AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How can I guide and support my younger sibling during his college placement season? While many of his peers are already getting placed in companies, my sibling is taking a bit longer. Sometimes this makes him feel discouraged because of peer pressure and the competitive environment. How should I motivate him, help him stay confident, and guide him in improving his preparation without losing hope๐Ÿค”?

Your understanding and being with him is itself a big support. We may not be always able to change outer circumstances the way we wish but we can always help by being a pillar of support. 

However it is helpful to understand what are his areas of interest, his natural temperament, his strong points and weaknesses. By becoming conscious of these, he can improve the chances of finding the right place meant for him rather than toeing the common line of that everybody is taking.

The Divine Presence is known through identity and its attendant results. The sense of the false and limited I, the constructed ego-self in which we live with all its attendant results of like and dislike, I-ness and My-ness, fall off. That does not mean we don’t know the …
