AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In one of your writings, ‘When all the outer doors of help and all our advancements seem to be closed upon us, it is time to look towards the door which was always open.’ So, if one door is closed before us, how can we find the other door, which the Divine has opened for us?🔑🚪✨🤍

The door that is always open is the Divine Mother’s door. But we keep looking towards this or that person, this or that outer opportunity, this or that object of desire, this or that toy. But when the toy is taken away or broken, the child cries and turns to the Divine Mother. Unfortunately he cries only for another temporary toy. If instead he cried for the Divine Mother then he doesn’t have to worry anymore. 

First thing is to stop crying and complaining about the closed door. People waste so much time and energy fretting and fuming and kicking the door. Instead they should learn to be quiet, have faith and pray to the Divine. Opportunities will come. When they come one should take it with trust and confidence in the Grace rather than end up in the mesh of calculations and self-doubts.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

This is a clear proof of the fact that when the Chandi was composed the Radha-Power was not manifested to the vision of the saints and that the Chandi mentions…

Today I had a remarkable dream. I felt that something profoundly spiritual had happened to India. It seemed that Mother India, the Divine Feminine Power, had become firmly established in the nation, and that a deep realization had awakened in the collective consciousness of the country. 🗺️😊🙏🏻🪷🌄[…]

This is not just a dream but a dream vision. It is true to the details. Yes, Mother India is rising to reclaim Her Glory and redeem the world. The other woman is clearly the anti-divine forces whose time has come. They are angry at the rise of India’s glory and know …

In her prayer of May 17, 1914, Mother writes, “One day thou wilt be my head but for the moment turn thy gaze towards the earth.” When a disciple enquired what the phrase “thou wilt be my head” means, She answered that “The head is the original conceiving Consciousness. “Could you simplify the meaning of all this a little further for me? 📖😊🙏🏻🌼

Head is the hub that conceives whereas heart is the hub that impels towards action. 

What the Mother seems to be experiencing here, in this prayer, is to withdraw from everything including all action. She wants to be completely one with the pure Consciousness in its origin. But the command for her is…
