ย I have a request that kindly dispel one very common misconception, very very widespread even amongst saints and spritual people. As far as I understand only enlightened beings, sages, masters or may be one who is highly evolved can be nishkaam. Those who are so unconscious and full of darkness, just by producing kids how come they become so great …I have personaly experienced too much resistance to my spritual inclination by my mother and I see parents playing havoc with the lives of daughter in laws.โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿง˜

I understand your point completely. Not sure about the saints who say that one should completely subordinate oneself to parents, family, etc. If they say

Namaste. I want to get clarity about the location of these places referred to in the poem URVASIE. Though I thought that poetic symbolism need not have a geographical accuracy in it, I found some suggestions in the poem which help to locate these cities along the course of the river Ganges.ย 1.Budrichayshwur โ€” is it Badrinath?

I’m in cancer treatment and it looks quite good. But I have to deal with a medical system here in Switzerland that on one hand is very excellent but on the other is often working with “worst case” scenarios causing fear and anxiety in me. (Sometimes I ask myself whether the hostile forces can also use doctors…) Anyway, I often feel the obligation to decide something, whether to follow the doctor’s advice or go my own way. This is very difficult. How can one know whether a decision is right?๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐Ÿฉบโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿ’Š
