Who is right?

SaTNaam Penji,

 

Dandauth bandhana ji (please accept our head at your feet in service).

 

Dassan Dass ji will reply soon, but in the meantime we would like to thankyou for spending time to email us.  When we are young we are not always confident in trusting our instincts.  We want to please others, especially as you are now married so you want  to please your mother-in-law too.  But, at the same time your intuition is saying that your mother-in-laws beliefs are not for you, but yet she is imposing them on you and you are now caught in the middle.  Do you keep your mother-in-law happy or trust your feelings?

 

Your feelings is God, SatNaam, inside you, guiding you from your heart.  Your head though is caught in logic of trying to please others and the fear of not conforming.

 

All we have leanred from Baba ji is to trust SatNaam inside us, trust that if we always follow that inner Hukam and overirde our logic mind, then even though your mother-in-law will get upset, but in the end Satnaam is doing everything for the betterment of all, and she may come out of her illusions as well.  Maybe thisis why you are sent into that household to break the bharams - superstitions.  Ask your mother-in-law whay she believes in all those things?  Wht happened in her life to make her believe in it?  Why is she fearing so much if something bad happened to her son and family?  And on the back of that fear she has got into beliefs and things of lesser gods for protection?   It would be good for you to understand her lifestory, everyone has a reason, proabaly a bad experience, that caused alot of fearn and anxiety in her life, and baba balak nath was something for her to hold on to.  And you can acknowledge that her intentions to protect you and her son are not bad, you can appreciate shw is trying to look out for you.  However, reassure her that you have God's Name and Sant Parsaad and Satguru is taking care of everything.  You have the right to choose your spiritual path and not have it imposed on you.

Its your test, do you follow The One Supreme God Named Truth, Ik Onkaar SatNaam, or do you follow family and lesser gods?

 

God Bless you.
