AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I keep wanting to be at the Ashram, this is how I feel every day and many times. I feel like I’m convincing myself to be here forcefully, getting only parts of me temporarily attached to a perspective or a decision. This just doesn’t feel absolute enough, and even though They’re everywhere and always with us, my nature felt closer there and it felt hopeful, receptive and faith also felt stronger. I also strongly feel I need to offer so much more of my mind, will, heart, sense of identity too, and I feel I’ve bound these up for partial reasons. I don’t feel deterred by the difficulties you described, not because I’m so strong, but because that’s the only way towards the one important thing. Why do I feel this way, is it unrelated to aspiration, but just a mental or vital insistence? 🌳🪷✨🌸🕊️

Come then. Take a leap of faith with trust in Her Grace. Remember these words of the Mother.

But my question here is that many gyani margi saints like Raman mahrisi, Nisargdatt and so on …. I never know whether their followers had spontaneous and sometimes uncontrolled kriyas happening with the many time for years. They say sometimes energies of kali sometimes lord Narsimha etc doing things with them. They say it’s release process going on , blockages etc. Is it possible for a very naive or not so developed spiritual aspirant to experience nondoership…🦁 🌋 ⚡ 🌊

These radical awakenings are certainly suspect. Every path has a certain practice, especially the effort at self-purification. These sudden seemingly marvellous experiences are generally the

One more thing is that there is a lot of disturbance around me and I am facing some trouble, like if I sit peacefully at home and do not give any reply to anyone then I face trouble, father is a very alcoholic person and the people who know him outside think that he is crazy, so can I come to Sri Arvind Ashram and do penance for 2-3 months? And what will have to be done for this?🗣️💥👪💔

I understand your situation but there is no such provision of doing an isolated Sadhana here. Sadhana here is primarily through work. Of course one

I see a light on the Ajna Chakra, initially it is very small, then on paying more attention to it the light turns into a round shape, then on paying attention to it a black round appears in the middle of that round light, then when I concentrate on that black round then my concentration goes deeper as if I am going into an infinite space, then that black round turns into a small, very small point of light.🟣 👁️ ✨ 🧘‍♂️

The circle of Light and dark centre are the twin powers of Knowledge and Ignorance. Bindu, the luminous point is your soul, the jivatma hidden

Last night I had a dream which I believe had a message. The dream went like this. I was entering my house when this cat came with its little kitten at my doorstep. The cat was looking at me with pleading eyes and indicating me to take care of the kitten. The kitten was tiny and gray in colour. It seemed to be mewing in pain. I felt pity, so I took it in. There was a party going on at my house but I didn’t pay much attention to it. I briefly greeted everyone and went in my room. Then I looked at the Mother’s photo and prayed to her. I told her that I didn’t know how to take care of the kitten but I wanted to help it…💭💤🌜😴

The cat is the vital part in you that is sensitive to occult forces and feels them instinctively. The kitten is some new possibility that
