AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Life Problems And Psychological Difficulties

I feel that by nature, my mind is quite restless. I don’t find comfort in peaceful or quiet places. For instance, when I once visited Samadhi, I stepped out almost immediately, I just couldn’t bear the silence. I’ve tried meditation too, but it didn’t work for me. I think the reason is that I came to materialistic pleasures a bit later in life, so my mindset is: let me enjoy them first. Maybe, once I grow tired of all this, I’ll begin to seek peace. Perhaps only then will I truly understand the value of Samadhi. In my understanding, spirituality is equal to peace😄.

One never gets tired of pleasure except temporarily. Pleasures, whether material or vital, are like an addiction. It satiates temporarily but never satisfies. It returns

Why do people say that money can’t buy happiness or peace? With money, we can buy branded things that bring joy. We can fulfill parents’ dreams and our own. We can afford all the material comforts we desire, and these things make us feel happy and content. If we want to visit the Ashram, we can easily go, and that gives us peace. Money gives us the freedom to travel the world, which also brings happiness and peace. So, doesn’t money actually make it easier to experience these thingsšŸ™„?

Of course if buying branded cloth, traveling around the world, fulfilling parent’s dreams and material comforts is all that one seeks then surely money may

I often feel pressured to get married, buy a house, a car, and follow all the typical expectations society sets. Even though deep down I’m not someone who genuinely wants marriage, I still get influenced when I see others tying the knot, having children, and making good money. It sometimes makes me question my own choices 😄and the direction of my life. They seem to be living happy, fulfilling lives and that sometimes leaves me wondering if I’m missing out.

First thing needed is be clear about the goal of one’s life. Whether marraige can give happiness or not is a later consideration. First thing

I have a really big problem. I’ve been through lots in life and when it just seemed to get a little brighter again its sort of plunged. And I feel so weak at heart, not because of anybody else but myself. I have everything in life outwardly, but I was so depressed before. Then I had a psychic opening and everything became light and sun, but I’ve lost it now and this time I’m in some deep darkness that is worse than anything I’ve felt before. [Conti]

The first thing is to stop believing in the night and get into the mire of self-blame, guilt etc which only makes matters worse. There

There’s something very fascinating about the apocalyptic imagery to the human mind from ancient flood mythologies to the fascination with nuclear armageddon, something in the spirit craves destruction and blowing it all up, Many actually crave Kali’s dance of destruction. How to understand this psychological impulse and phenomenon😐?

Yes, human mind is always caught between these two forces, Love and Death. Love gives birth to new life, nurtures and nourishes it, releases the

My grandmother is a very pessimistic and depressive person. And I noticed that relating tends to attract some accidents and bad luck in my life. She always says things like ā€œI don’t wanna liveā€. But because she is so alone in life I feel a certain sense of guilt if I don’t relate to her and speak with her more often. Am I a heartless person if I choose not to sympathize with her self-pity and thus stay away😄?

Each one is responsible for what they do, the attitudes they take and the inevitable consequences they have to go through. No one can undo

I am in a very trapped situation😩, I love someone and he also loves me but he is married and now has a son too, my family came to know about it, he tells me that you will commit a sin, you will have to face the curse of that boy, on top of this I love him a lot but I am not able to accept his son, I am not able to understand what is the true Dharma for me, I am praying to The Mother again and again but am not getting any answer.

Love has little to do with wants and cravings and desires. These things distort the true movement of love and hence almost invariably lead to

Old age is often called second childhood and we see the elderly expressing their repressed desires when they are of a ripe ageā„ļø. They seem to become especially vulnerable and act more and more child-like as they near their death. What are the ways in which we can cultivate a luminous attitude while we are relatively young, so that we remain sane, healthy and balanced even when we turn old and keep serving the Divine and live under the Divine Grace constantly?

The best attitude is to keep the face turned towards the future, to always want to learn something, know something, do something new or do

I feel completely lost and depressed. Nothing in my life is going the way I want. My job isn’t giving me the financial stability I desire, and no matter how hard I try, I feel stuck. My wife left me, my girlfriend left me, and I have no one to turn to. I come home to an empty space, and it feels unbearable. Sometimes, I don’t even want to come home at all, I just want to disappear. The loneliness is crushing. I long for a life partner, someone to stand by me, but no one ever stays. Is it wrong to want that? Is it too much to ask for someone who truly cares? I drink just to escape these thoughts, but the pain always comes back. I don’t know how much longer I can keep going like this.

First thing first. Nothing and nobody is or should be more important than your own life and progress, unless you are in love, which is
