Home » Life Problems And Psychological Difficulties » My husband comes from a very orthodox family, and to be honest, he often humiliates me for not pronouncing Sanskrit shlokas correctly. He teases me, saying that I am not from a Brahmin family. I’m in an environment where respect seems to be granted only when I earn. Although I didn’t leave my job intentionally, I was laid off. How should I respond or pray in these circumstances😥? I’ve been communicating with the Mother about this regularly, but I haven’t seen any results.

You should know that those who are truly wise and developed are humble. Whereas those who are proud are merely vain. So you needn’t attach much importance to what your husband thinks of you. What should matter for a spiritual aspirant is closeness to the Divine and for that, aspiration, faith, sincerity, surrender matter rather than the knowledge of Sanskrit and the Scriptures. The Ramayana and the Mahabharata are testimony to this truth as is evidenced in the life of all who realised the Divine.

Affectionately,

Thank you so much for your beautiful and profound response explaining the difference between liberation (Mukti) and higher spiritual states. Your spiritual insight is truly wonderful.

It will depend upon the mantra as well as the wish, desire or aspiration, as it may be, in the heart of the sadhak. There are mantras that do grant material happiness as well as wisdom. So it is perfectly possible to get these benefits through specific mantras. At the …

Respected Alok da, when you realised Maa is everything and in everything. Then, if you go for Puja Rituals like Brata-Upabasha according to Hindu Dharma (you see Mother in every Gods), then is that insincerity to Maa? Should I do it or not? 🙄🙏🏻👨🏻‍👩🏻‍👧🏻‍👦🏻🛕🌸

As far as I am concerned everything else dropped naturally, effortlessly. I was anyways not much into rituals and knew that many of these things are aadambar and have little to do with Hindu Dharma. Neither the Gita nor the…
