Lecture 1: What a Good Deed!
The lesson What a Good Deed! is about a small boy, Bayazid Bastami, who deeply loved his mother. One night, when his sick mother asked for water, he went to fetch it from a canal as the pitcher was empty. On returning, he found her asleep, so instead of disturbing her, he patiently stood by her side the whole night holding the water. In the morning, when his mother awoke, she was touched by his love and prayed for him. This act of obedience and respect became a sign of his greatness, and the boy later grew up to be the famous saint, Hazrat Bayazid Bastami. The story teaches us the values of love, respect, and service to parents.
