AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Dear Alok da, is getting married, buying a house, and achieving all the materialistic milestones what society considers as “being settled”? Is that truly the case? How can we discover our own definition of being settled😏?

One is never settled with these outer things because man does not live by bread alone and a home is not made by bricks alone. Human beings are programed to remain unsettled of sort until they find a meaning and purpose of their life. House, money, position etc can provide some outer comfort and a framework for physical life and vital existence. But the mind and soul seek higher and deeper things always. Of course there are a class of human beings who are human in appearance but whose deeper emotional, intellectual and spiritual life is largely asleep. They may feel satisfied with these material things for a while though even they are restless wanting more and more or saving and growing their earnings. Desires and ambitions never let a man rest even if he has outwardly everything in the world. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I have a question: is it bad if one of my goals is to earn money? I want to do so because I don’t have to rely on anybody else, and I can do things I would want to do and do my Bhakti and Yoga, and no one could stop me just because I don’t have enough money to take care of myself and my family.

It is simply a means to buy certain outer comforts. It can also be used to make the outer life more beautiful and even to help the Divine Work. The lowest …

I was in the middle of a dream where I heard a voice saying, “Wrap the blanket properly up to the soles of your feet.” Hearing that voice, I suddenly woke up. Right in front of my bed, a photo of Mata ji was placed. As soon as I woke up, I felt as if a crying sound was coming from the photo and the entire photo was shaking. Why did this happen? 🖼️😶‍🌫️🌸🦋[…]

These images generally arise from the subconscient. There might be some forces at play trying to create mischief. It is difficult to say where these forces came from or what opened the doors. The Mother certainly does not cry. The seeing of tears and the sound …

First I had a type of belief system like nothing wrong can happen to me because Maa is with me, now it’s like anything can happen to me, but I believe Maa is with me and about fear I have fear like fear for maintaining position in class, fear like what others will think about me in each steps, fear like fear to indulge in a conflict or the recent issues, fear like what if I died living an ordinary life. ☺️🌼🚶🏼‍♂️🦋[…]

I don’t know why you switched from nothing can happen to everything can happen. Surely the Divine Grace protects else this world would have been destroyed 10 times over by human beings. Of course the Divine Grace does not boast about how much and how many times it has saved and helped every creature regardless of …
