AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Mother says in Agenda that “when the Lord draws nearest to men to establish a conscious relationship with them, it is then that, in their folly, men do the most foolish things.” She says that some do this out of panic and some because they cannot bear the Light. What exactly are these foolish things and how can one be vigilant enough to avoid being trapped and fail to respond when the Hour of God is near๐Ÿค”?

The most foolish thing is to turn away from the Divine out of fear. They panic because they fear losing their ego and their limited identity and instead of surrender begin to doubt and question the Grace. Fear and doubt that tie us strongly to the ego and close us to the Divine is what She is refering to.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
