It must mean something when we have or develop the heartfelt respect for the elders in our lives. Elders in our lives must become the symbols of God if and when we develop love and devotion towards the God. What is the use of our sadhana of the divine if we fail to develop such love and devotion towards them? They must have an element of God if He is all pervading. If we accept this premise then we must express our Bhakti (love and devotion) towards our elders. Sadhak's view point is not the same as the view point of worldly person. We must realize that it is extraordinarily different. Bhavna is produced by the constant and permanent efforts and its practice by the sadhak. Sadhak must express the purpose of this bhavna concretely in real world and shape it while expressing it. Then only this expression of love and devotion will excel and shine. When that happens there is a possibility of seeing the spark of God residing within the hearts of all.
What it means is that the bhavna must get concentrated and mature in the sadhak first and then it is expressed and expanded outwards. This process should keep on going. Sadhak must be keenly aware of the fact that all this happenings is for the development of his sadhana and he should offer all the fruits to the divine. Only then it is possible to carry on this lively expression with wisdom and bhakti.
