As per my understanding, keep dealing with all, do hard work to perform responsibilities being a married man towards the family and the society but never follow those who become hindrance in your journey. Keep struggling to go above pleasing each other business, stop acknowledging those thoughts that stop you progressing on your path. I encountered a humble and spiritually advanced person. People came and praised him, he responded “ Use all this praise for the Lord, you would be better off, you are praising the dust of the Lord and forgetting the Lord, please praise Him, it will put smiles on my face” If you notice, even in wishing others, the Lord is kept dominant” Sat Sree Akaal, Waheguru ji ki fateh etc” It is an effort to focus on Him. There is no abandonment of the family in this journey but to keep focusing on your <u>pursuit with high priority</u>. For whom we fall will not be helpful in our pursuit. Spiritually enlightened ones say “ the soul eventually finds its goal as it harbors nothing but Him within, at that point no effort is needed, and all actions come out of focus on Him and the state of mind goes to this level described by Guru ji</span></strong></p><p> <strong><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolUniPr'"><a

[QUOTE="pk70, post: 92033, member: 5889"] [B]Namjap ji[/B] [B]Personally only those people ask such questions who have very strong desire to pursue the Lord but are torn apart with the both, the Lord and the world.

As per my understanding, keep dealing with all, do hard work to perform responsibilities being a married man towards the family and the society but never follow those who become hindrance in your journey. Keep struggling to go above pleasing each other business, stop acknowledging those thoughts that stop you progressing on your path. I encountered a humble and spiritually advanced person. People came and praised him, he responded “ Use all this praise for the Lord, you would be better off, you are praising the dust of the Lord and forgetting the Lord, please praise Him, it will put smiles on my face” If you notice, even in wishing others, the Lord is kept dominant” Sat Sree Akaal, Waheguru ji ki fateh etc” It is an effort to focus on Him. There is no abandonment of the family in this journey but to keep focusing on your [U]pursuit with high priority[/U]. For whom we fall will not be helpful in our pursuit.
