AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sometimes, there is a feeling that I am not actively outwardly doing enough to find the right resources or people around for Spiritual Growth. But other times, I feel that I should sincerely aspire within me for the Spiritual Growth and rest, the Mother will arrange it all outwardly. πŸ™‚πŸ”₯🌹

Absolutely, the true spiritual life does not depend upon people, outer practices and resources. It depends upon the call or aspiration within. If the aspiration is there and one is not pursuing spirituality for any benefit or outer reasons, then one is destined to reach the goal. One has only to be sincere in one’s aspiration and willing to grow more and more so. Nothing else is then required. Books, people, outer practices are mainly resources that may or may not be helpful. The most important elements are faith, sincerity and aspiration.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
