AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Difficult situations in life should make one stronger, but it has happened the opposite in my case. I have become more fearful after facing those difficulties of the past. Now, I tremble🫨 at the thought of any further difficult situations coming my way. Just to mention here – I have been taking antipsychotics for the past 15.2 years.

Yes some people react with fear and once fear sets in it attracts what is feared creating thereby a vicious cycle.

The solution is to increase faith and trust in yourself, in destiny and in the Divine. The medicine of course has to be as advised by the physician. 

I am a bit scared and hesitant to take refuge in the Divine because I feel that the Divine would put me in more difficult situations if I take refuge in Him, as compared to, if I don’t take refuge in Him?

Who else should one then take refuge in? One’s limited intellect? oversensitive vital?? Why would the Divine put anyone into difficulties? There are plenty of reasons for having difficulties. The Divine is certainly not one of them. In fact, He is there to remove them. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
