Art of living in this world

The amount of difficulty a mother has born for her child, the child can never serve his mother to that extent.

However educated and intelligent we may be, in childhood we did not know how to sit, but our mother taught us to sit. She taught us to walk, by our holding on to her fingers. We did not know how to eat, but mother made us sit and spoon-fed us and gradually taught us to eat. Our brothers and sisters too were in the same helpless boat as we were. Even in this state, after bearing a lot of difficulties our mother managed to take care of us.  Even while we were between games and sports, breaking things and scraping knees by climbing trees she was always there to pull us through.

Mother always protected us even during our other

antics such as catching hold off  a scorpion (bitchuu) and putting hands in fire etc.  Sometimes men taken over by their arrogance casually say to me, so what is the big deal? I say to them - try to keep a child for two days on your lap and see for yourself. It is because of motherhood and her motherly powers (matru shakti) that we have all been taken care off. Therefore however we can, whatever way we are capable, we must serve our parents. Those who don't understand, I pray that they recognize and learn to respect their elders. God will not respect, those who don't respect their parents. No one will trust them, because the one who could not be there for his parent's, who could he avail himself for? God is happy when he serves his parents. By following orders, certain "siddhi" spiritual powers is attained. Rather God realization is attained. Therefore, Brothers and Sisters, we must obey our parents. Serving others with our possessions, will remove our attachment, making us free from attachment and egotism. "Nirmamoha, Nirahankarah," Let us serve also our peers and those junior to us. Elevating the youth by teaching them about virtuous conduct is also a service, as it will give them the appropriate training and tools to be happy through out their lives. Let us provide good training to all youth, so that they may become good and virtuous.
