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 havenโ€™t worked out for me๐Ÿ˜“.

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

These are nothing else but intellectual e exercises indulged by people who are afraid of surrender or do not want to do it. It is the mind playing games with itself. It is the mind trying to create opposites and thereby compel one side, a better side no doubt, to compel the other. But the human mind cannot be conquered so easily by the ..

I want to come to the Ashram, but the circumstances are not favorable. Should we wait, as everything has its own time? Or does it depend solely upon us? ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿชท

One should not precipitate things. Faith and surrender to the Divine Grace are the best inner state. Patience and learning to wait with a quiet aspiration growing steadily within are a wonderful help in reorganizing the circumstances. Thus one should keep growing in one’s aspiration until it becomes imperative to come and one …
