9 Methods of Separation
in Everyday Life

साधु ऐसा चाहिए जैसा सपू सभु ाय ।
सार सार को गहि र ै थोथा दई उड य ।।
—कबीर
Just like winnowing makes the husk blow away
while retaining the grains, similarly, sages let
the virtues stay while discarding the vices.
—Kabir

Malli and his sister Valli are excited for their summer
vacations. Their parents have planned a trip to visit their
relatives and friends living across India. They always stay
in touch with their relatives and friends. Do you also keep
in touch with your loved ones?
Their first halt is at their Nani’s (maternal grandmother’s)
house in Haryana. It is surrounded by large fields. Malli
and Valli are fascinated by the variety of grains piled up
in the courtyard. Their Mami (maternal aunt) and Mama
(maternal uncle), along with other community members,
are busy separating small stones and husk from the grains
with their hands.

Malli and Valli are curious to know why this is being
done. Their Nani notices their curiosity and explains, “We are
removing these stones so that the grains are fit for cooking.”
