How to be involved in day-to-day activities with a mind engaged in consecration to the Divine, as one can focus on one thing at a time, or what should be the state of mind during worldly activities? Or how to constantly have the remembrance of the Divine during worldly affairs?🎯🧐🤔🧠🏹[...]

Or how could Arjuna do it when he was fervently involved in the Mahabharata War while constantly remembering the Lord, also as the way instructed by the Lord? I’m not able to remember constantly; it slips for hours repeatedly and it seems impossible to keep it up.🎯🧐🤔🧠

It is natural that this would happen in the beginning. What one should practice initially is to remember the Divine inwardly before and after the action and as often as possible in between, say during those little moments of lull that one gets in work. One can also take a conscious, deliberate pause from time to time to spend a few moments in inwardness.

During the flow of the work, try to be a witness watching the action and the inner reactions that keep rising within. This breaks the knot of getting lost in the work.

Keep the inner attitude that the work and its results do not belong to you. What is given to us is only the action at hand and it should be done as a service and worship of the Divine.

As a result, slowly, a background state develops in us which is a reflection of the Mother’s, full of peace, light, love. We have to then turn within only from time to time to just confirm.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Reflecting on The Mother’s words, “The divine force is with you – feel its presence more and more and be careful never to betray it,” what does it mean to betray this Force, and how does that betrayal happen? Could you explain how one can stay vigilant and avoid betraying its presence in daily life? 🔥🙏🏻

Sweet Mother,

We aspire to work all together towards the goal that Thou hast proposed to us…

1) Whenever I try to meditate, after some time I see a brief flash of a cobra’s hood for a fraction of a second. It isn’t very sharp—just a 3D gray patch with faintly outlined features. I don’t feel scared or uneasy. Why do I keep seeing this? 🐍🦉[…]

Cobra represents the urge to evolve or the beginning of the evolutionary process. It is obviously a good sign. Snakes in general represent fear, fears of various kinds that stand in the way of evolution.
