AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I don’t want to get married, but my single mother wants me to get married. I do want to get a job, but unable to get any. I don’t want to hurt my mother, but I know that I can’t handle married life. 😭[…]

She wants me to go to the temple, but I want to go to the Relics Shrine every day. I shout at her and immediately feel bad for hurting her. Should I do a job or not? What should I do? Help me Dada, please.

One should not get married just to satisfy and fulfil parents’ wishes. One should instead address their worries by showing them that you are a strong, capable, independent person who does not need anyone. For that, your first necessity is to be financially independent. Besides taking up a job will also help you to be productive and keep your mind in focus. Going to the Relics centre is fine, but you must also take up some service. 

Getting angry at your mother will only complicate things. Find the inner causes of anger and root them out. Most important is to stay busy and do some regular physical exercises. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

If not a supramental life, what you’d consider atleast of the essentials required of living a healthy life mentally and emotionally?

Let us leave the supramental, spiritual and psychic apart for a moment. Nor can we arrive at the real problem if we just think in terms of numbers and case studies.

1. Has there been an increase of psychiatric as well as other illnesses?

Most probably yes. The reason is manifold. Science with its expansion of medication has lowered the natural resistance as far as physical conditions go. Labelling is another problem as far as psychiatric illnesses go. Labelling isolates a person and then instead of treating him as an organic whole we treat symptoms. There is also…

I feel now that I was never unhappy. Just disillusioned with the world around me after a certain point in life. Needed to find the truth. About people. Reality of time. Other things. Work. Things told/said to me vs my own experience. 🌱🌟 […]

The purpose is inbuilt within us as the tree is held back within the seed. So too the soul within is the seed within and its purpose is to realise, express and thereby fulfil the Divine Possibility or the Divine Purpose within it. It happens through a process of unfolding across lives. As we draw closer to the soul the more we feel conscious of …
