AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In this short time, I have started having a lot of experiences, so I have started doubting whether my mind is imagining such a favour without any reason, whereas I am not even worthy of this, I do not have any qualities in me. I am a weak person, full of arrogance and doubts. Even if I tell you honestly, I am writing all this to you, even then all this is coming to me that look how good I am, who is calling himself weak. I am full of thousands of such defects, that is why I doubt whether I am even worthy of this or not, Dada.βŒπŸ€”πŸ’­β“

To judge oneself either in a self depreciatory way or with pride are both a play of the ego. The Divine Grace neither sees nor acts according to our human understanding. All that is needed is to be grateful and keep giving oneself to the Divine.Β 

Experiences should neither be sought after nor shunned nor should they fill us with pride. They are scenes on the way, not the journey itself.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I want to ask, is this a good way of practically knowing, or is it too reductionist? And according to you, what can be the best practical way for a young child?πŸ§’πŸ“šβœ¨πŸŒ±

That is one way of looking at it. But a slightly negative and outer way of looking at it. There are plenty of things we do which do not involve success or failure. We do it because we find a natural joy in it. This spontaneous joy …

Probably 4-5 years ago, I had read a book named ‘Immortal Talks’ by an author named Shunya. Last time I checked, the author hadn’t revealed their identity. So the book is about Hanuman and how He imparts the ultimate knowledge to this particular tribe of people every 40 years and the story revolves around it. You can call its genre fiction. As I read that, I felt such a deep connection with Hanuman. πŸ“–πŸΉπŸ›•πŸŒ„πŸŒ»[…]

It is not a dream but a real contact with the ever living legendary Hanuman who continues to help the simple hearted devotees upon earth to turn towards dharma.Β
