" he recited, his head tracing her hand movements, eyes never leaving the fruit bowl.
"Perfect!" she exclaimed placing the fruit bowl in his hands "and that is for being a good boy”
She left under the illusion that she had incorporated the essence of Bhagavad Gita in her child and he was left with the expectation that every deed bears fruit!
