Many children feel disheartened when, despite dedicating themselves to caring for their parents, they face criticism and negative remarks. Spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj recently shared a powerful insight that addresses this very dilemma, offering guidance on how to continue fulfilling one’s duty with patience and devotion.
Criticism Despite Service
In a social media video, a woman shared her concern: although she serves her parents diligently, they often criticize her openly in front of relatives, causing emotional pain. Maharaj explained that this behavior, while painful, is not a reflection of the children’s efforts but of the limitations of aging minds.
He stated, “This is the result of your service — they may criticize you, yet you must not stop serving. In old age, intelligence diminishes, so no matter how much service you perform, they might still speak harshly.”
Service is a Test
Premanand Maharaj emphasized that such criticism is a test for those who serve. “If you serve and face criticism on the same matter, bear it with patience and continue your service. That itself is the greatest form of seva (duty),” he said.
When the woman questioned whether she should stop serving due to constant criticism, Maharaj firmly advised, “No, never stop. Children should continue performing their duties, regardless of how they are treated.”
Guidance for Parents
In another session, a mother asked whether she should stop correcting her misbehaving children as they grow older. Maharaj replied that parents must continue fulfilling their responsibilities and should not abandon their guidance, even if children argue or display rudeness.
Key Takeaway:
Premanand Maharaj’s message reminds all children and caretakers that service and duty must continue, irrespective of criticism or ingratitude. Patience, perseverance, and unwavering dedication are the true measures of devotion.
