AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

When i go to outside in market and my college I don’t feel any positive vibes. I feel I am burning inside. Another I feel lonely inside and also I can’t tolerate the friend circle activities. The environment of college aren’t bearing myself. What should I do😏? I have face the same problem with my learning and examination.

It is understandable and even good that the usual run of the mill kind of activities do not appeal to you. To seek solitude is one of the signs of a budding spiritual life which requires to be nurtured. Too much mixing and socialising is certainly not good for it. 

However this need for solitude should not turn into a weakness and incapacity to face and see life in its various shades and hues. One need not participate in activities or discussions that one finds degrading but there is no need to run away or actively shun people.  Facing life with equanimity, going through its ups and downs with courage and face the inner and outer tests without fear is one of the best preparations for a more complete spiritual life itself. 

Affectionately,

The dwarf triple bodied trinity are the three levels at which the present human mind operates. They are, in evolutionary sequence, the physical, vital and the mental mind or the mind proper.Β 

The physical mind is heavily dependent upon the senses and the raw data they provide. It trusts only that which can be seen and measured. Then there is the vital mind that takes flights of imagination, thereby escaping from the ‘sensory reality’ in search of that which is hidden. It is the mind that fantasises, and in the process, might hit…

This is because the vital is unsteady. Practice equanimity, apply reason to control the vital from jumping from one thing to another, above all, call Peace and Calm to fix this not so uncommon difficulty.
