THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
You should be grateful to your parents. They gave you the body and
fostered the intelligence and love that are embedded in it - so gratitude is
their due. Everyday they pray for your health and wellbeing; they pray that you
earn a good name. If you do not honour them who are your living Gods, how can
you learn to honour the Almighty, the Creator of all? Parents are the ones that
reveal to you the glory of God and the means of worshipping Him. They are the
first representatives of authority a child meets, the authority executed
through love and care. Learn to submit yourselves to them and you will learn
how to submit to the Lord. You must conduct and behave in a manner that your
parents are happy. That is your duty and it is only when you fulfill this duty,
you are blessed by God.
