Game of love 362- PARENTS

PARENTS

"O son, why do you argue with your father? It is a sin to argue with those who nurtured and raised you."

Guru Ramdas Ji 1534-1581

In this day and age, it has become the norm to disrespect our elders and get away with it. 

We have started to think they should do as we say and not the other way round. Parents also have adopted this philosophy and have started to let children get away with disrespecting them. 

Equality has hit another level. We want to be equals with everyone and everything they do. 

When daas was growing up, whatever our parents said was final, no questions asked. In this way, love and respect stayed intact. 

We have forgotten about all that our parents have done for us. They brought us in to this world, nurtured us, clothed us, educated us and fed us. The question is, what haven't they done for us? 

In reality, we can not pay our parents back for what they have done for us. Without them, we wouldn't be, who we are today. 

Please remember this the next time we have a petty falling out with our parents. 

Guru sahib ji has given parents the respect of God, as they gave us our first teachings. Let's remember all the good they have done for us and guarantee we will never upset them again. Their short falls come no where near. 

Ego and anger is only controlled through meditation, which creates a balance within. 

"The name of The Lord is the medicine; it is like an axe, which destroys the diseases caused by anger and egotism." Guru ArjunDev Ji

Unconditional love is the only substance we can repay our parents back with.

Vaheguroo!
