SERVE YOUR MOTHER

[Guest guest]

Dear Bharata Mata Children of TBP,

 

Love and Love alone...

 

We are totally indebted to our parents, particularly our mother.

Mother was always there to take care of us and protect us. God will

not respect those who don't respect their parents. By obeying our

parents, we can become free of I-ness, Mine-ness and attain eternal

peace.

 

If you are a son, be a good son. If you are a daughter, be a good

daughter. Serve your mother to your heart's content. Do not expect

anything from her, except her blessings always to be able to serve

her. One can never repay the debt due to parents, even by serving

them. Whatever struggles they have undergone to bring us up, we can

never pay it back, in spite of doing any kind of service to them. We

are totally indebted to our parents. The only way to repay, if we

can -- I do not think so, but still -- the debt we owe to them, is

to keep them happy always. By making them happy, we are serving the

Universal Parent-hood and in other words, we are serving the Creator

Himself or Herself. The amount of difficult a mother has undergone

to bring her children up, the children can never serve the mother to

that extent to repay the debt.

 

However, educated and intelligent we may be, in childhood we did not

know how to sit, but our mother taught us everything. She taught us

how to crawl, how to sit, how to stand, how to walk, how to wash,

how to eat and everything in life by holding on to our finger. She

spoon-fed us and gradually taught us how to eat. Mother always

protected us, whatever we have done as children.

 

Sometimes, men take over by their arrogance and casually say, so

what is the great deal? The reply is very simple -- try to keep a

child for two days in your lap and see for yourself. It is because

of mother's love and strength (matru sakthi) that we have all been

taken care of as children and now we are, what we are. Therefore, we

should serve our parents, whatever our present position, or status,

or job might be. Those who don't understand this, we should pray for

them so that they realise the value of respecting the elders and

especially parents. If one does not respect parents, one cannot

appreciate the presence of God and God will not be happy at all who

neglects their parents. If so, God or Self realisation is impossible.

 

So, by making our parents happy, we will become free from I-ness,

(i.e., reach ego-less state) and mine-ness (detachment) and

ultimately attain Eternal Peace

 

Hari Om Santhihi.

 

Love and Love alone...
