Bhagawan says :
When you travel towards God, obstacles have to be bypassed. Prahlada went
against his father; Vibhishna went against his brother; Jamadagni had to harm
his own mother; Meera could not obey her husband; because they stuck to the
path of God and broke through all those who opposed them. Young men like you
have the problem, I know, of being forced to marry against your will by parents
who seek to hasten you into marital security. You have to win them over and get
their approval as Sankara did when he wanted to enter the monastic order.
