AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How can one maintain peace of mind, if one faces a property dispute court case, which by its very nature, is the killer of peace๐Ÿ˜ข?

If you regard anything as yours and desire it for personal pleasure then obviously there can be no peace. Desires, wants and peace don’t go together. So if one must find peace one must be unattached to these material things. When they are with you, you should use them as a trustee of the Divine. But equally if they are taken away it is not worth lamenting as money, apart from a certain limit needed for the basic maintainence of the framework of life and its important activities, is incidental (and not central) and in many ways an encumbrance. 

Besides the atmosphere of courts is full of falsehood and is best avoided unless you are fighting for some divine cause, in which case one always has peace.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
