Q: Shall we leave family for Lord?
First of all I told that there is no need of leaving the home or family
If the home and the family are congenial to the mission by devotion
This question does not arise in your case since you are a great devotee
When the family opposes the mission, then only one has to leave home
However, I shall answer your question keeping you as a representative
For an un-matured devotee, in which case only this possibility arises
Neither God gives you such strength nor you can attain it by your effort
Such state should be spontaneous and then only the Lord is pleased.
Leave this mission, one day or other all have to separate and go
Then do you require the strength for such departure or not?
The departure is inevitable even for the un-divine human beings
If the blind love is accumulated day by day, just imagine that day
When one has to depart from all his blind attractions in this world!
Just on the deathbed, the Lord gives the last flash of knowledge
By that you will realize the truth because at that junction of life and death
One sees clearly both the worlds since the messengers of Lord Yama
Stand before the person to pull out the subtle body from the gross body
Then every one realizes that these bonds were absolutely unreal
In that last few minutes the agony starts because the person thinks like this
“For these blind bonds I have spent all my energy and my life time,
Who cannot save me in this time, the saviour is not coming now because
I have not spent my lifetime and energy for His mission when I was alive
Now even if I wish to serve the Lord for His mission, there is no time
When time was there this realization did not come, what could I do?”
At that time the person is pained for foolishly having these bonds
The person is not pained for leaving these bonds as you think now
That situation will open the eyes of every human being in this world
If you are not pained to leave these bonds for the mission now
When you are alive, you will not be pained at that last minute also,
You realize now and be wise to leave the bonds with happiness
You will have the same happiness at that time also to leave these bonds
One day or other you have to leave the bonds without any mercy
Why not leave the bonds now itself for the sake of the Lord and be saved?
When you leave these bonds at that time you are not saved for leaving the bonds
But if you leave the same bonds even before that time, you are saved always
Is it not wise to do an inevitable thing now itself and get its benefit?
Is it not foolishness to do the same inevitable thing then and loose everything?
