AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

In earlier time I was feeling devotion, faith, gratitude and surrender to The Mother. My mind was constantly remembering her. But now that isn’t happening. Mind is creating doubt, vital being feel restless, a lot of ambition and sexual desire arises and they give pain in my lower abdominal part. I see that doubt and desire coming from outside constantly and with offering it also coming. Now I feel that this is not the problem of my nature and and other, it is the whole universal problem. What should our right attitude to passes through this stages. And how long the  battle will occur and what is the next thing will happen after this stages 🙄? 

These things or rather this phase comes to every sadhak especially if one has taken to the Yoga at a young age when the vital drives are strongest. That is the age old wisdom that people should take to Yoga after they have experienced life a little going through the experiences natural to each age until they are fully ready.

In any case the best way to deal with these things is not to give them so much importance, to detach oneself from these movements when they arise saying to oneself that this is not what I am, to turn the mind away by staying busy, sublimation of energies into sports or physical exercises and education, and calling the Mother’s Name if the struggle gets too intense.

As I said if you are too young it may be helpful to go through life experiences so that some of these tendencies get weakened and exhausted. Plenty of people practice yoga as a person engaged with different aspects of life such as taking up a Job, going through a relationship etc and it is not necessarily always a bad idea.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
