You’re saying I should find time for the same in the midst of attending to my familial duties when I’m married. Am I right? If I’m correct, wouldn’t being married take my time and attention away from Sadhana? Wouldn’t Sadhana be less intense then?
Yes, that is what I meant about the complications that married life brings. However, it is also a good preparation, as it opens the heart’s doors to human love and finer emotions such as tender affection, teaches us the spirit of sacrifice. People who have not gone through the marriage experience often tend to become somewhat self-centred and lacking in empathy. Ultimately, what matters is the inner attitude.
It is, however, always better to share with the would-be partner your deeper goals and spiritual bent so that she is not taken by surprise at your leanings and inclinations, especially the path and the way of life you have chosen.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
