AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok da, I am drowning… I need help! My parents are against me. I can’t live here another day. I’m losing myself and my mind. Only yell and shout at me. 😫🧑🏻‍👩🏻‍🧒🏻🥀🦋

I would rather advise that you sit with your parents, try to understand their viewpoint, and, if there is still some confusion, then listen to them. They are always the best well-wishers, and even though they do not know everything, they understand their child best. It is not just decades of bonding and experience since birth but a strong maternal instinct that is generally correct about what is good for the child. Yes, they may and do get angry and children do not like it. But even behind this anger, there is love trying to push the child along a path they think is best. They may be wrong, but the intent is right.

And if that is difficult, then instead of despair, one should turn to the Divine Mother with full faith and know that the Divine will never fail. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The sadhana once begun never really stops. Yes one encounters temporary halts, – almost everyone goes through these phases, but that is because we need to assimilate the gains of the sadhana. Often our outer nature may not even recognise. Yet one has received something but more is not coming in either because the container is small …

Dear Alok da, thank you—the lines from Sri Aurobindo in your email helped immensely, and while old holds haven’t entirely left, they feel looser. I find myself happier in solitude, as outer interactions easily muddle my poise, while an intense inner longing to remain anchored to the Mother, Sri Aurobindo, and Sri Krishna continues to grow. 👩‍👧🕊️🙏🏼[…]

Call The Mother, take Her Name and keep offering all your pain and dilemmas to Her. Surrender yourself to Her with faith and trust in Her.
