AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How to know one has realised the Divine? Is it based on any sign or experience? I feel a constant pressure inside my heart and it gives an aspiration, peace and devotion towards the divine. On the other hand the surface nature constantly act by the negative movement. This reason sometime that pressure is vanished. How much time the body will act on the surface nature? It is very unnerving stage for me. The sexual thought, ambition, laziness, repeating the mistake etc spontaneously arises and act upon the body and mind. In this stage what should I do😥? Please show me the right direction.

The deeper one goes into the soul, the more these negative tendencies open up in the surface nature. Everyone has to pass through it with faith endurance and an increase of aspiration. One has to keep offering the negative things as they arise until one day the main battle is over and one is inwardly free. The sign is a constant inner peace and joy. There are other signs too but this is the base.

Stay as busy as you can and do a lot of physical workout. Read, work, exercise, meditate leaving little time and place for these negative things to arise.

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. …
