Marthoma Sleeha Syro Malabar Cathedral Parish Bulletin Oru Nalla Appante Chavarul Sayings of Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara to Children 08 January 2017 Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara the pioneer of education, tried to do away with the caste distinction in Kerala and make it possible for all the children irrespective of caste creed to sit together and study. He first used the word Pallikkoodam in Malayalam Language. Children, you are God's investment in the hands of your parents. The Children who have love of God and fear of God will love and respect their parents Trust your mother; God will hear the mother's request like the baby's request. Wisdom and purity should be spiritual food, like food for natural growth. Go to school regularly and recall what is taught during the week. Laziness fosters evil habits. Let your friends be those who love God. Good friends will make you good. Keeping of bad books is like hiding fire in straw. Regular reading of good books and meditating on it will illumine the mind. Attain punctuality by means of a regular time-table. You angels will be turned to devils, if you fall into evil situation. You ought to reach home before evening and take part in the evening prayers. Your attire and sanctity ought to be according to your age. Immoderate attire will only lead you to evil. Let your ability be in piety regulating your life and controlling your senses. You ought to love truth and justice. What you earn by deceit and theft will melt like snow. 5
