Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 namaste I want to post a qn regarding the change is my lifestyle which has been gradual but suddenly evoliving more. To start with like most folks I was this adolescent kid with all innane tendencies for that age. When i started working , my interest was mostly material like " i want to own a house " or " buy a new car " of " buy that watch " " buy this/buy that " etc. lately i am feeling more devotion to divine and spend or like to spend most of my time in solitude contemplating on different gods/scriptures/mantras/names of deities(sahasranama) etc etc to the poin that i feel i am unable to connect with most people as i find them " too materialistic " those same " wants " which i had seems so disinteresting as i feel eternal happiness is only in these " satsangs " and my " time with divine " . i feel i have not many things common with majority of folks as they seem to talk around the " materialistic benefits " and i yearn for humanity to think different !!!!!. Is this situation i am facing normal? why sudddenly i am feeling frustration with all " things " in world and " people " and want to spend my time in " divine " . Simply put, i sometimes feel like i can't relate to this world and instead i need to run away to some ashram and use all my activities in " prayer/puja/chanting " etc. I do have my parents to take care of(i am single though) but the thought of " getting married " " having family " etc does not interest me as i feel they are " distractions " to my sadhana I am happy for this change at same time a little worried whether this change is for food or is this happening to convey something. I would be happy if shree maa or swami can respond to my query. Jai MAA Amrish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Dear Sandy, Namaste! Thanks for the reply. At least I am not alone in this aplogise for the " typos " during compilation of the message . I was compiling the message after reciting lalitha trisati stotram and as it is i was undergoing lot of emotional vibrations in my body as i wrote the message. I guess it's mothers play to make me even write the mail . I am so happy for this forum as we have enlightened souls like Shree MAA and Swamiji who are more than willing to help us and lead us along the way and all we need is trust and faith and rest will be done according to Divine mother's will.Added to that, there are like minded people who help each other out and have willing to explore this journey together. Hail MAA !!! she knows everything as she is omniscient.
