AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How can I organize my thoughts better? I tend to overthink a lot about life, money and work? For example, if I need to give a presentation that can be prepared in 2 hours, I end up worrying about it for 2 days๐Ÿ˜“.

Learn to quieten the mind through the practice of witnessing and work, not for specific results, but for the joy of it, as a means to develop and progress.

I also find myself getting irritated with my loved one over small things. I’m married and struggle to manage multiple responsibilitiesโ€”my job, my studies (I’m taking classes), and household chores, even though it’s just the two of us at home.

It is because we are not really living our true life but drifting aimlessly according to the pressure and impulsions of the society and others. Discover your own aim and focus mainly on that. The rest will fall into place with time.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Hello Sir. I met a person 2 years ago. We didn’t talk personally, yet there was some exchange of feelings in silence. I didn’t see him for more than 6 months and also don’t know anything about him. When mind was vexed, I saw the mother’s message that ‘Love the Divine alone’. ๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŒท[…]

What you experiencing is not love but a kind of obsession wherein the image of the person is coming to the mind again and again. Love is something different. It is the urge to give oneself, to care, to do something for the person. It is not want but giving that is the hallmark of love.

Thinking about someone or loving someone is not going against The Mother. The Mother does not want that we don’t love anyone. It is just that human love is based so much and so often on the ego that very soon it turns…

During my weekly Pilates reformer sessions, I have experienced intense episodes of deja vu and past-life intimations, where time and space seem to slide open. ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

What you seemed to have is not so much a past life experience but rather an entry into another dimension of existence due to the intense exercise. It is another Time Space continuum you seem to have entered belonging to another plane of existence. It shows an innate ability for your consciousness to project out of the body and enter …
