Home » Spirituality » Alok da, sometimes I feel that nature is holding me captive consciously. Sometimes the touch of God is felt in the entire consciousness, sometimes without any reason doubt and the absence of devotion is felt. Earlier this stage seemed to be the most depressed but now I don’t feel any difference. All of them have coming and are going on their own. I detach myself from this activities. Still I feel pain due to this unconscious spontaneous activities. There is a feeling in my heart that I too should worship my mother like Ramkrishna, Ramprasad etc had done but now everything is going in reverse. Still, I feel something inside that stay for some time and let mother do her work. In this state, how can I reveal the devotion and dedication that I was expressing earlier? How to face this situation in right attitude😥?

Because it involves a change of Nature one cannot avoid encountering different parts of oneself. Great patience and steadiness is needed in any authentic Yoga, in this one much more so as it involves touching even the darkest corner with Her Light and opening the most resistant parts to Her Love.
Affectionately,
Alok Da

The Secret of the Vedas was my first book too along with The Synthesis of Yoga. While it is no doubt a precious treasure (I had felt floating on cloud nine while reading it), it is certainly not enough for the Integral Yoga. Besides, apart from the conceptual understanding, the actual details of the practice for today’s practitioners is …
