AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How can I deepen my spiritual life, and why do my prayers seem to go unanswered😯? (example: I am praying regularly and upgrading my skills in preparation for a new job, yet I still struggle to succeed in interviews. Before each interview, I call on the Mother to be with me. While I believe something good will come my way, I’m left wondering when and how that will happen!!) 

There are things that we are supposed to do. It is part of our evolutionary effort. There are things that the Divine has to do.  Finally there are things that the gods of fate have to do. What we have today in terms of outer circumstances and inner capacities is what our past karmas have led us to (karma, by the way is an evolutionary mechanism and not a tribunal of reward and punishment). What we shall be tomorrow will depend upon the efforts we put in today. This is the process of evolution and we cannot bypass it. The Divine pushes the gods to mitigate the karma and blunt its effects,  He pushes and prompts us to undertake the effort and gives us the strength to go through the process. Finally He adds something all the time that has the power to override everything, something that turns evil into good and uses everything for the soul’s progress. That is the Divine Grace. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The empty room without furniture and a melancholic atmosphere is the mind and the child who entered there bringing fearlessness and joy is your psychic being who is absorbed in the play oblivious of everything else. You did good to call him again. The child comes naturally where its parents are who provide it the nourishment it needs. That nourishment for the soul is all that brings it the spiritual food, …

Dear Doctor, could you tell me what—within the process of surrender—recognizes and offers the parts of one’s being to the Mother? Is it the illumined mind, the dynamic will, psychological knowledge, or something else? 🔥🌸🙏🏻[…]

Generally it is the part that is most ready and turns towards the Divine takes the lead of the Sadhana. It may be the illumined mind in one person, or the deeper heart in another person, or the dynamic will in those who are oriented towards work and service. Behind it however there is always the psychic flame that has heard the call …
