AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What to do in a situation where the person accompanying you is constantly demeaning and insulting your culture (Regional, Indian and Sanatana Dharma) and your belief system, insulting the sanatana dharma. It is difficult to stay quiet, but yet you know that even my words can’t appeal to the person’s preconceived notion. yet you give it a try, but as anticipated, in vain. And within yourself you feel drained in that atmosphere of clashes of opinions😪

It is best to keep an arms distance from such a person as, besides other things, it means that the person is too self-opinionated and arrogant and has no respect for you. Such people are best left alone. They are not worth wasting your energy upon. 

One should stay away from them, cut or detach oneself inwardly and leave them to their fate.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
