AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How should I deal with someone who repeatedly asks for my advice, insists on it even when I say no but then always ignores it and does the opposite of what I suggest🤨? [conti]

How should I deal with someone who repeatedly asks for my advice, insists on it even when I say no but then always ignores it and does the opposite of what I suggest? They waste my time, energy, and effort and when I confront them they act as if nothing happened and simply say, ‘Listen to everyone but do what you feel right from inside.’ How should I behave with such a person/friend?

Best not to give advice or rather to advise that the person should consult his own deepest heart in a state of inner quietude and find the answers there. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
