People who take revenge do not do so just for the sake of it; they are avenging themselves for the pain they were subjected to in the past. This is revenge in operation. Service to Parents Is Service of God The first and foremost service worth doing is one for your parents. If you take care of your parents, you will not lose your peace of mind. Nowadays, people do not serve their parents with a true heart. When a man turns twenty-five or so, he gets married and acquires a ‘guru’ (wife). As soon as the guru appears, she wants to move away from his parents into a new home. Have you seen such gurus? As soon as he acquires a guru, he changes. The ‘guru’ will tell him that he has no idea what his mother is like. At first he may not listen, but after being told this several times over, he changes his opinion about his own mother and starts following his wife. If a person serves his parents with a pure heart, he will never experience loss of peace; that is how this world is. This world is not such that you can ignore it. When a man does not take care of his parents, people will blame him and not the parents. I tell people that the parents are not receiving good care because they themselves did not care for their own parents. So this understanding is wrong. From now on if they were to start afresh and behave as good children or parents should, it would be good. That is what I am encouraging in each and every home. The children are changing for the better and so are the parents. In doing service for the elderly, our Vignan (science of Absolutism of Dada) will blossom. How can one serve an idol? Do the legs of an idol ache? Service should be done for one’s guardians, the elderly, or for one’s guru.
