AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why does God snatch something that we hold so dear to us? How can I understand God?🙄

Asked by a 33 year old

God does not snatch anything nor does He want to play a spoilsport and make us unhappy. Suffering comes to everyone because we do not know the right way to live. We are attached to things and people which by their nature do not last or even if they remain, the joy we get from them passes away. This is the fate of all earthly life until we turn away from transient joys and seek lasting truths and permanent source of joy. Pain and suffering invariably come to remind us that the joys we are experiencing is limited and imperfect. This is meant to spur us to seek the Permanent. Indeed suffering comes to open an inner door for us and if we use the moment and the opportunity then we can discover the permanent Source and Joy within us.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Human beings are not equipped to love perfectly. If you still want to try and learn through hard experience then so be it. In any case love is something that happens if it has to happen. But remember love and demand do not go together. Either one can get the joy of loving by loving someone truly. Or else one can suffer in the hope and expectation of being loved and finding the perfect partner and match.
