In short
- Do not fight your family over devotion.
- Devotion that creates conflict at home has misunderstood itself.
- Chant quietly and serve them better than before.
- Let the change in your behaviour make the case.
Do not fight them
Devotion that creates conflict at home has misunderstood itself.
Argument hardens people; conduct does not. If your practice is making you harder to live with, something has gone wrong with the practice, not with them.
Serve them better than before
Chant quietly, without making it a demonstration. Serve your parents better than you did before. Over time, the change in how you behave is the only argument that persuades.
Do not leave home for it
He left home at thirteen himself, and he is firm that this is not a path he wants others to copy. Householders should stay householders; family and duty are where the practice is tested.
Where this comes from
Everything on this page is drawn from what this site records of his public satsang on the questions page and the teachings page. It summarises his position; it does not quote him word for word.
This is a fan website, not the official site of Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj. The article summarises what he teaches in public satsang; it does not quote him. If something here is wrong, tell us and it is corrected the same week.
