AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I’ve anxiety problem, age 63. I try to sit quietly before Mother’s photo and pray but not always I can overcome it. I try to read Ma Sri Aurobindo’s book but cannot concentrate. Then I try to do household chores and be busy with work. Even I feel guilty that being Mother’s child how come I cannot overcome this problem. I want to know when this happens what shall I do at that moment so that I can settle down and pray? 😰😥🥀🍂

There is no need to feel guilty. All that you need to do is some deep quiet breathing, turning the mind away towards some activity with the hands, calling Peace, calling The Mother’s name quietly. Or read something absorbing or hilarious. Try these measures and see.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
