Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Namah Shivaya Tom, This child is in agreement with what others have said here. You have been given some good advice. Whether it's Dayamrita Swami or anyone else, to repeatedly bash them on a public forum, in a satsang, to use the language you used, will only bring bad results - to you. In a moment of anger we don't care. Do exercise some restraint - if only for your own sake. I'm sorry you are going through a hard time. I've been just about where you are when I was a little younger than you are now - only I couldn't live in my parent's house. Many adults have found themselves without skills and have gone back to school or somehow gained some skills and have gone on to succeed. Saturn Dasha is very difficult. You must have a well placed Mercury, so things will get better. Hang in there. Know that Mother is with you, in your heart. Peace.
