Can I be spiritual and still neglect my parents and family because of my career?
Be good in the eyes of your family, and feed your parents
Whether or not the world thinks well of you, be good in the eyes of your wife and children. If you want to be spiritual, you may or may not manage to feed the poor, but your parents must not go hungry. Otherwise your earnings, achievements and degrees are of no use.
Whether or not you can feed others and the poor, your parents must not go hungry.
