AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How should one deal with comparison to peers and feelings of inadequacy or inferiority? Even if I logically know it is not the correct response and everyone is on their own journey, I panic every time I see someone reach a milestone and feel shame, sadness, and urgency about the things that haven’t worked out for me😓.

It is not enough to say that everyone has their own unique goal. True though it is, yet it remains at best an intellectual conception, until we find our own unique goal.

As long as we are standing on one spot and we see people run or walk past us we will keep having the impression that we are on the same track and in the same race. What is important to discover our own track, whether it be through the hills or the meadows, the forest or the plains, one needs to be clear about the road upon which we feel inclined to walk.

And for that the most important condition is to discover one’s aim, the goal of your life. Once we discover that then the rest becomes easy since we are on the track meant for us and others on their own. So spend time on reflecting upon your unique goal and you will see the jigsaw puzzle of life including what bylanes one took so far fall in place.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dogs are generally fine. The dream represents some kind of a conflict of faith that is somewhere and in some way affecting or influencing the psychic being (the child) whom you are trying to safeguard and are successful in doing so.

He was sitting in the first room in the veranda where people sit around the Samadhi. The room closest to the entrance toward the Meditation Hall. Do you know who it could be? 😇🙏🏼🌸✉️

The first room in the Verandah around the Samadhi and in the courtyard as it turns towards the Meditation Hall is Dyuman bhai. He did give blessing packet. But he left his body in 1991. Most of the sadhaks living around inside …
