Ask Alok da

What is the best way to maintain friendly and distant relationships, Alok da? Not too personal and close – don’t share too much emotional stuff, but keep it healthy: just meet and greet once in a while, occasional conversations. What is the best way to handle/deal with people? 🤝🌿

Long-distance friendship is the norm today, as it keeps the relationship healthy and free of too much vital encroachments and expectations. The only thing is to remember one’s aim and be ready to learn and grow and reorient oneself and, above all, keep the Divine always in the centre. Life offers many situations and experiences. It is full of the unexpected. But those who go through it with faith and courage, especially keeping the Divine in the heart, emerge safe through everything.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Seeing her vulnerability, I picked her up, gently petted her, and brought her back inside the house. Could you please tell me what this dream might mean? 🐈‍⬛🌙
