How to maintain balance between work, home and spiritual practice?

Q : Gurumaa, I am married and working. I have a small daughter. Due to this hectic life, sometimes I feel like leaving everything and going to some quiet place. I am feeling very frustrated. Please guide me as to what I should do if I feel like this sometimes.

Shraddha

Answer

Well, Shraddha, this is the life style which you have chosen. Remember the day when you were getting prepared to be a bride, how many stars you had in your eyes, how many stars there were in your mind and how many dreams you had. You never thought about the challenges which married life is going to throw in front of you. This was your choice; now learn to cope up with it.

Learn not to complain about your daughter or your work; learn to create a balance which you can definitely do. You are a smart woman, just stop complaining & start accepting what you have. And be a blessed mother that you have a daughter and be a happy person that you have a husband who is sharing life with you. Just see the things in a different light, and then you will not be grumbling as you are; which is not good.
