How Can We Put Your Knowledge to Practice When Opposed by Elders?

[Shri Balaji asked: Elders say that I should listen and follow them. Otherwise, they say that I will lose their blessings. In such case, I am unable to put forward the true concept of spiritual knowledge given by You.]

Swami replied: If there is truth in what the elders say, they need not put any extra force to threaten you that you will not be blessed if you don’t follow them! The truth in the concept itself is the greatest force. If they are applying force on you, it means that what they say is not true! You should never bend your head to elders if they are not speaking truth. You can put forward the true concept without any fear, but very politely respecting their age. You can make them agree to your point certainly through soft way in very polite language.
