AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I sometimes feel that money is important too, and if I continue with commerce… MBA and job, then only I’ll be able to fulfill this wish. The mind is very bad. It keep questioning. Sometimes it get satisfied with my nature and choose a work like philosophy professor, sometimes it looks at my parents and wish to get any job asap to become independent, and sometimes it wants money😥. […]

A lot of money to fulfill my passions, like buying a bike, travelling all of India, taking my parents to various countries, buying cameras, telescopes to sneak into the galaxy, sometimes I feel won’t the mother give me everything if I really need all this? Or if my needs are really imp? But then it comes to my mind, we have to work and get a job on our own! Passive surrender is not good?  

It is quite natural at your age. Best is to go through sanyama which means to regulate rather than nigragaha or forced repression. Take the path of inner and outer balance, avoiding the extremes, as given in the Gita. Go through life but know that you belong to the Divine Mother alone. Receive what comes to you but know that you are a trustee and everything belongs to the Mother. Do not covet or try to grab or snatch and possess. Be firm in the practice of equanimity and be not afraid of life and its gifts of joy and sorrow, success and failure. Above all be steadfast in faith in the Divine Mother. Serve Her and love Her and shrink not from life and love.

Will I even do anything in the future, or will I keep figuring out what to do, and the time will fly?

Don’t spend time in thinking. Act and do. For the path becomes clearer as we walk. Believe in yourself and act.

It’s really tough. I have emailed you a lot about this thing. I’m really dumb about my future career, Alok da. 

Nothing is tough if we have the faith and will. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

How can we know our Purpose of Life or the part and place in our life others have? What can we do in situations where we are not aligned within? 🙂🌱🌸

It is most important to know our purpose. One way is to look at our innate tendencies and temperament, study ourselves carefully and see what activities gives us natural joy and peace, the sense of inner growth and fulfilment. Fortunately we have a detailed guidance from the Mother on this issue.

It is said that if your will is not at work, then its Divine’s will is at work. So how can we know what the Divine’s will is? What changes should we make within to align with the Divine’s will? How to deal with chaotic situations and people? What is the difference between the Divine’s will and others’ will? 🙄🙏🏻🪷🌄

This is not true (that if our will is not working then it is the Divine Will). Its logical conclusion will be that if you succeeded then it is a personal will and if we fail it is the Divine Will! No, not at all. The Divine Will cannot be judged by the apparent outer results. For example the Divine may want you to go through temporary failures or ….

Iran-US tensions are causing a lot of oil shortages around the world, including in India. All peace talks are failing, and the possibility of a breakthrough seems to be thin, as both sides are unyielding, causing a deadlock. Won’t this oil shortage cause a long-term dent in the Indian economy, dear Alok Da? 🛢️🤔🗺️💥

In the short term it may create certain difficulties but in the long run it will push mankind to find alternate energy, clean and healthy energy which, if we rightly pursue, can completely alter the economic balance and shift the …
