I feel an immense weight on my heart because I realize that I’ve done everything wrong. I entered into a relationship with someone driven by my own desires for materialistic things and personal needs, to fulfill them, without truly considering his genuine feelings. My intentions weren’t pure, and the foundation of this relationship was flawed from the beginning. Now, I can’t help but feel that I’ve used him, and this guilt is consuming me 😥
First thing you need to understand is that nobody is responsible for anyone else. Besides things change, people evolve, relationships shift because nothing is static
In liking a person romantically, I often tell myself, “if it is meant to be, it will happen”. Or, “don’t force things, let them occur naturally and spontaneously”. But the irony is often that when you tell such things to yourself you get into an inactive state and the other person gets into a relationship during that time.

In The Mother’s Yoga, you said The Mother does the Yoga and not us. She is anyway doing the yoga all the time in us, but we are not aware and are not open. I take credit for things that are clearly done by Her in work and in me. I tend to remember to call Her during a crisis and forget during success periods. At the same time, I want to be confident about my skills and not to approach the work with fear. How to be confident in my work skills (computer ) while still being humble in front of Mother always and surrender with the opening🤔? Hope I am making sense.
The Mother is doing the Yoga. What is needed from our side is to collaborate. As a part of this collaboration, we put in effort
