We have normally heard in India- Madha, Pidha, Guru, Daivam (mother, father, teacher, god). In my early ages I surprised why they say god in last, why mother is first. In my 41 years of life, I understood the reason. For any human beings Mother is more truth for all time. Our first understanding is mother, last understanding is god. Our first learning is love from our mother. Then love leads the life.
Through the mother we experience our father. Mother and father shows teacher. If we are not able to see the god in mother and father, we never experience a teacher in life.(here teacher means anybody in the world, not only school, college teachers. Because of we can learn from anybody). If we can see the god in mother, father and teacher, automatically we can experience the god. That time we can see the god in ourselves, so we become spiritual beings. Actually this is a step by step process. Most of the people are searching for god, but they could not find, because they lost first three steps in the process.
If you cannot love your mother, father and teacher- you never experience the god. Some people don't have concern about parents, but daily they are doing prayers, poojas, visiting temples or churches, reading scriptures etc… etc... Sure they never become spiritual beings (they may be ritual beings). Rituals are simple methods to remember the path to spirituality. But nowadays most of the people think that rituals are spirituality. Religions should teach the people to love and respect the seen gods (parents).
Shortly and strongly I can say that without the love on parents, we never experience the god.
Elder’s homes and nucleus families are symptoms of the social disease. We have so many justifications for the symptoms. But we never forget one thing. History is repeated. Life is repeated. What we do today is the value of our children in tomorrow. When we are young and healthy- normally we do not feel the helplessness and loneliness. So we never forget that” life is repeating”.
We never know the love of our parents for us
till we have become parents.

Quality of a society is decided by how the society deals the elder people and children. If we do any wrong things with them, we will suffer generation to generation. Because elder people are knowledge, children are future. Without the knowledge and the future, a society will collapse. Now we are in the wrong way. Wrong way leads to wrong destination or destiny. So we have to change……
great
