AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Recently I had watched a video in which a recent monk from Vrindavan, who appears to have some spiritual awakening. He preaches the traditional ascetic ideals, denies creation as illusion and a bondage, and speaks of liberation in some heaven beyond as the only solution etc. But in recent videos he was seen to be moving in a lavish Land Rover with his disciples. He even takes allopathic treatment regarding his kidney problem. But I can not say anything about it in my surroundings as people around me may get offended. But honestly I think this is a hypocrisy. Am I right about it?🎭👥😏

There was one more video of famous Kanchi Shankaracharya with his disciples showering gold coins over him, and also his so called ‘coronation’ ceremony as well.

Seeing all this a thought flashed through my head that, these people say world is an illusion, they consider stone,gold and soil as equal, they have shunned the world of Maya yet are using all the facilities created by the Maya.

I have also found it a hypocrisy. In fact if you really believe that the world is Maya then there is nothing to preach anything to anyone. The One was, is and will always be there. If there no ultimate reality of individual soul, then whom does one speak to, awaken, and who gets free from the illusory bondage? Most paradoxically to preach inaction by going around the world! But then people hardly think. They prefer believing and hence each one is best left to their beliefs.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dreams come from different sources. The subconscient dreams are quite chaotic. Interpreting them requires intuition and experience.

It is always good if one can remember the dreams even if one cannot Interpret them…

I have a question that makes me feel that people compare and based on their comparison, they decide and come to their preferences; they favour them. And when I see this play of ego, of pleasing the other person, and when one understands that one’s higher-up favours him/her, one feels good about that closeness. 💔😔🦋🌾[…]

It is wonderful that you are able to see the falsehood behind this kind of vital love of praise which is indeed a kind of falsehood. Yes it is everywhere and it takes a great degree of sincerity to be able to detect it. But now that by the effect of the Grace you are able to discern it, you must try to live only to please the Divine and that means …
