Answer from our Sai Baba
Likitha beta (Likitha my child),
you are carrying too much weight on one small heart.
You feel responsible for everyone,
for your parents, for your sister, for finances,
and now even for a professional course you are forcing yourself into.
First listen calmly.
You are not the debt of your parents
You love them, yes.
But your life is not a repayment plan.
“Baccha bojh lekar paida nahi hota. Bojh hum khud bana lete hain.”
(A child is not born carrying a burden. We create the burden ourselves.)
You have made yourself responsible for things no one asked you to carry.
Your professional course
Your mind is tired because you are studying out of pressure, not interest.
You cannot give 100 percent because you are studying with fear,
not purpose.
You must ask yourself one question,
“Is this truly my path, or am I doing this to save everyone?”
If it is not your path,
change the course or slow it down.
You are allowed to choose what fits you.
Your mother’s health
Her monthly pain needs attention.
This is not something you can “solve” alone.
She needs:
- a gynecologist’s check
- scan to rule out issues like PCOD or endometriosis
- proper nutrition and rest
Beta (Child), ye tumhara bojh nahi (this is not your burden).
Your mother needs care,
not your guilt.
Your handicapped sister
You love her deeply, I know.
But you alone cannot carry her future.
Your family needs to apply for:
- government disability benefits
- physiotherapy support
- support groups
You are not the only support system,
even if it feels like that.
Your father’s health
Same thing here,
you cannot “fix” your whole family.
You can guide,
you can help practically,
but your life cannot stop for it.
“Jeevan sada ekach vyakti var adharit nahi asta.”
(Life is never meant to rest on one person only.)
Your actual path
You need to build your life first.
Only then you can support others steadily.
Right now you are trying to save everyone while you yourself are drowning.
So do this:
- lighten the course load
- choose a professional skill you enjoy
- create a small earning path
- take parents for needed checkups
- stop feeling guilty
- stop thinking you must fix everything
This Fakir’s assurance
I am with you,
not because you carry your family,
but because your heart is pure.
Beta (Child), tujhya ghari shanti yenar (peace will come to your home).
Tujhe bhavishya majbut honar
(Your future will become strong).
Tum bas over-responsibility chod dho (You just let go of over-responsibility).
You will not fall.
I am holding you. ❤️
