AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Even if there is Maya dragging us away from the Divine, instead of shunning and running away from it, why don’t we face it as A Divine Power by dipping all the Vishayas (Rasa, Roopa, Gandha, Sparsha, Shabda). into The Divine Rasa, and make them Divine, and enjoy them as Divine Prasad with the mind offered to The Divine? ❤️‍🔥

 Yes, we should experience it as the Divine experiences these objects. Enjoying them as Divine Prasad, and be ready to leave them if He so wills. If we simply say intellectually that it is Divine Prasad, but are fearful of losing it, then we are only using a spiritual justification for our imperfection. We have to put away all rajasic attachment to worldly things and deal with them first through sattwa. Then later, we go beyond Sattwa and look at them as Divine gifts that we should be ready to leave at any moment. In other words, a firm foundation in equanimity. Then later, we can talk about transmuting the senses and experiencing these objects as the Divine does. Skipping these steps will not help. 

Including Death as a vehicle carrying us one more step closer to The Divine.

We can take death as a passage, but then it carries only the soul forward towards the Divine, not the nature, not the body. So it doesn’t solve the problem, only postpones it.

Affectionately,

I want to detach myself from those feelings i have towards him?

What has happened has happened. It serves no purpose looking back and feeling bad. Life gives several learning lessons. This is one of them and a very precious one. One needs to understand that the way a woman feels and experiences life is very different from the …

My niece is in Class-9th. She is facing some problems in her class. Students ignore her in the class. She is good at studies. They say she has an attitude. She says that she feels alone in the class, especially during recess. 🏫🤝🌼[…]

Children who are either above or below the average face this isolation in the class. It is more so if the child is inwardly more developed as your niece is. Instead of trying to change to find friends she should learn to accept herself as she is and wait till she discovers someone who shares her tastes and temperament. She will find a few …
