Q - Samsaara

[Guest guest]

Dear Swamin,

 

A brief intro of adiyen:

 

Adiyen is blessed to have you as adiyen's acharyan. Adiyen took samasrayanam

from swami in 2001 when you visited Detroit. Adiyen finished my studies and

joined job in 2003. Adiyen also got married early 2004. Adiyen's wife was not a

vivid follower of vaishnavism but currently she is interested in learning and

following.

 

Adiyen have a question, please help clarify:

 

After marriage, my prayers and daily rituals have reduced considerably. This is

mainly because of the change from Brahmachari to Samsari. Adiyen feel a little

guilty when praying because of my involvement in samsara activities. Adiyen feel

like there is a gap created now between the Lord and adiyen. Is this the reason

why samsara/marriage is thought as an hurdle by sages? Please help adiyen to get

back to the Lord without any guilt.

 

Adiyen,

Sathyanarayana Ramanujadasan

ANS:

EVEN IF YOU ARE TOTALLY CONVINCED THAT SAMSA:RA IS A HURDLE, YOU CANNOT & SHOULD

NOT GIVE UP YOUR FAMILY. SO LEARN HOW TO MOULD IT TO CATER YOUR NEEDS OF

FEELING, SERVING LORD. IF YOU ARE A SERVANT OF GOD, MAKE YOUR WIFE IS A HELPER

TO YOU TO SERVE HIM BETTER. SHE HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU BY GOD ONLY. SO YOU

NEED NOT FEEL GUILTY NOW. AND THE CHILDREN YOU GET, IN FUTURE OF COURSE, WILL

AUTOMATICALLY BECOME HEIRS OF YOUR DIVINE WEALTH,

i.e., GOD.

 

ALL THAT YOU ARE DOING BECOMES HIS SERVICE ONLY, AS YOUR HOUSE IS HIS AND YOUR

JOB IS GIVEN TO YOU BY HIM THINKING THAT YOU CAN SERVE HIM WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM.

NOW, YOU NEED NOT REDUCE TIME FOR HIM. BUT KEEP PHYSICALLY SOME TIME ALSO FOR

HIM TO CONTINUE THIS THOUGHT ALL THROUGH THE DAY.

Try!!!!!
