AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dada, until now I used to meditate daily as a rule, but I just read the Mother that meditation is useful only when it comes spontaneously. Should I stop doing my daily meditation without spontaneous inspiration? πŸ§˜πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈπŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»πŸŒ»βœ¨

It means that nothing should be done merely as a ritual. There should be behind all our activities a conscious aspiration. Spontaneous meditation means that we are in a meditative mood and feel the urge to meditate rather than do it merely as a routine process. 

There is no need to stop the meditation. Do it with a conscious aspiration that comes to you spontaneously at the moment. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Yes, this is not uncommon. From birth to death, every step we take in life has its potential dangers as well as possibilities. The conservative instinct in us holds us back through fear but there is another instinct in us, an intuitive faith that pushes us towards the future even though it is ever unknown and uncertain. Faith in the new …
