AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am angry with my Nana. He wanted to keep a brunch for nonsense reasons and to waste time, and the other day I wanted to keep my birthday party. He first wanted to keep it on Sunday, and Mumma told me, ‘Keep your Birthday on Saturday, as on Sunday, none of your friends will come’. 😠🎂🎈[…]

I wanted to keep on Sunday, but it’s Okay. Now he wants to keep on Saturday, so Mumma convinced me to keep on Sunday. I did not know that because of my Nana, my Birthday was shifted. One day after that, he told me to send the link of the Birthday gift I wanted, and I got to know on WhatsApp. I got so angry that because of your silly brunch, my birthday was shifted 3 times. And I have decided that I will not go, and also Mumma won’t go to the waste of time brunch. And I want to tell him that, ‘you are not coming to my birthday. Because of you, my Birthday Party has been shifted from here to there 3 times’. Just for 4 hrs of nonsense and people’s time wasted in the worst possible way… What should I do?

I understand your frustration, but then it is only the strong who can sacrifice something they desire for the sake of their loved one. You can respond to this upsetting of your plans with anger or learn to adapt according to the changing circumstances. The first way of anger will lead to friction and unhappiness in everyone, which will actually spoil your birthday. The second way of adaptation will help you progress and grow stronger, and ultimately happier. The choice is yours.

Lots of love always

The purpose is inbuilt within us as the tree is held back within the seed. So too the soul within is the seed within and its purpose is to realise, express and thereby fulfil the Divine Possibility or the Divine Purpose within it. It happens through a process of unfolding across lives. As we draw closer to the soul the more we feel conscious of …

What is the true identity of “Mām” in Gita 10.3? If Krishna’s physical form is no longer physically accessible post-disappearance, does “Mām” point to the eternal Atman / Supreme Consciousness rather than the embodied Avatara? 📖🕉️

Sri Krishna himself answers this in the Gita. He is not there as the physical Krishna since He declares Krishna as one of his vibhutis, – ‘I am Krishna among the Vrishnis, Rama among those who have paurush….’.

Nor is he the Atman that is present in all. He declares Himself to be both Kshara and Akshara as the Purushottama, the Avatar.
