Whenever disagreement arises, don’t see it as something unwanted. A conflict of opinions can help broaden one’s perspective, provided the intention is to reach the fact. Most often, however, the intention is to defend one’s position, which is driven by ego. Talk and don’t take it personally. If you don’t know how to interact—even with the best of people—you won’t grow. You must know what to take and what to totally ignore.

Questioner: Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity. Good evening, Acharya Prashant Ji. I have been listening to you for the last one year through your youtube videos as well as courses, and you have helped me a lot. Recently, I have turned vegan as well.
First of all, I am facing a lot of issues, and sometimes disagreements with my family. Sometimes I am at fault, and sometimes they are not understanding what I am trying to say. They don’t understand my spiritual side, and sometimes it's about their perspective, and I am not understanding it. For example, just now, during the first part of the session, I got my chance to ask the question. My mom wanted this laptop to do her office work, and she said certain things like, “Give me the laptop, you are just wasting your time.” I felt bad because you are important to me, and this whole spiritual thing is important for me.
I felt bad, and usually, we argue, but from some days, I have been trying to control myself. The same things happen with my dad too. My mom sometimes understands, because she is also somewhat spiritual, but my dad isn’t. My mom introduced me to religion, and religion introduced me to spirituality, and here I am! I seek your guidance on this issue.
