AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

The way of having fun for children has changed; now they like video game arcades, loud music, violent movies, Insta reels, etc. How to bring back the simpler times and have them understand the simpler joys of life? ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿป๐ŸŽฎ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ“ฑโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Here, it is the parents to be blamed, who themselves engage in the very same things.ย  They are busy earning money and have little time for children. This is due to a change of values wherein we have adopted the materialistic view of the West, abandoning our swadharma. The parents, teachers and the goals of life must change, else the children are being pushed towards a disaster.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

I understand that we should live in the present moment and remain open to the Divine Will. However, I find it difficult because I do not really enjoy the work I am presently doing. How can I remain peaceful, sincere, and open to the Divine while being fully present in a work that I do not enjoy? ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

The Gita gives us the complete answer to this problem.ย 

First thing is to take up an activity that is in line with your swabhava, your innate temperament. If one does not know that then one should study oneself, one’s interests, tendencies, natural qualities and capacities and try to see how they can be best put to use in the work you are doing…
