Ladies' Day is celebrated to make you understand the value of mother's love and her concern for you. You owe your existence to your mother. "The Bhagavad Gita says that a woman has seven qualities, whereas a man has only three. So, never look down upon women. They are most virtuous. They are the very embodiments of nature. Men should realise the high status of women and honour and respect them accordingly. They should not make women weep and shed tears. A home where the woman sheds tears will be ruined. Men should give an honourable place for women and a respectable life. "The first title given to a woman is 'Griha-Lakshmi (the goddess of home). A woman is expected to confer all prosperity, honour and good name on the home and the family. She is characterized as ' Griha-Lakshmi' and not' Office-Lakshmi Another title for a woman is 'Ardhaangi' (the better half). This means that she is better half of the husband and not partner in his job. The third title is 'Ill...alu' (the Mistress of the Home). She is the mistress in the house and not in the office. Dharma-patni is the fourth title conferred on a married woman. This implies that the home is the dwelling for all righteousness. The home is the birthplace of all 'Dharmas' (rules of right conduct). Hence, righteousness should be fostered at home. A home is no trivial place. The home is veritable university teaching many subjects. The home is a centre of comfort and pleasure conferring joy. The home is a shrine that can make even the creator, Brahma, sing and others dance. The home with the husband is a school for the wife. Sai Baba, SS, 12/96, p. 333See More "Among the mother, the father, the teacher and the God. the mother is given the top most priority. Modem youth do not care for the 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." Sai Baba, SS. 12/99. p. 367 "The welfare of the son depends on the mother. It is because of the love of the mot...her that the son becomes great and eminent. So, the foremost duty of the son is to be I grateful to his mother, respect her and serve her. Divinity is immanent in every being. But who is responsible for this divinity within? It is the mother alone. The mother, who bears you for nine months with many difficulties, is ready to sacrifice even her life for your welfare. You owe your existence to your mother." Sai Baba, SS, 4/97. pp. 321 & 322 "The welfare of the son depends on the mother. It is because of the love of the mother that the son becomes great and eminent. So, the foremost duty of the son is to be I grateful to his mother, respect her and serve her. Divinity is immanent in every being. But who is responsible for this divinity within? It is the mother alone. The mother, who bears you for nine months with many difficulties, is ready to sacrifice even her life for your welfare. You owe your existence to your mother." Sai Baba, SS, 4/97. pp. 321 & 322 Women should change themselves and help to change the men and the children. They should develop qualities of sympathy, compassion, love and sacrifice. Study the lives of our great women, who were models of patience, fortitude, compassion and sacrifice. I desire that you should take the reins of leadership and bring peace and prosperity to the nation by leading ideal lives." Sai Baba. SS. 11/12-9...5, p. 295 "If the nation has to prosper, improvement must start with parents. Without peace and harmony at home, there can be no peace in the nation. This message should be propagated throughout the country on every November 19th, by observing it as Ladies' Day. You should teach people how to run their homes well and how to bring up children on right lines. You must deal calmly and tactfully with the men, if they are not cooperating. Though Ravana was evil-minded, his noble wife Mandodari, tried to correct him as much as possible. She advised him strongly not to keep Sita in Lanka, but to restore her to Rama" Sai Baba, SS, 11/12. 95, p. 294 -- When my arms cannot reach people who are close to my heart, I always hug them with my prayers http://www.ssso.net http://www.dharmakshetra.org.in http://www.facebook.com/DeepakBharwani/ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dharmakshetra/321631187878650 -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "saimsg" group.
