4. ...but I have always thought that Indians are rather rational people, and for us, I find,
reason and conscience are mutual correctives.' (The author's mother says this to Rashid.)
This means that often our conscience steps in and helps to correct something we did by
mistake. We often find a rational way to explain why we did something and to evaluate
whether what we did was right or wrong. Reasoning and the innate feeling of good or
bad influence each other and help to set things right and guide our actions.
Think of an occasion when you tried to rationalize what you did by convincing yourself
and others that you had a valid reason for doing it. Or, think about an occasion when
your conscience came in the way and you did not do something you were planning to
do. Discuss this with the student sitting near you.​
