Question for Group - Spiritual practices and family TO JEFFREY

[Guest guest]

Namaste Jeffreyji:

 

It sounds as if you are following your heart perfectly.

 

Many must choose to let go completely what they have received in the

past from Spiritual teachers while others can easily realize that it

is not necessary to choose.

 

Perhaps its karma. Perhaps as a person moves higher in consciousness,

a new teacher may be more appropriate.

 

It appears from your post that you have a very deep understanding and

your heart is indeed very conected to Blessed Shree Maa.

 

 

Take Care.
