AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

As I’m a commerce student, when I read the subjects like economics, business development, and others that certainly focuses on how to grow businesses, but what I see largely is, the whole economy, the consumerism, utilitarian culture, the today’s business world is altogether in the hands of Asura, people are no way worried about the resources, they are just running for “growth”, and don’t know what’s the end point of this growth?🤨[conti]

As I asked one wise man about this, I said am I doing wrong while studying these subjects or are they of no worth? 

He said, it’s not like that, go and learn the way the business world works today through your subjects, study with developing focus, concentration, find and question your professors about the loopholes of the current system and you can even develop something of yours!! Like koutilya’s arthshastra. He said nothing goes waste, if you know with what attitude you are gaining the knowledge. 

What’s your view about the condition, and what can be the steps for me to make use of my subjects in right way while knowing the whole thing aims to destroy the nature.

The wise man is right. You should study to know the deeper truth about commerce and economics, and when the time comes, place it at the service of the Divine.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

What was being refered to are the stock and standard Bhajans which hardly fall into the true category. But there are beautiful soul-uplifting bhajans with equally beautiful music that flows from the depths which is even helpful at one stage of sadhana, especially in the preliminary stages. An example of the former type could be, ‘suna hai …

Dada, I watched the Movie Dhurandhar (Part 1 & 2). The struggle of the main character felt like a present-day Arjuna. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Is there any Spiritual Lesson we can take from it? 🏹😊🙏🏻🎞️🌻🎬

From the archetype point of view, the character of the main protagonist (hero) in this film is more like Abhimanyu except that it ends up with a happier fate. Like Abhimanyu, he enters into the enemy ranks from where coming out was near impossible. He is trained but inexperienced, again like Abhimanyu. He is valiant, courageous, puts …

In one of your lectures on “Planned Action and Divine Action,” you mentioned that when we are praised or felicitated, one should neither deny it nor take personal pride in it. 🙁🤷🏼‍♂️🪷✨[…]

Yes, if one looks within and finds that one has done what best one could do in a given situation, then one should remain inwardly quiet and see why one gets disturbed by the criticism. It is generally either because one expects some appreciation or praise or at least..
