Today being the sacred day when we remember the mother of the Divine, Easwaramma, Bhagawan tells us the importance of honouring one’s mother.
The scriptures teach, 'Maathru devo bhava', meaning ‘Revere your Mother as God’. You must revere your mother, who has brought you up with love, care and sacrifice. However famous one may be, if one does not honour their mother, they do not deserve respect. A person whose heart is so hard that it does not melt at the pleadings of the mother, deserves nothing but ridicule. This feeling of love and respect should also apply to the country which gave birth to you. You must hold your country in high esteem and follow its culture. Revere your own mother-tongue and learn to use it well. At the same time, you should not develop dislike or hatred against other languages or countries. Make yourselves a fit instrument to protect, love and care for your mother and motherland. - From Bhagawan's Discourse on November 27th, 1965. OUR LIFE IS HIS MESSAGE Sai Ram __._,_.___
