Value of parents...

[Guest guest]

Dear Sons and Daughters in TBP,

 

Love and Love alone....

 

I do not get tired of sending n-number of mails on this subject, the

value of " parents, mother, father, elders, children " , etc. I do so

only to reinforce this idea that Our Parents are our Gods and

Goddesses, whatever mistakes they might have committed, knowingly or

unknowingly, for the simple reason, we are here today, because of

them only. Let us worship them with heart and soul. This is the best

and easiest way to realise God.

 

Love and Love alone....

Value of parents...

 

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along

with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow

perched on their window.

The Father asked his Son, " What is this? "

The Son replied " It is a crow " .

After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time,

" What is this? "

The Son said " Father, I have just now told you " It's a crow " .

After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd

time, What is this? "

At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt in the Son's

tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. " It's a crow, a

crow " .

A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time,

" What is this? "

This time the Son shouted at his Father, " Why do you keep

asking me the same question again and again, although I have

told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to

understand this? "

A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an

old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was

born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page.

When the son read it, the following words were written in the

diary :-

 

" Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa,

when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23

times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a

Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time h e asked me the same

question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel

irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child " .

 

While the little child asked him 23 times " What is this " , the

Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all

23 times and when today the Father asked his Son the same

question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.

 

So..

 

If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at

them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool,

obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your

parents.From today say this aloud, " I want to see my parents

happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little

child. They have always showered their selfless love on me.

They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm

and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today " .

Say a prayer to God, " I will serve my old parents in the BEST

way. I will say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no

matter how they behave.
