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

Respected Alok da, 1) I want to progress. With the work I am currently doing, I feel as though I am not learning anything new. Deep down, there is a longing for what the Mother has chosen for me to be revealed, and for my path of action to be connected with Sri Maa. (I know no work is small or bigger, just want to know this is for me.) 😊🙏🏻🌾

It is not easy. That is why at first one should practice the karmayoga, that means doing everything with a nishkama bhav, expecting nothing from anyone. Whatever be the work and to whomsoever it may be outwardly directed, inwardly you should consecrate it to the Mother and do it only for Her. As to outer situations and ..

I am reading Letters on Yoga for 2 hours at night; initially, I was able to build a certain amount of concentration…. But for the last two days, I can’t. Many thoughts come and distract, most of the time, X’s memories, our intimate moments and many other thoughts come and drive me away. 📖😣🦋🌻[…]

These are obviously attacks by forces that want to obstruct the gyana yagya that you have begun. Don’t pay much attention to these distractions and continue reading. Keep offering to the Mother and they will leave you.
