Dear Rewa,

I commend the commitment you made and honored for nearly two decades. Whether your spiritual path has changed or the difficulties you’re facing now are part of your development, I urge you to respond in the manner of your true nature — with compassion. That’s when insight will emerge. As painful as it is to be spending time with your family, it seems like an opportunity to address and resolve the guilt that you have been carrying about your parents–and now feeling with your guru.
