AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Is a higher spiritual calling greater than worldly and family ties? Lately, as a witness to life’s fragility and transience, I feel an acute void—ordinary social life, comfortable domestic surroundings, and even quiet sadhana at home no longer satisfy my soul. 🙏🏻🌷 […]

Despite every comfort, my heart feels confined and unfulfilled, yearning for an atmosphere where I can truly breathe and dedicate myself to my Guru’s work. How does one navigate this inner restlessness and longing to serve, while still balancing existing duties?

I have an intuitive feeling that the right marriage will help me blossom, offering the safety, protection, and freedom to express my true self away from current limitations. Being single makes me feel vulnerable to unwelcome attention, while my family doesn’t truly understand who I am. Is this yearning for security and expansion through marriage an authentic inner aspiration, or simply an urge to escape my current environment?

Worldly life begins to feel empty after a while. Pray, pray, pray that the Divine fills your loneliness.

Affectionately, 

Alok da

Human beings are not equipped to love perfectly. If you still want to try and learn through hard experience then so be it. In any case love is something that happens if it has to happen. But remember love and demand do not go together. Either one can get the joy of loving by loving someone truly. Or else one can suffer in the hope and expectation of being loved and finding the perfect partner and match.
