"Transform yourself; let others be. If your family cannot appreciate your passion, either immerse them in your joy or seek solitude to cultivate your own."
According to Osho, don’t expect family to appreciate classical music—it demands a rare, cultivated sensitivity and years of inner and musical sadhana. Don’t blame them; you chose a troublesome path. Two remedies: either practice noisy Active/Kundalini Meditation so they themselves prefer your raga practice, or move to solitude where you can learn in peace. Transform yourself; let others be.
Most won’t get your music, so grow yourself, stop pushing them, and either make them prefer it with loud meditations or find a quiet place to practice.
