AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, even after suffering if desires are still there and itโ€™s tormenting and scaring about old age/loneliness etc. but as the sufferings have taught a lesson & have paid a huge price by losing what was given/gifted before; is it ideal to pray to the Divine mother to take away the desires? ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Sir, even after suffering if desires are still there and itโ€™s tormenting and scaring about old age/loneliness etc. but as the sufferings have taught a lesson & have paid a huge price by losing what was given/gifted before; is it ideal to pray to the Divine mother to take away the desires? (as am not able to identify which human being is divine sent and which human is a disguise and anymore donโ€™t want to disobey the Mother at any cost). Kindly adviseย .

All creation and every human being is a mask. In whatever form and way we have spontaneous faith, that form can become a means to open the Divine doors within us. But since most human beings are mixed, desires tend to creep in and create disturbances. Therefore the wise have always adviced to keep a bit of safe distance, not because people are bad or cannot be trusted but because too much closeness either makes us see certain real or unreal defects but also raises expectations often of an unrealistic nature. While it is not easy to eliminate desires, one can always exercise a certain Sattwic self-control and the law of moderation and balance which helps one prepare for their final exit. 

Most importantly keep your faith intact as a priceless treasure. The Mother is all-gracious and all-loving, in fact She is the very Source and origin of Love. Have no fear and turn to Her more and more. It is indeed the one supreme safety in life.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Liberation generally means freedom from the cycle of birth and death which is supposed to be due to the action and reactions of Karmic energies.

Aspiration is something that rises from the heart. It can take the form of seeking for the Divine, a longing that grows and turns it into a single aim, a cry that takes the form of a wordless prayer. It is a fire that burns in the heart, gradually spreading from there to the…
