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

It is a complete freedom from the past, from the world as organised by the gods. This clean slate is needed to make a clear ground for the New Creation.

The release from the conventions is the release from the laws and norms of the old creation. It is akin to the story of Daksha Prajapati whose laws and norms are overturned by Shiva and the sacrifice of Mata Sati….
