UNIVERSAL MYTHS MISTAKEN AS UNIVERSAL REALITIES (3rd Myth "Obedience to Parents is Obligatory ") BY GHULAM AHMED PARWEZ

Myth 3: Obedience to parents is obligatory

All religions have pronounced the myth of subordination to parents as divine instruction. All societies regard it as a higher value to be preserved. In Hindu mythology, Rama was elevated to be an {Maar (apostle) of Ishwer (God) solely because he readily obeyed his father. The young wife had asked the older husband to give her his word to do whatever she would ask. When he had, she demanded that her own son, instead of Rama, be declared heir to the throne. Despite the fact that both the father and the son knew the absurdity of the demand, they both carried it out. Rama, because he had obeyed his father, became not only an apostle but also an incarnation of God Himself.
