"Humility alone
makes you deserving and affluent, and eventually helps you attain Divinity. You
must also, always respect and revere your parents and consider the education
and all the facilities they have provided as their gift to you. Many parents
suffer a great deal of stress and strain to provide these to you. At times,
they may even fast to pay your fees and bills.
Scriptures clearly declare,
‘Mother is God, Father is God, Teacher is God, Guests are Divine, Teacher is
Divine (Mathru Devo Bhava,
Pithru Devo Bhava, Athithi Devo Bhava, and Acharya Devo Bhava). Your
good character will be understood only when you are humble and respect your
parents. Many people have lived these values in an exalted manner. Those with
humility and obedience to parents will achieve great success in all spheres of
life."

Dear Students', Vol 2, Ch 9, Feb 24, 2005)
