AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I think I’m emotionally dependent and scared of being alone. I still don’t fully understand what the future will look like — whether my family will move, whether Mom will be emotionally stable and how everything will unfold. When I see other families together and doing fine financially, it makes me restless about both of them. I feel afraid because I don’t know what they’ve decided, and I don’t know if the coming years will be okay for all of us😰💸🧾

As I mentioned earlier, I would probably not panic if I was sure this was a thoughtful decision, but clearly it is not. Both of them tend to make impulsive decisions most of the times. Hence the worry.

I understand your worries. Human beings worry because they want the future to be shaped in a certain way. They try to foresee and plan the future according to their ideas and wishes. But what they refuse to see and understand is that there is a higher Power, a greater Wisdom that oversees these things. Sometimes the actions of this Wisdom seems to as if fulfil our wishes and sometimes (often) it does not seem to bend to our caprice. Even when our plans are fulfilled outwardly yet what we were looking for through it, what we were wanting, goes missing. People take up a job, earn money, get married, buy a car, raise a kid, thinking that it will eventually make them happy. But does it? We really don’t know what will really make us secure and happy. That is why the wise who have deeply reflected upon this subject ask us to do our best but leave the rest in the hands of the supreme Wisdom of God with faith in His Grace. This faith and surrender to the Divine Will is the royal road to Peace, happiness and all the security that we need. Those who can take this leap of faith and surrender themselves to the Divine are freed from all fears and anxieties. Those who cannot remain in doubts and fears even when everything is fine around them. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

How can i purify my relationship with the Mother? Asking the Divine for too many things seems selfish and at the same time if i make a promise to myself that i will not ask unnecessary things and face difficulties myself seems not the right thing to do. I feel my relationship with Mother is the most valued thing in my life so how do i make it pure.

Surely we can ask the Divine Mother for what we need. Only our relationship should not be confined to that. One should learn to give, to give out of joy, something of oneself, work, actions, money, something for Her Purpose in …

Pranam Sir. I want to ask about how to deal with negative anticipations, thoughts, and expectations in our daily life. One of my colleagues always targeting me and quarreling with me over each minor issue or mistake and even insults me in front of juniors. He is visually challenged. 🌿🕊️[…]

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 …
