AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How can one maintain peace of mind, if one faces a property dispute court case, which by its very nature, is the killer of peace😢?

If you regard anything as yours and desire it for personal pleasure then obviously there can be no peace. Desires, wants and peace don’t go together. So if one must find peace one must be unattached to these material things. When they are with you, you should use them as a trustee of the Divine. But equally if they are taken away it is not worth lamenting as money, apart from a certain limit needed for the basic maintainence of the framework of life and its important activities, is incidental (and not central) and in many ways an encumbrance. 

Besides the atmosphere of courts is full of falsehood and is best avoided unless you are fighting for some divine cause, in which case one always has peace.

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. …
