AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, should we watch movies? If yes, what kind of movies would you recommend—action, comedy, or any other genre? If possible, could you please suggest a few movies as well?🎞️🎥🎬🍿

You can surely watch movies as long they become an all absorbing addiction that disturbs other fields of activities. Among what could be watched, well anything is fine provided there is in it truth and beauty, and does not harm or twist our consciousness. Movies that instill hope and courage, stories of bravery and human goodness, humour that is intelligent, witty and subtle, love that breathes beauty and sacrifice, tales of valour and heroism, well made historical narratives, movies that showcase new ideas are good. What is however harmful are horror films, crime thrillers, crudity and vulgarity or emotions and speech, typical sentimental dramas. However there is a state in which one can watch anything and remain unaffected and learn something about human nature provided the discerning mind rather the vital is engaged in it. 

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 signify—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? 🕉️🕊️

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 …
