The Love of Parents




Bhai Sahib Bhai Gurdaas jee writes in his Vaars:
ਨੂੰਹ ਨਿਤ ਮੰਤ ਕੁਮੰਤ ਦੇਇ ਮਾਂ ਪਿਉ ਛਡਿ ਵਡੇ ਹਿਤਆਰੇ ॥
nooh nit mant kumant de-e maa pio shhadd vadde hatiaare
The daughter-inlaw then started continuously advising her husband to desert his parents instigating that they had been tyrants.

ਵਖ ਹੋਵੈ ਪੁਤੁ ਰੰਨਿ ਲੈ ਮਾਂ ਪਿਉ ਦੇ ਉਪਕਾਰੁ ਵਿਸਾਰੇ ॥
vakh hovai put rann lai maa pio de upkaar visaare
Forgetting the love and help of the parents, the son along with his wife got separated from them.
ਲੋਕਾਚਾਰਿ ਹੋਇ ਵਡੇ ਕੁਚਾਰੇ ॥੧੨॥
lokaachaar hoe vadde kuchaare 12
Now the way of the way of the world has become grossly immoral.

(12)(Vaar 37: Pauree 12)Bhai Gurdaas jee in another Pauree writes:
ਮਾਂ ਪਿਉ ਪਰਹਰਿ ਕਰੈ ਦਾਨ ਬੇਈਮਾਨ ਅਗਿਆਨ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥
maa pio parhar karai daan be-eemaan agiaan paraanee
The person who having deserted his parents performs charities, is corrupt and ignorant.(Vaar 37: Pauree 13)

  2. god bless u mandeep,its true...the girl n the boy both equally need to realize their responsibilities n duties towards their n each others parents for true religiosity is not about enchanting mantras mechanically but about living humbly,peacefully, fully n that includes service to humanity also (which further includes parents too-- for charity begins at home).

    Having an individualistic approach in life will culminate only in selfishness,loneliness, frustration n depression ultimately n in no way help us become an enlightened self actualized individual !

    thanx !
