H e does not honor his ancestors while they are alive, but he holds feasts in their honor after they have died Tell me, how can his poor ancestors receive what the crows and the dogs have eaten up?


quote 6810  |   The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
ANG 332 SGGSJi 

How does offerings of feast and performing of rituals help parents who are now dead? What should have helped is that the children looked after their parents and grandparents when they were alive. Attending to their needs and making their lives as comfortable as possible would have meant a lot more than putting food out as offerings after they are dead. One should look after parents when the opportunity to do so is there




O son, why do you argue with your father? It is a sin to argue with the one who fathered you and raised you


quote 6806  |   The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
ANG 1200 SGGSJi 

Love of parents cannot be repaid in full. Loving parents and looking after them repays some of their love and efforts of raising their children. Disagreements / arguments happen due to the want of something or exercising power. Sometimes it can be due to ego of having something that is materialistic. Why forget that in an instant all will be left behind when one dies. Do not argue with parents instead listen and resolve the differences
