मातापितृगुरुपूजा-प्रशंसा
Praise of Venerating Mother, Father, and Teacher
ब्रह्मलोकं गुरोरव॑त्त्या नियमेन तरिष्यसि । यदि तुम इन तीनोंकी सेवामें कोई भूल नहीं करोगे तो तीनों लोकोंको जीत लोगे। पिताकी सेवासे इस लोकको
brahmalokaṁ guror avatyā niyamena tariṣyasi |
Wika ni Bhishma: “Sa masusing pagsunod sa disiplina at tapat na paglilingkod sa guro, malalampasan mo maging ang Brahmaloka. Kung wala kang pagkukulang sa paglilingkod sa tatlong ito—ama, ina, at guru—para bang nasakop mo ang tatlong daigdig: sa paglilingkod sa ama, makakamtan mo ang tagumpay sa mundong ito; sa paglilingkod sa ina, makakamtan mo ang susunod na daigdig; at sa paglilingkod sa guru ayon sa tuntunin, malalampasan mo maging ang Brahmaloka.”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Unfailing service to father, mother, and guru—especially disciplined service to the guru—is presented as a complete dharmic path that yields success here, merit in the hereafter, and even transcendence of the highest heavenly attainments.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira on dharma, emphasizing the ethical hierarchy of obligations and the spiritual power of devoted service to one’s parents and teacher.
