One moment in the company of a saint..So lovely to hear about these … so lucky to have easy access to such places as well . Beautiful rose analogy :)

    Swami, here's a situation, my mother passed away 14 days ago unexpectedly leaving myself and my younger sister who is borderline intellectually challenged. Since a year I have been on path of spirituality, and has made me aware of many things. However, my sister has been conditioned by us over her life in our intention that she may be able to be independent per say. Now after our mother's passing n since my awareness observation, its been difficult for me to be in the silence path n my sister needs constant engagement (ego related), what may be your guidance on this situation?

    • @swamichidananda108
      @swamichidananda108 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Each situation in life is very dynamic and never black and white, the answer for you might be different than the answer for another individual. Would ask myself what would an humble person do in this situation ? and secondly i would do the daily spiritual practices, through the stillness, the answer can reveal itself to you internally.

    • @homehome7607
      @homehome7607 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A humble person would be compassionate to my sister and thy self, i realise that this situation is just another phase in life that is not to be worried much yet accept the pain as it is, as its not me in deeper sense. Do my duties to my best ability and rest leave it to the devine.

    Thank you swami. I feel exactly like grace manifest in every little moment. Today i was feeling sad while shopping food at the supermarket because almost 90% of what they sell is prohibited for my diet. While waiting my turn at the cashier, i was trying to resonate thinking « lots of people would be super happy with all this you are buying ». Then i paid my basket and the cashier said « with this purchase, you won a gift » and the cashier hand me a beautiful backpack. I immediately recognise the presence of God, and start crying knowing that he is always there and will care for us and help us to stay on the path.❤

    Exactly. I’m so happy I don’t have a living guru cause I would have used a guru as a crutch to leave the world and renounce my life for the divine. Here with worldly responsibilities there is a chance to infuse every little thing with godliness and see the divine pattern .this is true service true love - just like hanuman doing his duty serving ram s human incarnation as he has put thru difficult worldly troubles of losing his wife.Thank you for this swamiji everything you do has so much heart.

      A true Guru would not allow you to do it, if it is not meant for you :) They would encourage you to embrace the dharma that you have been born to do. One should strive to find a living teacher in this life, it is always the best opportunity to realize who you are ❤
