AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Simply tell yourself: β€œWe don’t know how to do things as they ought to be done; well, they are being done for us, come what may!” And if we could see to what extent all that seems to be, yes, a difficulty, a mistake, a failure, an obstacle β€” all that is just to help us, so that the realisation may be more perfect. Once you know that, everything becomes easy.” – The Mother 🦚✨

It means to shed the arrogance of the mind and understand that the Divine knows infinitely better than us and hence, instead of imposing our ideas on the Divine, learn to trust the Divine Wisdom with humility and patience. The Divine values and vision are very different from ours and what we consider as errors, mistakes, failures are simply steps needed in the evolutionary process.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
