AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How can I be sure that I am on the right spiritual path๐Ÿง?

By growth of inner peace and joy, by growth of faith and aspiration and the urge to progress, by growth of sincerity and surrender, by growth of equanimity and of will, by the opening of the mind to a spontaneous understanding of spiritual and higher truths, one knows one is on the right path. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
