Home ยป Relationships ยป I am 45 years old. My father passed away in 2021. When he was bedridden and unable to walk, my sister-in-law treated him very poorly. My brotherโs behavior was equally bad; he would visit like a ‘visiting doctor’ for just a few minutes and stay away so that my father wouldn’t even see him. Even when I told him that Father was calling for him, he refused to come.๐๐ค๏ธโ๏ธ
I completely understand your pain. As this is growing more common and since we cannot change people, the only workable solution is to have proper old age homes or community homes. It somehow also speaks of the poor values inculcated by your brother and sister-in-law. In such instances some other child should have stepped forward and taken care. Anyways what is done is done. One must learn the lessons and move forward.
Affectionately,
Alok Da

The dwarf triple bodied trinity are the three levels at which the present human mind operates. They are, in evolutionary sequence, the physical, vital and the mental mind or the mind proper.ย
The physical mind is heavily dependent upon the senses and the raw data they provide. It trusts only that which can be seen and measured. Then there is the vital mind that takes flights of imagination, thereby escaping from the ‘sensory reality’ in search of that which is hidden. It is the mind that fantasises, and in the process, might hit…
This is because the vital is unsteady. Practice equanimity, apply reason to control the vital from jumping from one thing to another, above all, call Peace and Calm to fix this not so uncommon difficulty.
Sit quietly everyday, preferably at a fixed time and remember The Mother in your heart. The exact spot is not important. Concentrate in the centre of the chest on The Mother’s Presence with the help of Her Name. Do it for 20 to 30 minutes in the morning and in the evening.ย ..
