AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sometime we take second hand things or used things…….and sometime we take gifts 🎁 from other…,so what is the best way to deal with these things and should we use or buy used or second hand things…..same for gifts……What Divine point of view about it?

Receive everything that comes in the consciousness that it is coming from the Divine. Similarly all that goes to someone else take it as going to the Divine. This is the general principle. But practically speaking it is not a good idea to take second hand things and if you do, then wash them thoroughly before using them.Β 

Affectionately,

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
