AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Does everyone experience depersonalisation derealisation kind of feeling sometime in life🤨?

Not necessarily. Most are very happy with life as it is, comfortable with the world as it presently is. It is only those few who feel that the world is not what it is meant to be, it does not reflect the Ideal one hopes to find. Hence a sense of being a stranger to the world and its ways comes from time to time and is often accompanied by the depersonalisation and derealisation experience.

What if this feeling stays for longer and longer? Can it be because of the gap between the reality and my expectations from myself? or too much social media access. But it’s scary. It’s like I’m on autopilot all day and grow conscious once in a while and feel foreign in the body.

I can understand. It is because the link between your inner consciousness and the physical body is not strong. It makes you quite sensitive to subtle things but also bit vulnerable to the play of subtle forces. You must do vigorous physical workout to strengthen the link with the body. With passage of time it will grow stronger. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

But there are beautiful soul-uplifting bhajans with equally beautiful music that flows from the depths which is even helpful at one stage of sadhana, especially in the preliminary stages. An example of the former type could be, ‘suna hai …

From the archetype point of view, the character of the main protagonist (hero) in this film is more like Abhimanyu except that it ends up with a happier fate. Like Abhimanyu, he enters into the enemy ranks from where coming out was near impossible. He is trained but inexperienced, again like Abhimanyu. He is valiant, courageous, puts …

In one of your lectures on “Planned Action and Divine Action,” you mentioned that when we are praised or felicitated, one should neither deny it nor take personal pride in it. 🙁🤷🏼‍♂️🪷✨[…]

Yes, if one looks within and finds that one has done what best one could do in a given situation, then one should remain inwardly quiet and see why one gets disturbed by the criticism. It is generally either because one expects some appreciation or praise or at least..
