AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

On training the will power. Mother says that will power is trained by using it. I am a very systematic person and would like to take a systematic approach to everything I do. I try to become conscious of myself and apply my will whenever possible but the trouble is that it takes a long time to become conscious of what needs to be done. Can you give some general guidelines on how one can take a systematic approach to this training of the will? Something in me has a deep necessity of developing this will, all I need is the right approach where I can measure the results and see the progress in a tangible form. If you can be very specific, it would be really helpful🤨

It is desires and impatience that weaken the will, especially the sense of urgency to gratify an impulse. 

By not acting impulsively, by postponing or delaying gratification, by cultivating patience, by being deliberate and conscious, weighing it with reflection before choosing to act, especially rather than rushing to act we strengthen the will.

In any activity, physical, intellectual, emotional try to push yourself a little more each time.

Take life and its difficulties as challenges to be endured and conquered rather than to be complained and grumbled about. 

The effect will be a growing inner mastery and freedom, peace and joy. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Why should you worry or fear? If you believe that you are The Mother’s child, then where is the room for any anxiety or worry? Our intelligence may be and is  limited but if we open ourselves and offer to the Divine then He supplements our limited intelligence and force with His and then there is nothing to fear or be worried at all. …
