AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Can you share a simple rule of living?

It is not so much a set of rules as it is a set of attitudes that we must have.

The foremost among these should be a never ending urge for progress, the thirst to know more and more, to learn more and more, to grow more and more.

Keep the wants to a minimum as desires distract us and make us restless.

Receive with gratitude what life and destiny and God has to offer and do not covet what others have.

Regularity, self-discipline and moderation are the keys with regard to regulating the flow of life.

We must know that nobody is in a race with anyone. Each one is on a unique journey along a path uniquely his own and a place that he alone is meant to occupy. Therefore to discover our unique aim and the road we are meant to take is of crucial importance as it is this that will give value and quality to our life.

And if we are fortunate to find the spiritual path we are meant to walk upon and the Master who is meant to guide us, then we should cleave with all our heart and faith regardless of whatever happens in our outer life.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
