AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

One thing pains me a lot. I see that people who waste money and resources๐Ÿ˜ , for example re-constructing homes, breaking and taking down good furniture and replacing it with a new one, wasting electricity in the name of home decorations, wasting water in the name of digging borewells instead of sharing, purchasing what is not required just for the sake of satisfaction and show off, spending lavishly in wedding and the list is endless. Most pathetic thing is that these are the people who have a lot of money while various others strive to fulfill daily needs and try hard to save money to satisfy small- small desires. why such combinations like sensible, spiritual and rich are less? Does it has anything to do with one’s thinking pattern? How can one earn money and be good and sensible at the same time?

Yes it should ideally be so, should have been so, but human beings easily respond to the Asuric temptations of a life of pleasure and comfort. These forces of money, political positions are the strongholds of the Asura through which he keeps mankind a captive. Their plan will be defeated as more and more human beings advance towards the spiritual life without falling into their lure and trap. It will inevitably tilt the balance leading to more and more souls turning towards truth and light leading to reduction of greed and a resetting of the balance of resources and wealth.ย 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Marraige is a different matter. It requires a deep commitment which can come only if there is some glimmer of true love or else strong earthly bonds of family, habits, customs, language etc. Besides, long distance relationship is very different from living together in close physical proximity.
