AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My parents and relatives are telling me to go abroad and do a course as they think I am too attached to my home and city. My only reason for not going is that I don’t want to leave home. Please Advise.

But you should go. If you go you will grow wide. To understand things, you need to go around the world and see. This will give you a deeper understanding of how the world works and will free you from circumstance of birth. To be by ourselves after a certain age helps in shaping our individuality. 

Affectionately,

Alok da.
