AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How do you maintain motivation and focus when faced with obstacles?

Asked by 12 year old

By increasing our will and cultivating faith and endurance.

When faced with an obstacle, then instead of giving up one should try to study and understand the nature of the obstacle and then surmount it with a steady application of will.

Instead of focusing on immediate success one should focus on long term goals and take all obstacles as an opportunity to gain strength and increase our will.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

The living mountain is the physical consciousness under the influence of the Psychic aspiration. 349 perhaps means the 3 lower and 4 higher planes that are embedded or involved within the physical consciousness represented by number 9. The dream implies that your physical consciousness is open to the Divine Influence.
