This is undoubtedly very surprising and provides food for thought. When children become self-reliant, when happy days come in the world, parents call from the other side or are bedridden due to old age. Many diseases including high blood pressure, diabetes do not allow them to enjoy happy days. Parents who have built a pyramid of sacrifices throughout their lives to raise and educate their children go behind the scenes without the joys and sorrows of life. People who have never bought good clothes for themselves, have not spent all their money on fulfilling their desires, have not eaten anything good, or have spent their lives in constant efforts to keep their children well, without giving up their dreams of pleasure, have found happiness through sacrifice.
However, when the time comes, when children can take them for walks, give them good clothes, buy a lot of food, then those people are either not there or even if they survive, they are very poor. When medicine is needed more than food, then people’s luck returns but time and health do not return. The good days have been left behind for a long time! That is now a long time ago. They want to eat good fruits but their body cannot digest them, they want to travel far but their legs do not allow them. Even those whose life is spent in sorrow do not spend their entire time in sorrow. However, those who have become parents with all their heart spend their lives in sacrifice. Without suffering themselves, they build a ladder-bridge of ‘I am fine’ for their children by nurturing their diseases. When children can stand by their parents, time has passed.
The elderly need care the most. People to talk to and people to be by their side. However, in the era of modern slavery, parents become extremely lonely in old age. After raising a big family, they reach the age of two! They see wealth in front of their eyes but do not see the shadow and body of their children. Everyone is busy like everyone else. They do not return home without special occasions. Parents wait like a chatak, but no one returns home at the end of the day. Therefore, the sorrow of the elderly does not end. Again, in some places, elderly parents do not find a place in the family of their children. When sorrow surrounds them, they start wishing for death. The sorrow of parents does not decrease during the days of helplessness.
May we also grow old by constantly trying to keep our parents well and praying for their well-being. May we fulfill the wishes of our parents at the first opportunity. Not for anything else, they spend a lifetime in their service just because of this identity of parents, but even if they spend a single day serving them, the debt will not be repaid. The satisfaction of parents illuminates the life of a child. By being by their side, keeping them with them, life becomes blessed. You can do or think of anything to the contrary! But the outcome of this will not be good.
How many days are left to become a parent/mother? Is old age far away? Whatever we do, we will get it back. Do not let your parents return to the Lord’s call without satisfying them. You cannot stop them from returning, so always try to keep them satisfied. If your parents are displeased, the Lord’s displeasure increases. Therefore, do good to your parents, serve them and pray for them with body and mind. Those who have lost their jewels should shed tears on the path taught by the Lord. There is no greater blessing for a child in this world than parents. If the blessing is wasted, the Hereafter will be ruined. One has to dedicate one’s life in search of the happiness of the parents. If the parents suffer, even say ‘Ugh’, then there is a fear that Paradise will be ruined. However, the good news is that no parent expects anything bad from the child. Parents do not curse their children. It is their generosity that brings happiness and light to the child’s life.
