The road to the Divine is not easy. Various forms of challenges come from within as well as from the people around us. As such life is not easy especially especially for those marked by destiny for progress and inner evolution. Spiritual life brings additional challenges that can be taken as tests for our readiness and as the price one must pay for the leap. One has to endure the passage with faith, endurance and a growing aspiration and surrender.
As to parents you cannot do much except trying to explain them. Nobody is the cause of anybody’s suffering so blaming oneself is not right. As long as one is doing what your deeper heart feels as the true and right thing to do, you must do it. Yes people may not, rather will not understand but then you can’t change their understanding nor is it wise to change the course of life dictated by your inner being just to satisfy others. Follow your truth seeking support from the Divine Mother for everything and keep walking the way regardless of all else.
Affectionately,
