AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

I feel I am the most unlucky person in the world and only my life is so problematic. Everyone around me are happy and things go well for them, why for me there is so much difficulty?

Life poses problems for everyone, only the nature of the problem and its degree differs. But if we look deeply we shall discover that these problems are actually challenges through which our consciousness grows. What we need to understand is that the goal of life is not happiness and personal comfort but growth and progress. Besides we cannot say who is really happy by looking outwardly. There are people who seem to be busy going around spending lots of money in parties and holidays are often feeling quite lonely and hollow inside.  In any case difficulties indicate that there are several possibilities in us and if we take the difficulty as an opportunity then it can help us tremendously in our progress which is the real purpose of our life.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
