AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Can you give an example of eternal love๐Ÿ’—?

They understood that life extends beyond a single existence. The essence of eternal love is that it transcends time and space.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dear Alok da, “When you are conscious of the whole world at the same time, then you can become conscious of the Divine.” Every time I come across this New Year Message of the Mother, I am always puzzled. What does it mean ‘To be Conscious of the Whole World’ and how to become Conscious of the whole World at the same time? ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ˜ฏ๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒผ
