AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How can I cultivate patience when things aren’t going my way๐Ÿ˜“? I recognize that my karma is at play, and I know I should chant prayers, but I’m struggling to find the patience within myself.

Patience is connected with faith in God and trust that the Divine Wisdom knows what is best for us. Desires cause restlessness and expectations. Surrender to the Divine brings peace.ย 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

They often compare this with countries like China and Japan, where people are perceived to follow their cultural traditions more rigorously and preserve them with strong social discipline. According to this view, todayโ€™s generation is more distant from traditional customs than previous generations. Interestingly, this concern is most often expressed by people in their 30s and 40s ๐Ÿชท๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ๐Ÿ“œ

I am not sure about China and Japan of today. There is a general decline in culture everywhere and it is not without its purpose. The causes may be different, foremost of all being a pervading Western view of life and the instant gratification it brings. An insatiable vital hunger has been awakened, hunger for food, dress, pleasure of …

I saw a quote from Paramahansa Yogananda ji, where he said that God yearns for our love because that is the only thing that is not readily available for him. While I respect his words, I feel a bit confused because I have also heard that the Divine wants nothing (Bhagavad Gita). What is the truth behind this?๐Ÿน๐ŸŽ๐Ÿš

It is a little human way of putting it but there is a profound truth in it that has been corroborated by all the bhaktas. Sri Aurobindo himself has described this in quite a detail in chapters on the Mystery of Divine Love in the Synthesis of Yoga….
