AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How can I feel positive for family members who have injured my soul in my important life events…I know Maa never said to be aggressive.. but how can I forget the stab wound?🥹 It’s very hard.. please give me some mantra to live life peacefully

Anger and frustration come from expectations. The remedy therefore lies in expecting nothing from the world, from anybody. Expect only from the Divine knowing that even the best of relations are driven by ego and desires. Human beings are innately imperfect, extremely limited in every way, ignorant of what is truly good for oneself and others. Hence they often inadvertently end up hurting even those whom one claims to love and tries to help. Once one understands that one grows generous and easily forgives. For such is the way people are built. Instead one gets preoccupied with how to improve oneself, how to progress and how not to hurt others having suffered as such.

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. …
