Fwd: How Much have You Served Your Elders?

[Guest guest]

Hare Krsna Whatever we have received, must be utilized properly. Children must be taken care of properly. They must be taught good lessons and things. They must develop good inner feelings and expressions (bhava). They must have good characteristics and qualities. Their behavior must be good. You have time to earn money, but what are the children doing? How are they being raised? What are they learning? You are totally oblivious and not paying any attention to such things. Oh Brothers ! The children are the real treasures. They can become great souls and that will be such a great thing. For the number of great souls that were born, their mothers were found to be very divine and such divine mother's children inevitably turn out great. Many have become great saints and great souls. Mother's nature comes in the children. Therefore mothers must want their children to learn good lessons and things in life. But on the contrary,

the lessons she gives are just the opposite. She teaches the girls to keep their money in their own possession, so that when there is a separation that money comes to the girl, and with such teachings she sends her daughter to the in-law's home. She teaches things like why do you do all the work, let the sister-in-law and others do the work. Don't do so much work. All this leads to confrontation with the husband's family. Now just think, what if such things were taught by all the mothers? One day we too will have a daughter-in-law and she too will behave the same way. She too will not work and we will complaint that my daughter-in-law does no work. If you do good, then things will be good for you. Brothers ! If you do evil, then things will be bad for you. "Kaliyug hai is haath de, us haath le, kyaa khoob saudaa nagad hai." Have great respect for your mother and father, your in-laws and elders, serve them, give them respect, then these

impressions will be imprinted on the children. In old age they too will serve you. But if you do not do this, if you do not serve the elders, then the children too have the same impressions in their mind and their nature too will become the same. We cannot remain the same at all times and there will be a time when this body too will become old and incapable of doing a lot. At that time, your children will not come to help out. Then you will complaint that they do not help, they do not listen. Well! How much have you served your elders? Now why must you expect anything from your children? Therefore commit at this moment and let your conduct and behavior be good.
