I am not sure about China and Japan of today. There is a general decline in culture everywhere and it is not without its purpose.
I saw a quote from Paramahansa Yogananda ji, where he said that God yearns for our love because that is the only thing that is not readily available for him. While I respect his words, I feel a bit confused because I have also heard that the Divine wants nothing (Bhagavad Gita). What is the truth behind this?๐น๐๐

I wanted to seek your guidance regarding something that has been confusing me inwardly. My confusion is: in this situation, what should be my right attitude?

Alok Da, I have been involved with a married man who has a child. For three years, he has promised to leave his wife, but it has become clear that he has no intention of doing so.
