AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok Da, These days there is so much traffic🚙🛵 and I drive the car from here to there, so many phone calls to attend and people to manage, how to find peace in this chaos ? 

There is a long answer and a short one as well as an ultimate answer.

The long answer is to never take a call including through the blue tooth while driving, except from the immediate family members. Your life is precious to the Divine and His work or even to the people who love and care. The world can wait. Play some soft music inside. Stay in the heart centre with Her Name and establish a permanent settlement of inner Peace and Equanimity.  

Short answer: employ a driver, especially when driving long dustances or through heavy traffic places. It will keep you stress free and active, give employment to someone and be an added help.

The ultimate answer: shift to Pondicherry which combines the best of city and town life. 

PS: The last is not to be taken literally. Find the inner Presence and live in Her Peace and ease.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

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. …
