AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Over the past decade I have faced far too many personal & professional failures. Nothing I seek is seeking me, in fact its getting repelled from me the moment I start working towards it. I’m loosing my faith in the world, I see myself alienating from almost everyone. I’m a well meaning, truthful and soul curious person. What’s happening to me? Is this a sign for me to leave the material world🥹?

It is the moment to reckon the truth that you are perhaps not marked for the things that you are seeking in ignorance. It is a sign that the Divine has better plans for you and that there are higher things awaiting you. Reflect and try to discover your true aspiration, what you need most through the objects that you want or desire. Try to find the true purpose of your life, the aim which you deeply moves you, that which holds your passion and the thing that you would want to do most even if you got nothing out of it. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

An example of the former type could be, ‘suna hai …

From the archetype point of view, the character of the main protagonist (hero) in this film is more like Abhimanyu except that it ends up with a happier fate. Like Abhimanyu, he enters into the enemy ranks from where coming out was near impossible. He is trained but inexperienced, again like Abhimanyu. He is valiant, courageous, puts …

In one of your lectures on “Planned Action and Divine Action,” you mentioned that when we are praised or felicitated, one should neither deny it nor take personal pride in it. 🙁🤷🏼‍♂️🪷✨[…]

Yes, if one looks within and finds that one has done what best one could do in a given situation, then one should remain inwardly quiet and see why one gets disturbed by the criticism. It is generally either because one expects some appreciation or praise or at least..
