AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

We have a very strict sir, he scolds us at no reason, he once took my iPad, because it started with a notification😔. When we ask him a very logical question he shouts back at us saying why don’t you understand anything. And when we don’t ask a question he says why are you not involved in the class. In the exam he has given us a topic which he did not teach in class and it was hard. In the mock paper he should have given 35 mins but gave only 15 mins . He also had to check the pt papers within a week but gave in 2 weeks and 1 day. He also scolded us for not doing the homework but that only 4 people did not do out of 24 so why are the rest have to be scolded. What should we do?

You should learn from him how one should not behave as a grown up. And since you cannot change the teacher use it as an opportunity to remain unaffected and indifferent to things you do not like. That is a great power and this is a great opportunity to learn this lesson of bearing things without reacting with anger or frustration when things don’t go our way.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

One can never be lost enough as to not connect with Her. In fact, the more we feel lost, the more we should call Her and connect with Her. Who else one would call? She is The Mother and She would very much want that Her children call Her in distress rather than sink into despair. There is no error She cannot rectify, no mistake She …

Alok da, like during the times of COVID, there is a continuous fear psychosis being produced about the incoming mass unemployment due to the threat of AI.

One cannot deny that there is some truth in the statement. When machines took over, the labourer and the workers were threatened. When big Corporates came up, small businesses felt threatened. So too with the drones taking over the battlefield the warriors role is changing. Robocops may be next. Similarly will impact the knowledge based work. However the change will be a shift of roles as we see in the other examples. AI will still be …

Alok da, I have been observing two persistent, conflicting movements within my being that I struggle to understand. First, despite my conscious mind recognizing negative thoughts like jealousy, rivalry, or criticism as useless, something deep within still gives in and derives a strange, perverse pleasure from them. šŸŖžšŸ™šŸ»[…]

Human beings are a bundle of contraries. All of us carry these contradictory aspects which takes time to be reconciled or bridged. The process of true reconciliation begins by finding the psychic being which automatically widens us and sees the real and unreal defects of others with generosity and compassion. But the critical mind takes almost a perverse pleasure in fault-finding though most often its assessments are mistaken as it sees only a …
