AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

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”🤨?

It means to keep the Aspiration for higher things like an Ideal to guide us together, supporting each other’s journey towards the Light and Truth of which the Ideal is a faint distorted reflection. But most couple simply plan together a selfish life centred around family and accumulating comfort, pleasures and luxury. Thus life becomes hollow, devoid of meaning and any higher purpose. The result is restlessness, anxiety, quarrel, anger, frustration, depression or else, to escape from it, parties and fun and trips outside to apparently give a brief respite to man’s troubled days, or else, settle down into a mechanical routine of life centred around little things.

Affectionately,
