AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

There are many difficulties in my house. No one is in a position to understand or explain anything. But my problem is that I am in the last year of my MA. Right now, or even for the next few years, I have no desire to get married, but no one seems to understand this. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป[…]

Please tell me what I should do? Without informing me, they have even gone to see potential matches. I kept thinking about whether to ask you or not, and finally, I decided to ask. Please tell me something!

A simple thumb rule for our times is that one should not marry until one is psychologically ready and financially independent. One should at least know something about the person and the family before deciding on marriage. If parents persist, one should try to explain, giving reasons for the unwillingness and addressing their concerns.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Certainly the Hindus knew the various means of purifying the mind and intelligence and, during the heydays of ancient India, the Vedic period and even much later, they did turn it both inwards and outwards. That is how they discovered such wonderful things which included plastic surgery, an elaborate pharmacopeia, warcraft and deadly weapons, principles of politics and administration, rules of mathematics and chemistry, linguistics and …

Sir, is whatever happens with us is always for our best? ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ

The Mother has given a very beautiful and complete answer to this.

‘Is it really the best that always happens?… It is clear that all that has happened had to happen: it could not be otherwiseโ€”by the universal determinism it had to happen. But we can say so only after it has happened, not before. For the problem of the very best that can happen is an individual problem, whether the individual be a nation or a single human being; and all depends upon the personal attitude. If, in the presence of circumstances…
