Taking Care of Parents vs Embracing Growth
Answering the classic "Obligation vs Heart's Calling" question. In the intricate dance of life, we often find ourselves torn between the weight of obligations and the whisper of our heart's calling. Obligationsโthose duties & responsibilities imposed by society, family, or circumstanceโanchor us to the practicalities of existence, demanding our time, energy, and often, our dreams.
Heart's callingโis that inner voice, sometimes faint but always persistent, urging us to pursue our passions, embrace our true selves, and seek fulfillment. This confusion between what we "must do" and what we "long to do" is a universal human experience, shaping our decisions, our identities, and ultimately, the spiritual path we choose to walk.
In this beautiful and special article, we explore how to "balance" between these twoโexamining how we can honour our earthly responsibilities without silencing the soul's deepest desires.

The following was written in response to a query we received on our Samadhanย WhatsApp group in February 2025. So please read the following in the same context.
๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ:
This is not only a response, but an insightful message for all to read and embrace. We all may come to a point where we need to choose between obligations & heart's calling. From this message, you will learn to find a perfect BALANCE that rewards the most.
โโโโโโโโโโโโ
โ๏ธThanks for describing your situation in detail. From reading of that, it appears that your situation is not as complicated as you think or feel it is.
๐Let us clarify first:
Always be ready to support those who supported you. Always ๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐ & ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐จ๐ฆ. Both wisdom & love only 'grows' when shared. It is a noble thought and desireโ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ & ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ when they are in need (as they cared of you for years). That sweet obligation is to keep and cherish.
But there is an even greater obligation, in fact, the highest obligation of your lifeโ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ & ๐๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ก. This is the 'original obligation' to life that we all divinely abide.
๐๐ป๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป:
Let me explain what it means for you here and now๐
Your life is calling you to join your husband... perhaps there is GROWTH and PURPOSE waiting for you... Just as your husband found his "dream job", perhaps ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ (your dream) is waiting for you beyond the seas.
๐ฑShould you renounce the highest obligation of life (๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐-๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ & ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐-๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง) in order to keep your 'earthly' obligation (to serve the parents)?
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐
I tell you thisโthe best solution to any confusion, is the "middle path" (the 'balance' way). That isโyou can attend BOTH the obligations. You can go and join your husband and ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐-๐ฃ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐๐ฒ, while ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ผ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ต๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐.
๐ชปSurely you do not need to be in person. You might have a sibling, or a trusted relative, etc. Also, you mentioned that you both are married for 20 years. You must have children then, who can live with their grandparents back home, making sure that they do not feel alone. Also, it would be nice to ๐ก๐ข๐ซ๐ ๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐๐ซ who live nearby (in case there is an emergency).
๐ปThere are many such ideas you can explore and experiment. When there is a good intention, ๐ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐. There are many ways in which you can make sure that your parents are looked after.
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฑ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ:
Looking at the financial aspect of thisโit is very much possible to hire a "full time" ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ who can live at your home (or nearby) and is thus, always available. Having a job in the foreign country will unable you to do all this easily, while allowing your life to bring you opportunities for ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ and new journeys to open.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ป๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐
By answering your question, my higher intention was to bring in your notice (and to everyone's notice) that often the best path to take in any situation is '๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐' (balanced approach) as even the ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ก๐ has preached. Observe that nature has everything is in a BALANCE (in harmony). This is the "divine blueprint" of how our life should be... You do not need to 'leave' one thing in order to 'hold' another. God has given us two hands for a reason.
๐ณYes, you must always ๐๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐ ๐ข๐๐ญ๐ฌ. When an 'opportunity of growth' comes knocking your door, WELCOME it, EMBRACE it... BLESS it... You are here not only to fulfill earthly obligations, but ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐. Yet, in doing so, you do also fulfill your earthly obligations. The universe will send you "opportunities to grow & progress" on this path. Always be open. Hear your heart, your inner voice is your sixth sense.
๐Do everything with 'joy' and 'love'. That is the key to life and the key to successโ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐ & ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ. Take care of your parents & family, not because it is your duty and obligation, but because you LOVE them... and in sharing & expressing this love will you find your JOY... Rememberโ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐ ๐ก๐ค๐ซ๐ ๐๐ค๐ง๐ข๐จ, '๐๐ค๐ฎ' ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐ค๐ฌ๐จ. ๐ผ๐ฃ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ก๐ค๐ซ๐ & ๐๐ค๐ฎ ๐๐ก๐ค๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐จ, '๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐ฎ' ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐ค๐ฌ๐จ.
๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ผ๐บ
Just as a parent care of their child not because there is an obligation to carry, but of "pure love" that they naturally experience for their begotten child! ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ, ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ค๐ข ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ญ๐๐, ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ก๐ค๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ... Therefore, do not feel obliged to do anything. Instead, do everything with ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. โคEnjoy opening new doors & embracing life's gifts, as much as you would serving your parents.
"๐๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐ ๐ก๐ค๐ซ๐, ๐ฉ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ค๐ข". Thus, if your parents hold true love, they will set you 'free' so you can progress in life without worrying of them. If you have true love for them, for your husband, and for your life-purpose, then you will take care of everything fine. "Follow your heart". This ๐ค๐๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐ค๐๐๐ค๐ is for us to use in every moment. The more you listen to your intuition, the stronger it becomes.
โถRemember: "๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ผ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ณ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐น๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ก๐ค๐ซ๐ & ๐ฅ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐"
Patience is a true mirror of love... When you love someone truly, you will hold great patience... even so dearly do you love your life!
โ๏ธThis is our advise and insight. Read it again and again till it melts in your heart. Let the words fill you with ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐จ๐ฆ & ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ... Think upon this, embrace the wisdom, and then do as you choose.
