Serve ur Mother

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

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
