AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

If one is not free of dirt like laziness, fear, desires (for sufficient money for a comfortable life, tasty foods, sex, affection & recognition of other persons, etc.), ego, irritations, anger, etc.; it is said that one shouldn’t invoke/pray to the Divine for help, as Divine’s force may have bad effect in the presence of the dirts. Is it really true? 🙄[…]

Who else to Call if not Divine Mother? Is it possible that She sends only that much Light & Force, which can be borne by me with my goods & bads within me at present? Will repeating ‘Maa’ or ‘Om Anandamayi Chaitanyamayi Satyamayi Parame’ Mantra only (with whatever poor way I Aspire, Reject & Surrender) clean all of my dirt and make me fit for Sadhana and experience the Presence & Love of the Divine Mother?

But who has said that? It is completely wrong and very far from the truth. One needs the Divine purity when one is dirty, and the Divine Love so that one can change. One is free of dirt only when one is identified with the Divine. But then there is obviously no need for anything. Until then, one puts in one’s efforts but also and mainly relies upon the Divine Mother’s Grace. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Marraige is a different matter. It requires a deep commitment which can come only if there is some glimmer of true love or else strong earthly bonds of family, habits, customs, language etc. Besides, long distance relationship is very different from living together in close physical proximity.
