Ask Alok da

Alok Bhai, I lost my mother this week. A sudden cardiac. I ask is there a way to transform the exercise of loss into Grace?👩‍👦💔🕯️🥀

Loss is for the ego that clings to attachments and dependencies. But for the soul it is always a Grace.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Are Self-respect and Ego the same? 🪞🙏🏻

Self respect is one of the forms of the ego. It could be a sattwic or a rajo-sattwic ego but an ego reaction nonetheless. The soul never feels insulted or has any need to defend its respect. One who lives for the Divine is not affected by human opinions. The only thing that matters is closeness to the Divine. The insults and opinions …
