Life Problems And Psychological Difficulties

One of my friends and his family have been going through a very tough life for almost 20+ years. It does make me feel sad, but I ask the Divine Grace to be upon that family and let His will be done.

Sir, I have a question: Whenever I see someone in pain, I help them, believing that perhaps God wants to help them through me. And since my financial situation is not very good, I mostly help them through my own physical effort. Sir, should I not perform this work with this attitude?

I am sorry to say this, but in general, your generation is the most confused gen. It was the first gen where, in general, the majority of middle-class families got their first college grads. In doing so, they left home for studies in urban areas and did services in a modern environment. πŸ‘¨πŸΌβ€πŸ¦³πŸ§”πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ‘§πŸ»β€πŸ‘¦πŸ»πŸ‘πŸŒ·[…]

But why should these things happen to someone who doesn’t even have any Spiritual inclination? He was only visiting to understand my emotional connection to Pondicherry and the Ashram. More than that, he had an academic interest in philosophy, nothing else.Β This isn’t a common occurrence, is it?Β πŸ€”β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸŒ»πŸƒ
