Are parents not living embodiments of the Divine? Why have we forgotten to revere them? | பெற்றோர்கள் வாழும் கடவுள்கள் அல்லவா? நாம் ஏன் அவர்களை வழிபட மறந்தோம்?

In 1999 during the 9th Velvi, Gurumahan emphasizes that humility is fulfilled when we bow to our parents and perceive them as God appearing in human form.Understand this, the sins committed over many births gets washed away if you truly melt in surrender and let go even once. That is faith. When we surrender in faith, good things surely happen to us. That is why we say this: whoever worships their mother and father as God receives the full grace of the Divine. The sins committed by parents belong to them. But why should you commit sins? Why should you do wrong at all? Whoever you are, just think about it. Please do not misunderstand me. Suppose I place a stone here, shape it, decorate it grandly, and say, “This is the all-powerful God. People, worship this instead.” What would you do? You would immediately fall down, prostrate again and again, and place it on your head.The stone does not question you. “Hey, what did you do yesterday?” If it did question you, would you still bow before it? We do whatever we want because it does not question us. But the parents who gave birth to us, carried us for ten months, endured countless hardships, raised us, and made us who we are, why do we hesitate to worship them? Should I bow at their feet? Think about it. We worship stone idols, but what is wrong in worshipping parents who are living gods as mother and father? What they have done belongs to them. But we, as children, should never stray from our dharma. Your children and grandchildren watch what you do today. They see what their father and mother are doing.They see you bow at the feet of grandparents. Then what should they do? Why do we bow at the feet of our parents? What does bowing really mean? We say “Guru,” but some people bow to nothing. They do not listen to the Guru’s words. They cannot bow to the Guru at all. Then what does bowing mean?Bowing means humility and surrender. So we must show humility before our parents. You may be a collector. You may be a king. You may be a minister. You may even be the Prime Minister. But what do you truly want? Peace. From where does that peace come? It comes from mother and father. That is why our Sanatana Dharma teaches us to worship mother and father as God. What have we done today? We have forgotten.Send us Fan MailLet Wisdom Flourish!Let Peace Prevail! Let us protect Mother earth!Let us protect the Universe! Santhosamhttps://universalpeacefoundation.org
