AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I read in auromaa about the Divine – “Make Him your friend 🥰, your permanent friend and partner of life and see how all loneliness will go”. My question – Does this truth requires a certain spiritual preparation? Because I don’t feel it in my present condition?

It is not a question of feeling but of taking a certain attitude, of a kind of relation one seeks to form with the Divine by turning our emotions towards Him as one would to a friend. Initially it is an attitude and an approach that one cultivates. Later the experience comes. If one already feels the Divine as friend then obviously nothing is needed except for strengthening the bond of friendship by sharing more and more. It is when one does not yet feel so that effort is needed to forge a living bond of friendship with the Divine. This is done by thinking of Him as one would of a dear friend, wanting His company, baring oneself to Him by telling Him all that is happening within and without and, by turning to Him in all one’s needs.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Whenever I turn my attention inward or close my eyes, a very gentle current begins to descend—what is this? Secondly, during meditation, my consciousness follows wherever this current moves, and at times it spontaneously draws me deep into the heart. 💗🌊🧘🙏[…]

This soft flow is the psychic feeling. It originates from the depth of the heart and flows towards the rest of your nature. 

During concentration it is better to go deeper towards the source of this soft current in the depths of the heart. It will lead you to your soul.
