AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How should one deal with comparison to peers and feelings of inadequacy or inferiority? Even if I logically know it is not the correct response and everyone is on their own journey, I panic every time I see someone reach a milestone and feel shame, sadness, and urgency about the things that haven’t worked out for me😓.

It is not enough to say that everyone has their own unique goal. True though it is, yet it remains at best an intellectual conception, until we find our own unique goal.

As long as we are standing on one spot and we see people run or walk past us we will keep having the impression that we are on the same track and in the same race. What is important to discover our own track, whether it be through the hills or the meadows, the forest or the plains, one needs to be clear about the road upon which we feel inclined to walk.

And for that the most important condition is to discover one’s aim, the goal of your life. Once we discover that then the rest becomes easy since we are on the track meant for us and others on their own. So spend time on reflecting upon your unique goal and you will see the jigsaw puzzle of life including what bylanes one took so far fall in place.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Last night, I had another dream. A person was with me, and there was a snake coiled up asleep; I am not entirely certain, but it seemed to have golden dots on it. The person told me to kill the snake. I asked, “It is sleeping peacefully; what is the point of killing it?” They insisted I kill it anyway. 🐍🐘🦚 […]

 It is clearer now. I didn’t know that vital love could also be considered great. I have not watched the Odyssey yet. However, after listening to your talk, I watched Troy (2004) out of curiosity. The way the relationships were portrayed felt very vital, except for Hector’s and his wife’s relationship.❤️📖 […]

Ram and Sita, Krishna and Radha or for that matter Arundhati and Vasistha, Anusooya and Atri, even Mandodari the wife of Ravana are unparalleled in the example of ideal love they have placed before us. I am completely in sync with the thought that Indian characters are uncomparable in their spiritual greatness and idealism. …
