GREETINGS

Dear Swamiji Many many thanks to you,for taking effort and interest in answering the questions. Swamiji ,as u mention about diverting mind from material world to spiritual….after deeply thinking and practicing ….I sometime get a feeling that. Is this only a way from escaping ,and not able to face the material depressions. For example. If a person who has lost his job, and find solace in meditation and spending time in Japan etc,….and avoids social life. Even if he is mentally happy due to meditation…but still the society and friends treat that person as escapist and insults him…which again causes depression in him, which otherwise he trained and made peaceful. The society does not allow the materially not successful person to live peacefully.is spiritualism just an escape from being materially weak. I have heard my friend passing remark on my spiritual and simple person…that only those who have sinned in life are the one who turn to spiritualism… This remark caused a deep pain in me,thinking this is how a materialistic person thinks about a spiritual person.As I too prefer sitting quiet and doing japan rather than going out with materialistic friends,who are just interested in enjoying life …money,food,luxuries etc.
