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
