🙏 Also, Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, "Those people who see themselves as non-separate from Me, recognising Me, gain Me. For those who are always one with Me, I take care of what they want to acquire and protect." (Chapter 9, Verse 22). Keep up your jnana yoga and don't worry too much. Krishna's got you covered.

You helped me to clear many things and to make my life smooth around family members about my practice of total silence and solitude, past 9 years after my retirement at 72. American attitude calls me lonely, isolated, and anti-social! BUT I am in a blissful and contented state all the time. Thank you.

Dear Swamiji, Thank you for your insightful answer on how to respond to critics of one's spiritual practice. I find your advice to be very helpful, especially your emphasis on the importance of responding with politeness and respect, even when others are not respectful of you. ( the same consciousness resides in them too 😇) I particularly resonate with your point about the need to avoid causing harm or injury by our actions or speech. (Follow the path of least harm) This is the core principle of Dharma, and it is something that we should all strive to uphold at all times, regardless of the situation. I also completely agree with your advice to avoid trying to enlighten others about spiritual matters, especially when they are not open to it. I have experienced it to be counterproductive and even damaged few relationships altogether. Everyone is on their own spiritual journey and the spiritual practice should be logical and convince oneself first and synchronised with their thoughts and beliefs. What works for one person may not work for another. So, it is important to be respectful of other people's beliefs and practices, even if we do not agree with them. I understand that we should be patient with ourselves and others. As spiritual growth is a lifelong process, it takes time and effort and we should not get discouraged if we do not see immediate results and also we should not be discouraged by others... The most important thing is to find and follow the spiritual practice that kindles our life's passion and that helps to connect with inner self. Thank you again for your valuable advice. Feeling blessed to have encountered you in my spiritual journey 😇

Answer to first question. Just smile, and try to understand her point of view, understand why she reject them, deny them. Best you can do is reply to them compassion. How you respond and react towards her action is important. Lead and show her that spirituality is not what she believes to be. Actions from your practice should be calm, comforting, understanding, not to respond with anger, arguments, debates. Spirituality do not need to be explain. If she deny your practice, then thats okay, we turn to such belief to give us space to keep us focus in life. Life in most society are very stressful, because they expect you to focus on financial gain, focusing on getting a good job. Practicing spirituality, keeps us align and balance in order for us to decide whats best in life among society and their needs from you.

To our friend whose wife disapproves, I'd like to offer some advice: There are many aspects of the spiritual path that also fit well in secular parts of the world. My path is Jnana, so it may be a bit different for you if you're more Bhakti oriented. That said, empathy, patience, service, introspection/reflection, healthy living, respect, breathing and meditation, and philosophical discussions about social ethics can involve people of all walks of life. Perhaps start by addressing your wife's concerns, looking for the areas where you can come together, and move forward from there? She clearly doesn't hate religious people if she married you (assuming you didn't hide it from her or drastically change after marriage). So, she's likely acting in defense of your child. What is she worried about? How can you help to ease her worries without insisting that she see things your way? Good luck! I hope it works out for all three of you.

Your comment that one’s spiritual journey is for one’s Self and not others cannot be overemphasized. Others’ negativity on this issue is an opportunity to outgrow your own ego. Best wishes to Balaji. Om Shanti 🙏🏼

The worst thing that can happen is , a partner belittling one’s spiritual or religious practices. But the spiritual LIGHT that one truly emanates, negates all bad vibes . I would say, DON’T try to change them, don’t try to influence your child OVER her petty behaviour. Just our sincere belief in God will enlighten our children sooner or later. There is absolutely no doubt about it. No small minded petty person can hold a candle against the LIGHT of TRUE WISDOM which is so powerful and all encompassing. The fear of the child’s future should be banished from our thoughts and our sincere spiritual practices will make a much stronger impact than petty words and hate.

Religion and spirituality and religious rituals are created by human beings in order to bring some order or structure in society that is people in general so that they don’t behave like animals and harm each other whenever wherever they want to .so God is created Whois said He is omnipotent and omnipresent watching you and your deeds in life.period.

"You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of GOD" (Matthew 22) if you think that time CAN be wasted. That's how I would respond to such critics, who would then investigate no further to discover the deep meaning of my statement. Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies.

Dharma is a multifaceted concept with profound significance in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. It encompasses a wide range of meanings, including: **Universal Law and Order:** Dharma represents the underlying order and harmony that governs the universe and all of creation. It is the principle that maintains balance and prevents chaos. **Righteous Conduct:** Dharma dictates ethical and moral principles that guide individuals in their actions. It emphasizes compassion, truthfulness, non-violence, and other virtues that promote harmonious relationships and personal fulfillment. **Divine Law:** In certain contexts, Dharma is understood as the divine law or command, as revealed through sacred scriptures or spiritual teachings. It serves as a guide for living a meaningful and virtuous life. **Personal Duty:** Each individual has a unique dharma, shaped by their stage in life, social role, and personal inclinations. Dharma guides individuals in fulfilling their responsibilities and contributing positively to society. **Cosmic Truth:** Ultimately, Dharma is seen as the ultimate truth, the essence of reality that transcends the physical world. It is the source of all knowledge, wisdom, and liberation from suffering. In summary, Dharma is a multifaceted concept that encompasses the ethical principles, moral laws, and divine guidance that govern individuals, society, and the universe. It is a central tenet of Indian religions, providing a framework for living a meaningful, harmonious, and spiritually fulfilling life.
