Very thoughtful and well expressed! I especially enjoyed and related with this point:

"Being and living the life of a householder teaches you the most difficult lesson: You can never run away in pursuit of truth. Can you be in the here and now and pursue the truth?"

As someone who once wanted to run off and become a monk, and is currently married and running a business, your article was very relevant!

Thank you for sharing this Dilip! There was a time when I went to Ramakrishna Mutt and asked them the procedure to sign up and become a full-time monk!
