AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How should one face fate? Should one succumb to it๐Ÿ˜ฌ?

The attitude should be, “I refuse to succumb to fate; I will fight until the end.” Even if I do not succeed, I know that this is not the end and that there are other lives to live. Thus it is a combination of two attitudes that may seem contradictory but are complimentary. The first attitude is a graceful acceptance with humility and surrender to the Divine Will. The second is to aspire and will to change.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
