I love reading scriptures, be it the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, philosophy, Sanatan Dharma...since I come from a Hindu family to begin with this is usually acceptable. But we're not a strict religious family and my parents worry that I'm becoming "too religious for my own good". I am "naive", "trust blindly" and these are not good qualities in a dog-eat-dog world.
I know being religious doesn't mean becoming an introspective vegetable. How can I balance...being smart, responsible, standing my own ground with religion? This is the closest I could get to phrasing my problems.
Thank you,
