AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Please tell about self-giving and how to do it💮?

Self giving means turning all, all one is and has towards the Divine rather than towards oneself and for any selfish purposes. 

With thoughts it means thinking of the Divine, turning mind and thoughts towards His Service. 

With feelings, it means to direct love towards the Divine whether in the mask of humanity or directly towards Him.

The same applies to life. Self giving means leading one’s life in obedience to and in the service of the Divine. 

With the body, self giving means the impulse to action should originate from the Divine Will and be connected inwardly to the Divine for the fulfilment of the Divine Lila in the world.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The release from the conventions is the release from the laws and norms of the old creation. It is akin to the story of Daksha Prajapati whose laws and norms are overturned by Shiva and the sacrifice of Mata Sati….
