AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

While worrying about my outer life, inner life and sadhana, I became paranoid about relapsing into old lower habits. Alongside this was a sadness of unknown origin, concentrated around the heart centre. ✨🌷 […]

I tried to counter everything through mental gymnastics, but eventually my mind became fogged and I had no concrete solution.

Then suddenly, the word “endure” appeared in my mental space in large, silver, shining letters, with a little pinkish hue. Along with it came a spontaneous understanding. It worked almost like a mantra. My mind became clear and satisfied and the heart filled with spontaneous joy. It felt as though I was reminded: “I am not alone. The Mother is always with me.”

Sir, was the appearance of the word simply a mental construct, or could it have been a spiritual experience? Words can appear mentally, but here the spontaneous understanding that accompanied it felt different.

I am not doubting the experience. I am simply trying to understand it.

It was clearly a message from your soul asking the surface personality to endure the passage, since such is the law of the way. Victory comes to the most persevering. The character of the communication, its form and content, are all unmistakable, reminding us of the silver lining behind everything. Pink itself is a characteristic colour of the psychic being. The spontaneous joy you felt and the assurance of The Mother’s Presence are all clearly psychic feelings that came from the soul to remind you never to be despondent because She is there to help and take us to the goal.

The past is there in everybody. But few are those for whom the time has come for the doors of the future to be opened. It is certainly so for you. Have faith and move forward steadily, enduring the challenges of the journey with faith and remembrance of the Divine Mother. All will be well and even better than what the mind can conceive.

Love
