Personal
problems, family problems, don’t seem to belong to the spiritual
field. But they do. Because what is the good of you, of me, teaching
you to do meditation and to become a Saint while your life is
in misery, your husband is in trouble and lonely, and your children
are feeling unhappy because of a split family? And I already want
to bring Heaven to you now, not hell. Therefore, everything you
can use of this world to make your life better, to beautify your
surroundings, and to solidify, to consolidate your marriage, then
please use it, and do not be bound by it, but just use it. From
“Each Soul Makes Its Own Choices”
God is not
so narrow-minded as to forbid us to love our husband or wife the
way we used to. God is not so cruel as to separate loving couples
in order to attain Hirm. We must enlarge our hearts to love God
and also to include other beings, including our own family members.
If we can love other beings who are distant from us and strangers
to us, why can we not love our family members, our immediate loved
ones? From
“Each Soul Makes Its Own Choices”
You have
families, but you dedicate yourself and your whole family to the
care of God. You are the caretaker of this family for God’s sake;
that’s also renunciation. It’s more difficult to renounce that
way than to shave your hair and hide yourself in the temple. If
you can do that, you are true saints. From
