I have been on a spiritual path for many years I also live and
work in the everyday world. My wife of many years believes in
nothing , and fills her emptiness with infidelity. I left her
three years ago because of her behaviour-I felt she was slowing
down my spiritual progress-Since then she has spent her time in and
out of psychatric hospitals , and now her moral behavior is
even worse. She now begs me to look after her , but I know
I would find it extremely difficult-My question is - should I
look after this former wife when I know to do so will keep me from
the spiritual path ?
