Throughout our childhood, we were told that we should always obey our elders and listen to everything they say, without questioning them. But, we guess sometimes it's ok to listen to children and follow their footsteps too. Because it's children, who unknowingly teach us some of the greatest lessons of life, which even learned people are not able to at times.

I am sure in every school, there was a good 15 to 20 minutes dedicated to morning assemblies where we all used to sing the national anthem and on special occasions 'Saare Jahan Se Acha'. I still remember that there was a particular line, “Mazhab nahi sikhata aapas mein bair rakhna.” (Religion does not teach us to fight amongst ourselves.)

This young kid taught us the real meaning of that line and what being secular truly means. A twitter user named Rohan recently shared the story of his daughter innocently combining Hinduism and Islam. He wrote, “My daughter just said that she needs to do the namaz. She bent down in proper Muslim prayer form and started chanting the Gayatri mantra, because that's the only prayer she knows.”

My daughter just said that she needs to do the namaz. She bent down in proper Muslim prayer form and started chanting the Gayatri mantra, because that's the only prayer she knows.

This kid's gesture melted the internet's heart and people started sharing similar stories from their childhood.

She is the true Indian: she holds up the mirror for all of us. I pray that she remains like this all her life. Heaven's choicest blessings to her. https://t.co/2o0KHmRhT6

How adorable! Sometimes it's the children who teach us what we need to know. "Mazhab nahi sikhata aapas mein bair rakhna". https://t.co/A7HgqRGDRi

Absolutely brilliant! ð
For all those who ever thought their 'religion' was something more than a set of imprints, this should settle it https://t.co/BIA4IobUmY

I'm somewhat similar to your daughter...Take the name of Allah and reads Hanuman Chalisa coz that is what I know... Have been doing this past 7 years so now for me God is just one who resides in heaven so whatever name we take if ur intention is right it will definitely be heard

If only everyone learned from this kid's innocent and wonderful gesture, the world will be a better place to live in.
