I had tears in my eyes when I read letter from (family does not approve). I felt sad that in the time/s that we live in, the emotional self is seconded to a mental retardation, degraded rather than supported for their moralistic and spritual stand. I salute you for your steadfast believe in your true self. Sometimes family/friends mock us instead of guiding us into spritual satisfaction. This are just walls blocking us from gaining spritual satisfaction. On this journey one will come across many barriers, some larger than others, but my Guru our Guru Waheguru will be the guiding light that will push us pull us carry us and give their shoulder when ever it is needed. Bless you my friend for you have shown me the light.
