AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

How do we control overthinking? I mean, we try to reason with ourselves — telling ourselves, “Hey, these things happen; everything is fine. Such situations come and go; that’s just life — it has its ups and downs, and eventually, things will get better.” Yet, despite understanding all of this, our mind simply refuses to accept it and continue to overthink. So, what exactly can we do about that?🤯🌀🌫️🫠

It happens because the mind turns in a narrow grove. To widen the grove, one needs to broaden one’s interests and activities as well as fix for oneself a high goal. The mind then gets engaged meaningfully in a wide movement. The thirst for progress leaves little room for worrying or thinking about the small or big issues of personal life. Basically, it means to think less and less about one’s inconveniences, about the situations and circumstances,  and more and more about all that one has to learn and know and progress. Be a burning fire of progress and stay focused on the aims or the aim you have placed before yourself, regardless of the people and situations around you. 

Affectionately,

The best way is to completely ignore him, and if you cannot do so then remain inwardly totally indifferent to him. The best response to people who are hypercritical is complete indifference. The more you try to explain, the more they justify. The more you concede, the more they increase the criticism. But indifference completely flattens them…

What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signify—is peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? 🕉️🕊️

Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the Divine, seemingly equal and non-reactive like Shiva bearing and upholding the dance of Kali upon his chest or the ocean holding its tremendous energy by its own power of self-limitation. maryada. It is a state of concentrated ingatheredness like the mountains or a vast Silence …
