Respected Yashdeep Ji, To err is human and parents are also human. Parents are not superhumans that they cannot go wrong. We still need to respect them as you know what parents do for their children by providing unconditional love. If there is a difference of opinion the situation should be resolved respectfully and in a polite manner.
Do differ with them but be respectful even while doing so
Yes, we need to respect our differences.
If we want to have respect, then we have to understand the Hukam of Akal Purkh so that we can become Sachyaar.
ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ Jap – 1
This law of nature applies to everyone both male and females.
We get respect depending upon how much Hukam we have understood and followed.
ਹੁਕਮੀ ਹੋਵਨਿ ਜੀਅ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥ Jap – 1
Before judging others or our elders we have to find whether we are right according to the system of Akal Purkh. Then we can try to find some appropriate way of convincing others. Better is to convey without hurting the dignity of others. Or we can try to take help of someone else who can convey in a better manner.
