Should I proceed uncompromisingly with this inner shift, or pragmatically adapt my expressed behavior to protect their emotional security? If behavioral adaptation is the better path, what key principles should guide this balance?
You have expressed your situation very clearly. You should go ahead along the lines you have indicated. You can try explaining to them your inner resolve. If they understand you, well and good. In fact, if there is true love, they will understand and will be willing to respect the path you have chosen. Leave the rest to the Divine Mother, who knows every heart and takes care of everyone in their own way.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
