AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How can I cultivate patience when things aren’t going my way😓? 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. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
