Not sure which forum (BK or PBK) this should come under. Anyway, here goes.
Whilst we're all happily discussing about the make up of (BK/PBK) spiritual families with the Father and Mother and the Children, this is all fine depending on where and how you stand spiritually.
However, all of us have a lokik family too. Those people are also souls. Are they not as spiritual as you. How much effort do you do for them ? Or is their part in the drama simply to give birth to your now healthy body and beautiful knowledgeable soul so you can rule the world. Would the time you spend with them be just as worth as the time you are spending with the spiritual family, or are they (lokiks) too degraded to meet your standard. Because they are not Brahmins but you are.
Whatever your relationship is with lokiks, you would not be even here if it wasn't for them.
Going back to the theme "Don't Give Sorrow, Don't Take Sorrow", how much sorrow are you giving your lokiks, without knowing it, whilst spending time with God ? And trying to match the clashing sanskars of your Brothers and Sisters ?
Many a time I hear of the how BKs run off to join their new found spiritual family, neglecting or avoiding their current family, and they would speak of this even after many years of being in Gyan, because it is so deep rooted. More so the older BKs, who say they do not regret the path they have taken, but still would talk about the past of how they came to be, which therefore is a subtle form of regret.
The key is "surrender". If you are not fully surrendered to the spiritual family, in which I mean all your property (body, money, possessions) are given totally for the spiritual family, then you cannot be really be pukka. Or the other test is how many here would give everything they have to pay for, say, an operation for their beloved Chariot (BK or PBK) ? If your lokik mother needed the same operation, who would give your savings to ? What would God do with His money ?
Would like to hear how BK and PBK members understand and deal with the balance between lokik and alokik families.
