experience full of
pain to others and to tell them what the homeland meant.
My
beloved child!
Allah
is followed by your father in terms of your patronage.
Life
is led in three castles. One castle lasts for a lifetime, and the other
two follow the footsteps of time.
The
lifelong castle is your homeland. You are in it from your birth till
your last day in the world.
The
second castle is the home you are born and raised in. You are raised
with parental affection in this castle. This is a sacred place for you
because this place includes your mother and father who provide for you
and protect you from evils. You start speaking in this castle. You
become mature in this castle. This castle provides you with the
necessary means to survive in the third castle.
The
third castle is the home you establish with your beloved one. This is
the life castle that will blossom like a rose and gain meaning. You
should always remain indebted to your parents when you are in this
castle, and you should express your indebtedness. You should behave
consistently and show that your parents raised a good child.
Your
dignity, reputation, honour, your respect toward them and the services
you render to them add to their lives. The daily greeting you express
and assistance you provide are signs that express your indebtedness. In
this way you obtain the approval of your parents and behave in a way
that shows their affection for you was not in vain.
Your
mother gives shape to your intrinsic qualities, and your father protects
you from external evils.
