During a contemplation, I wrote the following in my diary. I would be grateful for your illuminating comments: โ€œDo not take the ‘mood/state’ of the outer ‘facade’ as the present spiritual condition; it is a false construct. The real ‘entity’ is behind the ‘facade’ and is untouched.โ€ I wrote this from what I felt at the time. Could this โ€œentityโ€ be the inner being? ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Namaste Sir. If, in a relationship like marriage, there is no mutual respect for each other, what should be its fate? Marriage seems like a compromise, a cage, a dependency for the child’s future. I always pray to Mother for helping me to overcome such dependency. When bitterness overrides love, life searches only for escape. ๐Ÿค๐ŸŒท
