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

Dada, nowadays I feel a strong pressure that comes from my heart and spreads to every part of my body. It has extended to the sex part also. That pressure is very strong; it seems the pressure has consumed all parts of my being. It is also affecting my biological heart. That pressure gives a strong peace, the right direction, sincerity, and easily rejects the lower movement. ๐Ÿ™‚โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒผ
