AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

I’ll also try to follow the same way as told by You in terms of non-indulgence in useless chatter and mundane talks. It does affect the energies I can now feel it and many a times I do it to make other person happy because there is nothing else to talk about. Very few are interested in talking about spiritual matters so we end up talking politics, money matters, celebrities and other useless gossips. What should I do?πŸ—£οΈπŸ‘₯πŸ΅πŸ‘‚

Yes. Growing up is work, the greater the goal and higher the climb, greater the work. But it is fully worth it as every little

Its been quite a while like about 3-4 years..whenever I go to a party or a gathering basically a place full of people (if I know them or not) while in that moment or after coming back home I feel like my inner self is mourning something. It can literally be felt as if its screaming and it comes out externally as wanting to cry but I am never able to cry this thing out. I cannot figure out why this is happening and I call Maa to help me.Β But why is this happening Alok da?Β πŸͺπŸ–€πŸŒͺ️

It is a psychic sorrow when it finds itself in a world of falsehood full of artificial lights, hollowness and false glamours.

The difficulties are there but the Grace is also there and in proportion to our difficulties.

Remember the Divine Mother and offer all you are

My better half and myself are on the same path following Sri Ma & Sri Aurobindo . Our son’s green card is expiring in September of this year . He needs to apply for his citizenship or get his go extended . She says that she has asked Sri Ma & that he should apply for his citizenship only. & that I should wholeheartedly accept and leave it at that? I am trying to, but old habits die hard!πŸͺ·πŸ’–β˜€οΈπŸ›£οΈ

Acceptance of the Divine Will and surrender to the Divine Mother is the royal road to reconciling everything that jars with our understanding and expectations

Suppose I do a wrong karma knowingly like told a little lie to my friend. Then he suffered a little though a small suffer, still he suffered only because of my just a silly lie. Then definitely it returned to me & I felt it. Then I smiled, Oh; due to my morning lie I just came across this situation in the afternoon. Question is any karma can be melt by The Divine?πŸͺƒπŸ”„πŸŽ‘βš–οΈπŸ‘οΈ

There are plenty of examples but that apart, the law of karma is never about reward and punishment! It is not a tribunal of justice

I’m studying economics and decided to make it the major of my further studies.Β But! Today I noticed many limitations of the subject, it is advocated as a science but actually it is just a social science with some mathematical tools, and that doesn’t make it science.Β The great depression, US Real estate bubble, enron scandal… All these proved that the assumptions of economics about the FREE MARKETS like Prices are fixed through Demand and Supply (then why over or under prices?), There is always Rational behaviour (How can Rational behaviour give rise to a bubble?), these are nothing but fairy and fantasies.Β 

All human subjects are limited because they have been studied by human beings through the lens of their ignorance. It is idle to suppose one

But at the same time I find one who is not engaged in pursuit of name, fame or wealth in society often ends up indulging in smoking up and drugging in the name of spirituality.Β One can very conveniently say I’m not looking for external validations (or the stars here ) fool themselves by saying they are looking for the sun. Talk yoga. But then seek these frivolities. How to know if one is seeking truth and wisdom, love and harmony, peace and illumination? 🧘πŸͺ·πŸŒŸ

It is a question of inner sincerity. But that is not the point. The truth of things does not depend upon who or how many

From a materialistic worldly perspective, I don’t have anything substantial with me. All I have is the daily grind of earning a livingβ€”nothing more. I don’t know why I couldn’t progress further in life. Even though I have a family with a daughter, I haven’t been able to build a house or secure a well-paying job. As long as I live, I have to keep doing some work or the other. There’s no guarantee of age or health for me. I have no complaints about this life, but somewhere, the need for money keeps arising.πŸ›οΈπŸ’°βŒšπŸ“¦

Fate is always a mixed baggage for everyone. The silver lining is that despite the rigors and the challenges, despite the stresses and the sufferings

Dear Alokda, Can you please tell me how I reject this type of music and can you also tell me some good music which can help in Sadhana and staying close to the Divine Mother? I love listening to music, have explored a lot of genres but I end up going back to listen to western Hippop a lot. But my inner conscience is not happy with the type of lyrics that I hear, because all they talk about is money, women, violence, drugs and other asuric characteristics . On other side there is a bit gentler melodic music in which they sing about being caught up in emotions, attachment and hopelessness. 🎡🎢🎧🎀

I am glad you have understood the concept very well. It is a common confusion because each age is flooded with the most popular music

My question is on the part where you mentioned about people who sacrifice for greater love like creative writersΒ  or leaders. In the closing sentence, you mention social duty. Please clarify my misunderstanding – I have always considered sacrificing for nation or inspiring others as social duty. What qualifies as a social duty? And how can one become a sacrifice and another an attachment?Β πŸ–‡οΈπŸ”—πŸ‘₯🀝

Social duties are primarily those born out of social relationships as an accepted convention in a given society. They are not truth but they help

What is this phenomenon, and why does this happen and more importantly how can watch shows or movies in a detached way? I had a question regarding movies. I like watching different movies. But I have noticed that whenever I watch movies it has an effect like I have become the character so I feel the feelings of the character. πŸŽ¬πŸŽžοΈπŸ“½οΈπŸΏ

We are not made up of a single piece. There are many different parts in us that are normally suppressed. These parts sometimes express themselves

People here are calling me a gossip monger because I happened to have confided into a few people (X & Y) around me about how another person(Z) ‘s behavior made me feel bad at a point of time. I never told that Z is bad but told I felt bad because of Z. I feel there is a difference between the two. I am feeling drained here at my workplace What to do, Alok Da? Kindly tellπŸ—£οΈπŸ‘₯πŸπŸ“’

It is a lesson of life and often a painful lesson that it is best to focus upon one’s progress and never ever to discuss
