AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Brother, Vande Mataram Brother, I constantly hear that one should ‘open up’ towards the Mother… but I am unable to grasp what this ‘opening up’ actually means. How does one open up? What steps should be taken to achieve this? Please offer me some guidance.πŸͺ·β˜€οΈπŸ‘πŸŒ

To open to the Mother means to remember Her, to think of Her, pray to Her. It means not to hide anything from Her, to love Her and surrender yourself and all you do at Her Feet. It means that regardless of what you may be doing dedicate your actions to Her with the idea and thought that you are doing this for Her, in Her service. It also means the urge to know about Her and what She wants from us. This implies reading Her books to gather the right knowledge, the true understanding needed to do Her Work and live according to Her Will. 

So you see opening to the Mother is a whole program of orienting one’s life around Her, starting with calling Her Name inwardly as a minimum to giving oneself completely to Her and Her Work as the culmination. To love Her, think of Her, live for Her, depend upon Her for everything, surrender oneself to Her is to open to Her.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The physical mind is heavily dependent upon the senses and the raw data they provide. It trusts only that which can be seen and measured. Then there is the vital mind that takes flights of imagination, thereby escaping from the ‘sensory reality’ in search of that which is hidden. It is the mind that fantasises, and in the process, might hit…

I start something in a very enthusiastic after resolution but drops it in few weeks or months either because of priorities or lack of interest or insincerity. Its both in case of ordinary & spiritual life. For example I plan to paint or read spiritual books or do some certification etc. How to fix this problem?πŸŒ…πŸ†•πŸŒ±πŸ“…

This is because the vital is unsteady. Practice equanimity, apply reason to control the vital from jumping from one thing to another, above all, call Peace and Calm to fix this not so uncommon difficulty.
