Respected swamiji, I am asking a doubt on behalf of my three sisters. we all are married.and have children also. The problem is that our mother(our father died in our early age)look after us after our father died. We admit that with our full respect.But she always act like step mother. That is, we were used to do all the work of our house and take care of her for getting good words from her. But she never used to do so.Daily by making any kind of reason she started to cursing us.But we were hepless. That time also we used to pray to god for changing her mind.But that become uselss. After our marriage we and our family gave full respect to her. But no use, she came to stay with three of us, after 2-3 days she start to make problems. I f we dont mind, she started to tell bad stories about our husbands with neighbours or those who are coming to our home,.That also we neglect, but started to going to neighbours and disturbing them by asking them, why you take all money from my son-in-law and i will never leave you….so…and….so. To avoid this as per her request we make one room for her in our house. But no use. From morning she starts her drama, by throwing utensils or shut the door strongly, or even spitting to us . If we oppose her by telling that , dont do such bad things, on the spot she tells that I never allow you to live happily, always cursing us . Now she crossed 80, there is no change in her character. If we tell our problems to any body , they says that all laws are supporting aged people, instea you will get punishment. Now she approached an advocate for filing case against us. If the court ordered us to look after her we will suicide with our family. If we ask her to hear satsang and sit some days in Asram, she told that Govt give me pension to live happily , so why should I go there? Swamiji, I dont know english well, so I cannot express my utter helpness towards you. The only thing I do is that I get up early in the morning and pray god to guide me in a sincere and truthfull way, and I also used to hear Your Prabhashanam in Asianet daily. Expecting your sincere reply.

Dear Sumaji,
Remember the story of Prahlada. At a very tender age, what a miserable life he had with his Asura father?
Compared to that, your problem must be very trivial.
Understand, our mind can create a hell or heaven on this Earth
God has blessed us with intelligence.
If we use it efficiently we can deal with any person skillfully.
If your words provoke her, be silent and smiling.
Think of all her good qualities and thank her for all the service she did so far in your mind. Discus only good things about her.
Slowly it will influence her attitude too.
You will be happy later that you were good to your mother in her last years.
HariOm!
