I recently read a very interesting article/rather question on Buddha's path to enlightenment and about how he left everything and everybody. It tried to reflect on the pain of abandonment that Buddha's beloved must have experienced. What became of them? Isn't it self serving and irresponsible to walk out on one's life partner, spouses or children?
It has evoked very deep thoughts inside me on fundamental responsibilities/ duties towards ourselves, our relationships and towards people who love and depend on us.
What becomes more important and is considered a duty or the purpose of one's existence? Duty to self or to your loved ones?
I will continue to search for my answers...
Till then, continue to fulfill your duties and remember to be in a state of bliss - for that is what you are meant to be in!!!
