AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am unable to concentrate on anything (reading, listening, work…), which is affecting my life. E.g., I buy books of my interest that I am unable to start to read, and I join courses that I am unable to finish. Please suggest how I can organise my life in a better way. 😓

Start by practicing and developing concentration on the one activity that naturally engages and arouses interest. Start with small steps such as reading one passage a day, taking up short courses etc. Later, one can develop it by extending the time duration. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Whenever I turn my attention inward or close my eyes, a very gentle current begins to descend—what is this? Secondly, during meditation, my consciousness follows wherever this current moves, and at times it spontaneously draws me deep into the heart. 💗🌊🧘🙏[…]

This soft flow is the psychic feeling. It originates from the depth of the heart and flows towards the rest of your nature. 

During concentration it is better to go deeper towards the source of this soft current in the depths of the heart. It will lead you to your soul.
