Amma: How are your parents?

Seeker: It`s a long time since I have seen them. Ever since I began wandering in quest of truth I have been detached.  I am not in touch with them.

Amma: Around here we do not speak of detachement. We speak love. What
you call as detachement is basically a distaste and an intolerance towards the values, behavior and life style of your parents. Would distance really separate you? None can sever their ties with their parents internally. You may not be dependent on them, nor they on you. Nevertheless you continue to affect each other. No matter how old you are, your relationship with your parents whether alive or deceased lives on.
