In this discourse Om Swami answers two questions.
The first question asked was - how much is one’s duty towards family and society and if one wishes to pursue their own path then how much time is reasonable to spend on it. Why it's important to make time for yourself.
Om Swami says that the answer may vary and will be different for different people but at one point when most obligations have been dealt with then one must have the courage to stand up for themselves and say and do what gives them joy and makes them happy. it is better to be very clear about what one needs to do and to express it to their loved ones. If under the burden of duty one does not take some time to do what they would like to then they will end up very miserable in their lives. He says, that it’s a beautiful life and it should be lived sensibly, mindfully and fully without regrets and fear.
The second question was that in deep meditative states when one gets into certain states, then how does one not get attached to those states but make progress and get the most out of it and move on.
Om Swami says that whenever a person gets into certain states during meditation they can build their practice more. They can enjoy the experience when it happens without getting attached to it and not wishing to have the same experience again and again but to be focused on the practice. He says that to build and deepen the practice it’s good to alternate between the different kinds of meditation and to progress on the path an increase in the duration of meditation helps. Sometimes to take a break from meditation helps too as it rejuvenates a person and they are better focused when they do it again. Om Swami says that when something needs to be perfected then the best way is to do it repeatedly and keep making improvements. But to get to the next level one cannot be doing the same thing but the mind and body has to be taken to the next level of challenge.

🌹 💐ॐ स्वामी नमो नम: 💐🌹
🙏 जय गुरुदेव 🙏
सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामया।
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चित् दुःखभाग् भवेत्।।

Thank you 🙏🏻, Swamiji. The first part was so reassuring. I retired 20 years back, moved partly to my family’s Guruji’s ashram in the mountains, and partly to my brother’s house in the same area. No questions were asked and no demands were made by a totally supportive family, and no expectations or entitlements from me. It’s been a wonderful journey, without regret. At 80 today, enjoying both my total aloneness and independence, AND the love and genuine concern of an incomparable family. I like to refer to this phase of life as “my silver spoon.” As Swamiji indicated, do cut that umbilical cord while the going’s still good!!

[@swatimeswani6531]
