When You deal with Elders
When you are dealing with elders and people who are senior in age, you must ensure that your behaviour is within the four corners established by the society in which we live and those limits must never be crossed. The elders and the people who are senior in age always expect that they should be dealt with properly by the juniors in age and their will must be honoured. It never pays when we insult a person. He will become our enemy and such a course must be avoided. If elders and senior in age are not so strong to become enemies, they can curse you and this curse is more damaging than the actual force utilization against us. We must try to earn blessings because when elders bless us, that gives encouragement to us and strength. We become stronger and we work with self confidence believing that henceforth we shall be the winners. We must realize and accept this fact of life that it is always better to go to a place of worship and perform some rites there to serve and help an elderly man and get his blessings. We may be praying from the core of our heart or it could be more ritual, but when an elderly person blesses us because of help, respect and regard shown to him, he will be doing all these things from the core of his heart and when somebody blesses us from the core of his heart, it is God speaking Himself. We must try to have such opportunities in life.
