AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I want to be Free.. but from what? What is freedom actually? Part of me want to be free from all the hussle bussle of life and just be me singing and be at HER feet. I know ths not what Intergal Yoga is about and most of times  what ever circumstances  i face iam taking them as learning, karmayoga and stand like a soldier. 🕊️🔓🦅🦋

Upon deeper introspectin i know i want to be free from my Fears, anxieties, consequences and bandhas… … that is being difficult for me. 

My motherly bandha with my daughter, iam not abel to totally stepback.. that kid has gone through lot and still struggling with anxieties, confusions, her own inner spiritual path and outer personality. I know i can do nothing  its her souls journey  and  i can only be for her  and invoke Mothers protection. Iam doing that but it hurts attimes seeing her  struggle. She is on meds for ADHD and anxieties… and i feel helpless when she is going through lot.

No there are pocjets of joy, she is back to sports, singing ect that gives her joy. i dont even talk about that and how chocked iam feeling and  difficult to deal with even basic things.  I stand for my self and say No to many things thati used to do it in past just to keep balance in family  and rhs the problem there. His exoectations and almost no expectations  for me towards him. Iam soooo confused and exhausted, i know there us some insincerity in me nd ths y iam not abel feel and see light and joy in life??. Its my problem totally and nit where what to be changed?? I dont know any more… iam exhausted, tired and pray nd pray and invoke Mothers light  to show direction.

Freedom means freedom from Ignorance which comes by the discovery of the soul within. Until then we remain bound by our nature which we carry wherever we go. As long as we are moved by desires, ambitions, expectations we will be prone to fears, anxieties, disappointments. The pursuit of happiness in life almost invariably opens doors to suffering. Instead, one should strive to progress and then happiness will automatically come. As long as we seek worldly happiness we shall find the shadow of sorrow chasing us. The ultimate progress is of course to find the Divine and exchange our limited ego-identity with simply that of being a child of the Divine Mother. The royal road to freedom lies in taking complete refuge in the Divine. 

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 …
