AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

But doesn’t marriage keep people stable also – or would they drown themselves in alcohol and drugs, as in the West, due to loneliness? Free intimacy is also a hindrance, right? At least it fixes your emotional, physical, and financial needs. To explore higher areas of life… or wouldn’t everyone just live like animals? Osho’s ways were effective in giving an alternative to marriage? 🏡🌿

Marriage is like a double-edged sword. If the partner is right, it can help create stability. If the partner is not the right one, it can lead to chronic unhappiness, conflicts and instability. This is especially true of our times when the real stabilising factor, the family, is broken. 

As to alcohol, it has nothing to do with marriage and loneliness. These and other excuses are simply given by alcoholics as justifications. In reality, alcoholism has to do with a weak will and a lack of true joy in life. 

Affectionately, 

Alok da

While explaining Nirguna and Saguna Sat, he uses phrases like “they nivṛtta, He nivṛtta” and “they pravṛtta, He nivṛtta”, which I find difficult to grasp. ☀️🕉️[…]

The Lord is both pravritti and nivratti, as the Fire and the Sun are both pravritti and nivratti. As Light they simply stand back and illumine the field but as energy they impel all things into dynamic movement. So too, the Divine as knowledge illumines all things with His Intelligence even without entering into them. But as power, Shakti, He

Are Self-respect and Ego the same? 🪞🙏🏻

October 13, 2026

Self respect is one of the forms of the ego. It could be a sattwic or a rajo-sattwic ego but an ego reaction nonetheless. The soul never feels insulted or has any need to defend its respect. One who lives for the Divine is not affected by human opinions. The only thing that matters is closeness to the Divine. The insults and opinions …
