The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Rules The World

The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand of the mother. (Cradle means a small bed, in which babies and small children sleep) The proverb implies that the very same mother who rocks the cradle to put her child to sleep, also rules the world. How is this so?

The world ‘ rule ‘ in the proverb means to influence People to guide and direct them and to lead them. It is the mother who teaches her child she molds the character of the child.The children naturally will follow the guidance of her mother.What they have been taught will then be the guiding force behind the decisions they  make.

No wonder it was that Abraham Lincoln said, ” All that I am or hope to be love to my angel mother. ” In India Jijamata who inspired Shivaji Maharaj as a child with stories of great heroes. It was this inspiration that led him to lead the battle for Hindavi Swaraj and to establish the Maratha kingdom.

You may not turn out to be a great ruler, but what you have been taught by mother during childhood will be the guiding force in all that you do during your lifetime.
