AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How can I organize my thoughts better? I tend to overthink a lot about life, money and work? For example, if I need to give a presentation that can be prepared in 2 hours, I end up worrying about it for 2 days๐Ÿ˜“.

Learn to quieten the mind through the practice of witnessing and work, not for specific results, but for the joy of it, as a means to develop and progress.

I also find myself getting irritated with my loved one over small things. I’m married and struggle to manage multiple responsibilitiesโ€”my job, my studies (I’m taking classes), and household chores, even though it’s just the two of us at home.

It is because we are not really living our true life but drifting aimlessly according to the pressure and impulsions of the society and others. Discover your own aim and focus mainly on that. The rest will fall into place with time.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

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.ย 

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…

I have a very problem since childhood and still persist. I start something in a very enthusiastic after resolution but drops it in few weeks or months either because of priorities or lack of interest or insincerity. Its both in case of ordinary & spiritual life. For example I plan to paint or read spiritual books or do some certification etc. How to fix this problem?๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ†•๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ“…

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.
