AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

I have met a person 4 years back and he was a complete stranger to me But it felt like I had already know him, his face is known to me he often comes to my work place but we never talked only eye contact and than I left that place later that year and moved to another place but I was not happy, I might have missed him and suddenly I got his request on insta and we started chatting, he also felt the same . I knew that he drank but still I fell in love with him. Everything was going right, after a year we met at a mall for 30 mins, again we started talking we never had fights for 1.5 years but relation was on and off, he was not serious but after that he proposed me for marriage and than our fights started because I wanted him to quit his drinking habits and he assured me he will if we get married but slowly our fights increased and he abused me verbally on call😪,

Then again we started talking, he realised his mistake and again we convinced our family for engagement and got engaged last year, he also trying to give up his drinking habit but I don’t know what happened and the fights increased and one day I broke that engagement but now I am feeling that I made, a mistake as I love him. I know that he loves me, he tattooed my name on his wrist and I should be with him and take care of him so that he would give up his drinking habit and we will be happy . I don’t know what to do? And now I can’t love anyone else😪.

It is better to be safe than sorry later on. What you experienced is not love but some kind of vital affinity leading to a mutual attraction. It is not at all a sufficiently strong basis for a lasting relationship. Such affinities makes the vital in us move towards each other but as one gets closer the ego begins to rub badly and the relationship breaks down.  In any case alcohol is a wrong starter and one who is showing even early signs of addiction is moving towards ruin. To believe your love can change him is too idealistic but very unlikely to work.

Follow up question: Should i remain in contact with him or not I  want to know if he is trying to give up his drinking habbit

Ans: It is best to come out of this relationship even if stepping out is bit painful.  Alcoholism tendency (not social drinking which is occasional in a social gathering) generally indicates serious personality flaws such as emotional instability,  dependency and obsessive traits etc and generally chances of improvement is poor, often a long drawn battle that is very taxing and exacting. Helping someone with an alcohol problem as a friend is one thing whereas decision to take a lifelong burden is quite another. So even if he promises to give up and even shows signs of giving up, wisdom suggests that you should not enter into a long term committed relationship.  It is not your responsibility to ensure he quits alcohol, in fact those who quit do not need someone else as an excuse to quit. Best to cut off the contact and move forward.

Follow up question: I agree with you i will try my best not to male any contact with him , but in my whole life i have lived only one person and its him and there are. a lot pressure from my family to marry as age is  late 20 ā€˜s and I  right now i cant see anyone in his place or may be I don’t want to see anyone else.

Ans: Late 20’s is not so late. Love is one thing and marriage is quite another. It is not unusual that love passes away after sometime from the human heart.  It is not because there is anything wrong in love. It is a beautiful thing for love to happen and even more beautiful for love to live forever.  Such indeed should be the ideal but humanity is not yet fully equipped to live this ideal. 
One way is to take a break for 6 months as staying near him will only drag you more and more into confusion.  Marriage should never be entered into with a hesitating mind because unlike job and other decisions this is not easily reversible.  Think 10 times before embarking on this venture where the first signs are not so promising. Whether you find someone else or not (though I am sure that will not be the case) is speculation but here you can almost see not a happy future. Perhaps it is the Grace showing you in a timely way before the damage takes place.

Being a bad friend: I see a certain insensitivity in me to other people. I lack empathy in some situations, and it makes me feel very bad about myself. I have lost friends in the past because of this. While I generally try to help people, there is something in me unsympathetic towards others. Because of this tendency, I feel myself incapable towards building lasting friendships. I have cried about it, and at this point I don’t even feel like having friends anymore because I’m conscious of this defect in my nature, so I don’t want to repeat the same cycle again and experience the same moral pain that I feel. For now, I can only observe it and feel bad about it. How to change it I have no idea🫤.

This is not such a big defect and in certain ways it is not necessarily a defect. It is possibly because you make your own choices and have your own mind, a kind of individuality that can sometimes become a barrier in opening to …

I often experience a Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) when I’m not active on social media platforms like Instagram or when I think about deleting my accounts. It’s about missing out on what’s happening in other people’s lives, falling behind on the latest trends, conversations, or even useful content related to my interests like painting, health, and more. What if I feel disconnected without being on these platforms? Also, Why do these feelings arise, and how can I manage them in a healthier way without relying on social media for a sense of belonging or staying informed😄?

These feelings arise from the collective suggestions that are floating around. The more one externalises through these means such as the social media provides, the more we get caught up in this whirlpool of suggestions. It is …

Last night, I read a page of ‘Savitri’ before going to sleep. Whenever I read something from ‘Savitri,’ it feels like something is descending within me. It’s like a kind of intoxication that comes with peace. Around 4 AM, I heard a voice within me saying, ‘I am The Mother, I am within everyone, and it is I who is doing everything.’ Are these just my thoughts that are coming to me? Besides this, it has happened two or three times that the name ‘Radha’ starts within me at night. Could there be some deep truth to all this🤨?

Thoughts are not formed by the individual brain or mind but received from several cosmic agencies. The reading of Savitri opened the doors of your mind to the higher truths not ordinarily accessible to the …
