Alok da, I wish to ask you about contamination. When I meet people, whether it's from Integral Yoga or from the path of common devotion, my consciousness always comes out to the outward material being's consciousness. It becomes horrible to me. Right, I have to struggle for days to go within. 🛡️🕊️ [...]

And when I meet people from the common devotion path, I always absorb their illnesses and lower consciousness. Although I know that Savitri is the best instant remedy, but on that very condition I can’t take refuge in it; I feel laziness heaviness to do that. But we have to meet people. As there is an invitation to my brother’s family nearby, where there is a programme of prayer with a gathering from Sri Krishna Bhakti Path… I wish to ask you, Alok da, how to maintain our sadhana life, living within, being stronger in inner consciousness than these outer situations, or how to come back without carrying their illnesses…

I can quite understand this. It happens due to a sensitive nervous system which picks up the vibrations all around. The solution is not becoming insensitive or not meeting people. The solution is to grow strong. The first thing needed is Peace and equanimity. Call for these; ask for them from the Divine Mother. Remember the Mother in your heart and when you meet people, think of Her Presence between you and the other person. Keep a little picture of the Mother with you. Call Her Name inwardly as often as you can.

Also, it helps to do some deep breathing exercises daily, especially anulom vilom, as well as taking a bath after any such meeting, especially with a little salt in it.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I need to ask you something regarding teaching. There are some students in my class who don’t listen, who are sort of rebels. So whenever you tell them something, either they won’t listen, or they will start arguing. How to tackle these types of students? 📚🌱[…]

There are three main reasons for this phenomenon in adolescents.

1. Partly it is the nature of the Age we live in, an Age of exceptional freedom and equality. Hence the old norms and patterns are gone and none of the old methods such as fear, punishment etc work.

2. There is lack of self discipline in the students as well as the teachers. The more a teacher exercises self-mastery the more he or she automatically exercises control over the students.

3. The subject itself may not be interesting or else presented in an interesting way that connects with the students. One should be creative and try to find better ways of engaging them with interesting examples.

Sometimes I find myself in situations where I have done nothing wrong, yet someone falsely blames or slanders me, and even those in authority seem to believe it. Personally, I do not feel the urge to defend or prove myself by explaining, because it seems to me that the person has already decided their position. 🕊️🌸[…]

Silence is always better when people try to insult you. Speaking up, retaliating over personal insults drags us down to the level of the person who is insulting. We unwittingly identify with the other person and sully our consciousness. ..

1. As we discussed, I haven’t yet been picked up by the Grace of Mother Mirra in any manner that is transparent to me. I aspire and I pray to the Divine Feminine, the Shakti of the Brahman, as my Mother and ask Her for grace and consecrate what I can to Her. Will this do as an entirely parallel or transient gesture until I have a more specific opening to Mother Mira? 🌸🌱🙏🏻 […]
