AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Can you give an example of eternal lovešŸ’—?

In India, there are two examples of such eternal love: Rama and Sita, and Radha and Krishna. Their love is considered immortal because it was independent of Time and Space or any outer conditions. They understood that life extends beyond a single existence. The essence of eternal love is that it transcends time and space.

Affectionately,

Da, whenever I see some incident or read something, thoughts come to my mind and I feel like telling people about it. Like yesterday was Vat Savitri Purnima—I saw in the market that small branches of the banyan tree were being sold, and women were buying them and doing puja with them. Then I started thinking, how can we worship the banyan tree after breaking it? I started wondering about the real meaning behind it—it doesn’t seem right. After all these thoughts, I felt like writing about it and posting it on WhatsApp status, but then I didn’t. These kinds of thoughts keep coming to me, and I feel like sharing them with others, but when I try to write, I stop. So I end up telling Mummy, Didi, or Kunal. But Alok da, how should I write or tell people—or should I not say anything? Then I worry people might misunderstand and think I’m criticizing tradition. Like breaking the banyan tree might become a ritual and the true meaning of Vat Savitri Purnima could be lost or misunderstood. Alok da, I keep getting such thoughts on different topics, that something should be this way or that way, but I can’t put them into words. So how do I express these thoughts or feelings—or is it okay if I don’t? But if someone talks about the same topic at the time, I do speak up. I just can’t write it. And one more thing—when it was my parents’ birthday, I thought I would write a WhatsApp status expressing my feelings for them, but in the end I only wrote ā€˜Happy birthday, Divine bless you, love you.’ I couldn’t write or even say my true feelings in front of them. So how should I express my thoughts and emotions? Or is it okay if I don’t?

You should write in a diary to the Divine and express yourself freely in front of God. Later, if He feels it is necessary and helpful for all He will create the necessary outer conditions and give you the…
