You must learn how to make your parents happy. Today, parents are being treated like servants. Some parents are being admitted into old age homes, when there is shortage of money. This is not correct. It is your responsibility to look after your parents and provide necessary support to them. They should not be sent to old age homes. You must keep them with you and serve them. You need not prepare special items for their sake. It is enough if you can give them what you are eating. Whatever job you take up, you must always serve your parents and make them happy. Serving your parents must be the greatest fortune you must aspire for. It is enough if you take care of your parents, your children and your family. That is the hallmark of real education.
Engkau harus belajar bagaimana membuat orang tuamu bahagia. Saat ini, orang tua diperlakukan seperti pelayan. Beberapa orangtua bahkan dirawat di panti jompo, bila ada kekurangan uang. Hal ini tidaklah benar. Merupakan tanggung jawab-mu untuk merawat orang tuamu dan menyediakan semua kebutuhan mereka. Mereka seharusnya tidak dikirim ke panti jompo. Engkau harus memperhatikan mereka dan melayani mereka. Engkau tidak perlu menyediakan barang-barang khusus untuk kepentingan mereka. Sudah cukup jika engkau bisa memberikan apa yang seperti engkau makan. Apapun pekerjaanmu, engkau harus selalu melayani orang tuamu dan membuat mereka bahagia. Melayani orang tuamu harus menjadi bagian terbesar yang engkau inginkan. Sudah cukup jika engkau mengurus orang tuamu, anak-anakmu, dan keluargamu. Itu adalah ciri dari pendidikan yang sebenarnya.
