Relationships

What do you feel about Indian weddings of late and their current event concepts? About hype creation on Instagram? The stress in jewellery, clothes, photoshoots and food. Does that engage the quality of your life and love, or only for social status and talk in society? πŸ€΅πŸΌπŸ‘°πŸΌπŸ’’πŸ’πŸ’Ž

They are not weddings but bride and bridegroom sale. I find them quite repulsive with all the show, hypocrisy, artificiality and attempt to impress others

Sir, I am in my early 40s now. I have been the Divine Mother’s devotee since I was a girl of 9-10 years old. Now I feel how lucky I am to get Her image & to walk inside the Ashram, she still walks or drinks the water that she is still drinking/touching despite the pain I’m stuck with for a long time, sir. πŸ₯²πŸŒ»πŸ’–βœ¨[…]

My deception, which I did for a good purpose (for saving integrity within the family), is revealed and I am bashed out like anything. I don’t complain here, but I realised whatever the purpose may be, a deception is a deception. The Mother helped me learn a great lesson here.

There are many difficulties in my house. No one is in a position to understand or explain anything. But my problem is that I am in the last year of my MA. Right now, or even for the next few years, I have no desire to get married, but no one seems to understand this. πŸ˜£πŸ“šπŸŒΉπŸ‘¨πŸ»β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘©πŸ»[…]

A simple thumb rule for our times is that one should not marry until one is psychologically ready and financially independent. One should at least

With respect to the Divine relations, a lot of friendships in my life have fallen away due to new values emerging in life. At the same time, a lot of family relationships have become deeper and truer, and they generate a sweetness in my life, especially with parents, siblings and elders with whom I had shared a good connection before (they all have their own connection to the Divine in their own way). πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ‘§πŸ»β€πŸ‘¦πŸ»πŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»πŸŒ»[…]

There is no set rule of things especially because sadhana moves largely in the inner being and it is the inner state, motives, attitudes that

Why is it that many parents, especially those in their 50s, often glorify their past struggles, like working long hours to earn an extra $200, 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? πŸ™„πŸŒ»πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ‘§πŸ»β€πŸ‘¦πŸ»

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
