Without our parents, none of us would be
here today. Many young people of today’s generation take
their parents for granted, for example they often find them embarrassing and
controlling. However, they don’t realise how much their parents do for them.
When you fall over as a child, who helps
you up stand on your feet again? At this moment, the parent rushes over to help
their child, and cares for them affectionately. The child in return shows
unconditional love for their parent. However, imagine the same situation with a
teenager with their friends, they wouldn’t want their
parents fussing over them as they struggle, as they would see this as an
embarrassment.
Swami can be seen as a mother figure, a
father figure or in any form you want to see him as. He shows unconditional
love to everyone whoever they are and cares for them as a parent does for their
child. Swami has stated in his speeches the importance of our parents. “Take into
consideration the amount of suffering our parents have been through for you to
be where you are currently. Therefore you must make them feel proud of your
life”. Our parents do so much for us and we don’t even realise how
their unconditional love is so significant.
