Premanand Maharaj Ji

What if my parents scold or abuse me? And what if I have no parents to serve?

Serve even when scolded; serve the helpless if no parents

Unlike an idol, parents may scold, yet serve them even then. If you have no parents, pray for the chance to serve a helpless elder.

Even if they criticise you, abuse you and scold you, you still serve them; then service of parents is supreme.
