AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am obese and have related knee pain (osteoarthritis) and the doctor told if i don’t reduce weight i will have to undergo knee replacement within few years. I have other problems as well due to obesity. The doctors have prescribed Rybelsus 3 mg for weight loss. But i have heard about the side effects like hair loss, loose skin, gall bladder removal, and that the medicine has to be taken life long. I am not sure if I should start this medicine or rely only on gym for weight loss. Please guide.🙏🥺💊

If your weight is part of the heredity factor then there is nothing to worry. Your body mechanisms know how to handle it. If your body weight cannot be attributed to heredity then there is a need to investigate for any underlying factors especially endocrine. Either ways worrying about it and centering your life around the physical body is the worst way to handle it. Turn your mind towards other much more important things than the body. It is enough if the body is given regular exercises so as to remain fit. I have met some very beautiful obese people who were loved by everyone because they exuded positivity and love and joy. There have been, on the other hand many who look very beautiful but are extremely difficult persons who turn life into a veritable hell. So while physical fitness is important, let it not preoccupy your mind space tol much. Do regular walking and exercises and avoid weight reduction medicines or surgeries that were designed for places and people for whom the body is everything. 

Affectionately,

You wrote that the beings residing in Sri Krishna’s abode would wish to be here in order to enrich themselves. I would like to understand whether this means that the souls presently residing in Sri Krishna’s eternal abode would be able to come to the divine world that will manifest on Earth in the future. 🦚🌍

The beings in higher worlds as for example Goloka are not necessarily souls. The soul is a portion of the Divine that enters the earth and goes through the evolutionary process and return to the Divine, either to rest permanently in Him annulling itself completely or else to be part of the higher worlds as for example Devrishi …

I’m curious to know about your views on spirituality becoming so widespread in today’s world. We see spiritual figures having millions of followers on YouTube and other social media platforms. To me, it looks like a business and not spirituality. 🌱🧭[…]

Spiritual evolution has been going on since some time now. Its eventual purpose is to evolve humanity beyond the vital-mental man he now is to the spiritual and eventually the divine superhumanity of the future. Until now this spiritual evolution was confined to a few prominent personalities who tried to communicate it to the followers who almost invariably reduced it to a Religion with mental rules and regulations. Nevertheless mankind …

A strange dream just before I woke up this morning: I saw that I was consoling my father, hugging him about a situation where he was soon going to die, and at that time I felt a sensation of a very big snake passing by as if its body touched me; I also heard its hissing sound and saw its big tail end. 🐍💭[…]

This seems to be a premonitory dream and the snake seems to be ‘Kaalsarp’ (Time-snake) that chases us. We can either heed to its warning and evolve swiftly or else get paralysed with fear. So it seems that your father (and you too by default) has entered this phase of either an evolutionary leap or else a succumbing down to the evolutionary pressure and the challenges…
