Sai Inspires, 17.APR.2019 Om Sri Sai Ram Make every effort to understand the greatness of your ancient culture and traditions. Respect everyone. Never be rude to elders or guests who visit your house. Whether your parents are at home or not, offer your guests a seat and give them a glass of cold water or buttermilk. Speak to them with love. How many children are following such noble practices in the present times? Even when you speak on the phone, you should talk in a loving and respectful manner. Respect does not mean merely saying, ‘hello’. You should offer your namaskara (salutations) with humility and reverence. Na-maskara means offering respects without a trace of ahamkara and mamakara (ego and attachment). Our scriptures advise you to revere your mother, father, preceptor and guest as God. Cultivate and practice humility, love and reverence like the ancient Bharatiyas. That is the true sign of an educated person. – Divine Discourse, Apr 15, 2003.
