Meanwhile Bhakti dasi is being chastised regularly by Butler, she gets fired as the cook numerous times and switches to his housekeeper. Her young children are rarely supervised, guided, or loved as she is too busy saving her soul by surrendering to serving Butler 24/7.
If mom is addicted to crack or heroin, is being abused by a man and neglects her children to this extent, Child Protective Services would be called in, stat.
But if the parent is addicted to a guru rather than a drug, society tolerates it.
Abandonment is felt as abandonment whether the parent is distracted by a chemical addiction or to a process addiction -- in this case, a guru.

One kid in Butler’s group once told me. It’s the kid’s karma that they are born in this situation. After hearing that, any faith I had in karma just disappeared…”
How would we feel if someone stated that it's the kid's karma to be born to
a crack addicted mother in thrall to an abusive boss?
