Thought for the Day

Scriptures declare: Revere the mother and father as God. Mother’s womb is the birthplace of one and all, be it a commoner or the Avatar Himself. Therefore, adore the mother as God. Uphold her name and respect her. There is nothing greater than mother’s love. Mother’s words are always sweet. At times she may use harsh words, but they are meant only to correct you, not to hurt you. There may be a wicked child, but never a wicked mother in this world. Most modern youth do not care enough for their mother. They think they are highly educated and that the mother does not know anything. It is a great mistake to think so. Never look down upon the mother. A mother also should not force her children to accede to her wishes. She must guide the children on the righteous path through love and sincerity. She should aspire that her children be good, they need not be great!
