SERVICE TO PARENTS OR SERVICE TO GOD ?
Questioner: I would like to understand what is more important, Serving God or Serving Parents?
Dadashri: Serving one's parents is one's moral duty (dharma) religion, regardless of what that relationship may be. The more a person practices this, the happier he will be. Serving the elderly will give you happiness. If you give happiness to your parents, you too will receive happiness. Those who make their parents happy will never be unhappy.
I met a man I once knew in a spiritual community and asked him what he was doing there. He told me that he had been living there for the past ten years. I told him that his parents were seriously ill and were living in extreme poverty. He told me that he could not do anything because helping his parents would mean forsaking hisdharma (religion). How can you call this a dharma? Dharma is to embrace your parents and your family. Your worldly interaction should be ideal. How can the worldly interaction that forsakes one's relationship with his parents and his duty be called a religion(dharma). Do you have parents?
If yes so respect them.
Thank you!
