This is nothing else but emotional blackmail and one should not concede to any such unreasonable demands that besides, is extremely selfish at its core.

In today’s time most of the things we can’t tell to our parents and closed one is it okay to hide the things or tell lie just to keep peace and harmony because you know they won’t understand or shall we just say the things as it is irrespective of whatever be the consequence is🤔?

One should tell the truth only to the Divine who knows us just as we are, who never judges and condemns but fully understands. But

I was once remembering the love I had felt for someone which did not lead to marriage because my father was against it and asked God that it was the most beautiful thing in my life why he had taken it away from me. Instantly i sensed a white light. But what was God trying to communicate to me at that time? Did that mean that he had other plans for me or something else😐?

White light means Divine Wisdom and Compassion indicating that whatever happened was best for you even though you could not understand it at that moment.

Is our purpose in life merely to please our parents by doing whatever they ask? When we don’t meet their expectations, they often say, “You have made us unhappy,” or “Because of you, we are suffering.” They emphasize ideas like, “You must keep your parents happy, you will never find happiness if you make them unhappy,” and regard parents as equivalent to gods. Even for someone who is not pursuing a spiritual life, is it necessary to always prioritize pleasing parents? When they don’t understand your path, your goal and say things like these, what should one do?

If the purpose of life was to please parents, elders or anyone else then the Gita would be meaningless. The purpose of life is not

Is sex an essential part of a relationship? What happens when one partner feels a natural desire for physical intimacy, while the other is either not interested or doesn’t feel the same way? How should someone navigate this difference without compromising the emotional bond they share? Is it possible to maintain a fulfilling relationship when such a fundamental aspect of connection is missing or mismatched🤔?

Sex has little if anything to do with love. What love needs for its integral fulfilment is physical intimacy but that need not mean sex.

When two people love each other – what does it mean when it is said that they never leave each other ? I know that they always remain in each other’s hearts but what does it mean that they are always together no matter outer circumstances? Does thinking about the person keep the two close too💖?

April 21, 2025

We are always close to people whom we love from the depths even if they be physically far from us. So too we may be

You have beautifully answered on the question asked on The marriage like keeping God in the centre, meeting with life challenges with power of love, supporting each other and serving the divine purpose but these things which you said seems out of our scope. We lack surity, conviction and unclear about our goals. If we don’t have such beautiful ideals so is it wiser to avoid Marriage😐? Please guide.

April 20, 2025

They are not out of our scope. What is lacking is faith and courage, faith that nothing is impossible once something in us glimpses it

What is ones duty when some elder in place of parent continues to harass you😠 and put you down all the time and manipulates?

Is standing for one self with self respect against this elder person and stopping this happen is against dharma. If some one who’s supposed to

Why is it that many parents, especially those in their 50s, often glorify their past struggles, like working long hours just to earn dollars two hundred more, and keep reminding their children of the sacrifices they made to raise them? Why can’t they allow their children to recognize it naturally, instead of constantly seeking acknowledgment or credit and glorifying their struggles

Bringing up a child can be a very challenging task and sometimes it does require quite a bit of sacrifice. But the child has not

Genuine love? That’s a rarety and a wonder. But even granted that it is there, confusions can always arise since human nature at large is

In one of your answers on marriage you said ” The essence of marriage is to keep God in the Centre while two people walk together hand in hand” what it mean to keep “God in the centre”🤨?

If your parents have not been responsible and taken care of you properly in your child hood why do they have so many useless expectations from their children when they grow up? And how to deal with this😠? Like they are still not there when you need them as their priorities are different even today, can you explain this from dharma point of view as well?

April 16, 2025

Dharma is about our individual conduct regardless of what others do or do not do. One thing is obvious that parents (as well as others)

My mother was and is still is biased towards my elder brother🫤. I do understand she is just a child of an environment that has been biased towards male child. Today I do understand it and to an extent dont hold her responsible, but still the lifelong hurt is there. But this question is more about her than me, has she created Karma? Can she resolve it in this lifetime? But for that I have to tell her that I have been hurt.

April 16, 2025

She has created karma by attachment and its inevitable result is suffering regardless of the nature of attachment. It is not good to judge people

I often feel pressured to get married, buy a house, a car, and follow all the typical expectations society sets. Even though deep down I’m not someone who genuinely wants marriage, I still get influenced when I see others tying the knot, having children, and making good money. It sometimes makes me question my own choices 😥and the direction of my life. They seem to be living happy, fulfilling lives and that sometimes leaves me wondering if I’m missing out.

April 13, 2025

First thing needed is be clear about the goal of one’s life. Whether marraige can give happiness or not is a later consideration. First thing

How to deal with people with whom you are connected in your daily life, you cannot avoid them but they are completely dilution and self centered and they can go on and on as how good they are, how superior they are than others and blah blah now how to react and they expect you to indulge in a conversation and one has nothing more to add? Sometimes I am shocked as I wonder are they even listening to what they are saying🙄? These type of new people I just don’t indulge more I keep any relations but what to do with the ones whom The Mother has put around you?

I fully understand and have gone through this phase in the beginning of the Yoga. Used to switch off inwardly, directing the consciousness to concentration

When two people who were once in love decide to part ways, what’s the right way to behave afterwards? Is it fair for one person to react impulsively, by blocking, avoiding, and acting like nothing ever existed between them, just because the relationship didn’t work out😢?

April 6, 2025

Such an outward behavior (blocking, acting like nothing existed) shows that perhaps there never was love from the person who is doing so. The person
