[Smt. Lakshmi Lavanya K asked: Pada namaskaram Swami, I have a friend who is unmarried because of financial problems. Two years ago, her brother in law also died due to coronavirus. Her sister has sufficient financial status to live a peaceful life. They joined ISKCON to overcome their mental problems, they feel I am also like them and started to observe and enquire about me. I said I am not alone, God and I are living together, don't bother about the future in this birth, but think about how to get human birth and chant the name of God in the next life. But they don't understand, they always ask same questions to my sister and me as cross enquiry, they ask us how to trust a human as God and guru. We tell all Your knowledge many times but they don't get convinced. I am tolerating them because they are talking about God, but last time they are advising me to ask for my share in my father's property, take a loan on it and buy a joint house with them. I said there is no need of a house, I will live in an old age home. After that I thought I am not active in worldly matters, I don't talk even with my neighbours, so they may deceive me in future. They are also not talking to me with interest to learn, so I blocked their numbers, but I am in confusion as to what I did is right or wrong, You know the minds of everyone, please advise me. Pada namaskaram Swami.]
Swami replied:- Your intelligence is good in worldly life also.
