however, Swamiji taught us that our Dharma is our wordly/family life in this

encarnation

 

was He actually telling us to unite the two?

to apply Dharma to this wordly life, because, in fact what else is there,

here and now?!

 

I bristle at the phrase ... wordliness is unrighteousness .....

yours in dharma,

Janaki
