What an outstanding thought process! So well said: love and wisdom, that's it. And you are growing into a beautiful person filled with love and wisdom, too, my doll. Super proud! π€β€οΈπ«ΆπΌ
As for me - "Kuch tho log kahenge... Sita bhi yahan badnaam hui."
In 2012, when my hubby (SS) and I first got to know our beloved Om Swami, we could count his followers in the US (besides his family & Purvashram friends) on our fingers. At that time, SS and I showed Swami's video to my hubby's brother and wife. They said, "He is good, but nobody knows about him. We can't believe him."
Still, SS and I thought, "Who cares about famous? Swami is filled with love and wisdom; our hearts say he is our mentor." Today, the results of our following our hearts are for all to see. Even those who hate me can't stop thinking or talking about me! π
Frankly, I'm not fond of a crowd because I prefer working with a handful of dedicated ones who dare to follow their hearts. Nevertheless, whatever Sri Hari gives me - insult, status quo, or praise, I will accept it with grace. That's the promise I've made to myself and my Swami.
And you haven't changed just a little; I see a massive transformation for good in you, my dear one. Look at the quality of the posts you've been writing. That says it all. You are my rockstar, and not an inch less than that! Love you, my sweetheart. πππΌ
P.S.: I know you like long comments. So, I'm not apologizing! ππ€
