Everything is for you what you do
The spiritual path and its consequences are yours alone.
If you neglect your practice, you suffer the loss. If you practice, you gain the benefit. Your loss or gain belongs solely to you. If you revert to an animalistic existence, that fate is yours, leading to suffering. Whether you are reborn as a human or attain a divine state, the outcome is exclusively your own. This is a profoundly personal matter. The consequences are yours alone. No family member—not a spouse, child, or parent—will share this burden. You must walk this path by yourself.
"If you neglect, it is your loss. If you practice, it is your gain."
"Neither husband nor wife, nor children nor parents, will share this burden with you."
