When the Highest Loyalty is Upward, Not Inward India’s Itihaasa and Puranas are brutally honest about this: spiritual maturity is not sentimental. It is hierarchical. The Divine is not merely one relationship among many. The Divine is the axis around which every relationship becomes either elevated or corrupted. The tradition does not ask you to hate your family, disrespect your teacher, or turn cold. It asks something sharper: refuse to let any human bond replace the Supreme. https://www.boloji.com/articles/55307/when-the-highest-loyalty-is-upward-not-inward
