Parents are the temples alive. They are next to God. They are incarnations of God. They not only give us birth but also foster us and enable us to become self reliant and pass our life purposefully. They get us educated, get us married and thus care at every juncture of our life. Once I asked one of my teachers about the members of his family. He replied that he had his wife and two children in his family and added that he keeps his mother with him. I repeated the same question to a gentleman. He replied that his wife and children they all live with his mother. It gave me a great relaxation. You may examine the difference of both the matters. In one matter, a person keeps his mother with him and in the next, a person lives with his mother, one who keeps his mother with him, seems obliging to his mother but the other who lives with his mother, is grateful and devoted to his mother. Is there anyone greater than our parents? What can we return to them? And what do we return to them for they cared at every step of our life and still they are caring in the same way without wishing for anything in return?
Take your old parents to the temple with you in the morning and let them enjoy with God there. Take them to a pilgrimage once in a year. I have seen people donating for the old age orphanages but they do not serve and care their old parents residing with them at their home. Then donating this way is an insult of donation in real. Serve the parents properly and make them drink water by your own hands till they are alive inspite of making common drinking water houses after their death. Presently, the people have big houses and separate rooms for every member but there is no separate room for their old parents. There is a place for all but not for the parents.
I want to tell to the old parents that they should not give their whole property to their children. Keep some
