AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why are there bad people on earth? Why would a person see private parts? Who is so so bad to do that? Why do I need to close the curtains to change my clothes? 😣

There is a time and place for everything. It is not about someone seeing another person’s body, trying to peep into the privacy of others. It is about exposing ourselves and thereby almost inviting others to see. We should not do that. It is part of a civilised behaviour not to expose oneself as animals do. It means that while inside the house, we should draw the curtains. It is not about good and bad people but about civilised and decent behaviour, which man has developed as part of his evolution and refinement. Otherwise, one may question why wear a dress at all? Why not be like animals without clothes and computers? But man is different from animals. So he naturally tries to cover up the animal body so that the focus can be on the mind and soul. However when the human body evolves into a divine body, and nothing animal is left in it, then again clothes will not be needed. But for now, it is necessary.Β 

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. πŸ₯ΈπŸ’πŸ’’[…]

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. …
