AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Can you please explain the importance of ‘Ek Nishtha’ or Sincerity🙂?

Ek nishtha or sincerity is like the lamp that shows us things exactly as they are without colouring or covering them with justifications. This is the first step. It is called mental honesty.

Once we see things as they are and recognise them for their true worth we have to act upon the indication given and the thing that is shown. Each time we act according to what we have seen to be true we grow in sincerity.

Next we have to develop it in every part, every action and also keep sharpening and widening the truth we can see in the light of sincerity.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Yes as a child I was quite fond of Pannalal ji. Actually I was referring to the writer, not the singer. May be you could let me know the author of the song.

Whenever something good happens to me, I remember the Mother and thank Her. On the contrary, whenever something bad happens, I try to rationalize it by thinking that Mother saved me from something worse. Is this the attitude we should keep? ❤️‍🔥😊🙏🏻🪷

It is not just a rationalising of things but the actual truth of the Divine Grace that often mitigates our karmas. But the ideal attitude of course is that to take everything as a Grace and to regard even the toughest of blows as a…
