AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dada pranam, How can one know if they are called or chosen for the path of Integral Yoga?๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐ŸŒ…๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ”๏ธ

By call is meant the aspiration for the Yoga. Aspiration is initiation. It is the inner decision to do the sadhana regardless of the challenges or the difficulties one may face. It is the will, the urge, the clear seeking for the Divine, not for what one may get from Him but for the sake of the Divine, to find Him, to serve Him, to love Him, to know Him. Any of these or all of these means that one has a call for the Path.

The other sign is that one has an intuitive recognition of the Divine Mother. One knows that She is Divine without anybody telling this to us. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The best way is to completely ignore him, and if you cannot do so then remain inwardly totally indifferent to him. The best response to people who are hypercritical is complete indifference. The more you try to explain, the more they justify. The more you concede, the more they increase the criticism. But indifference completely flattens them…

What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signifyโ€”is peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the Divine, seemingly equal and non-reactive like Shiva bearing and upholding the dance of Kali upon his chest or the ocean holding its tremendous energy by its own power of self-limitation. maryada. It is a state of concentrated ingatheredness like the mountains or a vast Silence …
