I'm trying to coach wife on how to look at the mind as your roommate rather than identifying herself with it.
She has been through lot of experience and is now ready to turn inward and look for the root cause inside. There is nothing wrong outside
Asked her to start with Vasana Daha Tantra and read the book - the untethered soul.
Visiting the temple once a week also helps in this process which I made it happen for her.
I have a lot of cousins in USA who have had good lives. Lived the life which I wanted to live. Sid, my Mama, etc. He had a life which there was no shortage of money , healthy kids, care of parents and their presence all over until their end.
What's it that I learn from their lives ? That yes despite that ideal life -- one has to let go of everything sooner or later.
Seeing the movie "The curious case of Benjamin Button" where his life runs in reverse direction. Born old and grows younger every day. The maturity of an old man in a youthful body.
Everyday is just gone in attempting to make oneself or your near and dear ones happy. Why all this accumulation of wealth when there comes a time where your ears listen less, eyes see less, sleepiness and tiredness takes over ?
This continued cycle of birth and death is a pain and suffering and one has to be free from it by going back to a Guru and learning yoga.
