uestion:
Can a spiritually-minded person have a harmonious life together with
someone who is not spiritually-minded? The person I care about does not
understand or accept my God-centeredness.
ri Gurudev:
You can still care about that person. Just remember that you have
to stabilize yourself before you help someone else. Ideally, your companion
should be somebody who has similar thinking; but if you are strong enough and
won't be affected by his or her lifestyle, it's fine to stay with that person.
Gradually you can help him. If you are going to be adversely affected by that
person, you are not yet ready to be helpful; in that case, you should take care
of yourself first. You can pray for that person, but don't let him disturb your
peace
