Truly, it gives emotional satisfaction, at least for now, that heart and nature can indeed be purified. I’ve been reading and understanding Mother and Gurudev’s words… especially that total change of consciousness, complete reversal of consciousness and a radical change of nature are the issue. ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

Turn whole-heartedly to the Divine Mother, hand over yourself and all your difficulties to Her. Call Her Name as often as you can. Read Savitri

The idea of โ€‹โ€‹dedicating every event and thought in our lives to the Divine is truly noble; it has deeply resonated with me. In fact, our scriptures and authoritative texts clearly articulate this very principle. However, I am unsure about what I should learn or how I should begin. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

The idea of living for the Divine, becoming an instrument of the Divine, must change into a living aspiration for the Divine. It is aspiration,

After I wrote to you, since then Mother has taken away the sting and bitterness and recoil I was feeling every time I thought about the incident. I will try to do what you say, but I feel ill-equipped to teach her these values of resilience and detachment when I struggle so much with them.

Please accept my sincere regards. I have never been able to fully understand what this world truly is. Yet amidst this crowd, this noise, and this illusion, finding God perhaps is the most difficult journey of all. Sometimes it feels as though He exists everywhere, and at other times, it seems an entire lifetime may pass in the search for Him. ๐ŸŒโœจ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

I have a question, Alok Da: I recently experienced a profound, day-long state of healing, peace and detachment after contemplating that true divinity lies beyond all determinations. By consciously releasing my sense of being the “doer” and shifting to “Thy Will be done,” I moved from a state of critical analysis to one of surrender. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

What you tried earlier is the way of discernment characteristic of gyana yoga. Here one relies almost entirely upon one’s own efforts.

I had a curious dream and I remember it perfectly, so I wanted to consult you about it. I saw a picture from a distant and elevated place. In the picture, I saw a one floor building, in a shape of a perfect square and with no roof on it. The building was further sectioned into 4 perfect squares. There were also non ๐ŸŒ™โœจ […]
