AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am unable to find any other refuge .. but can I depend entirely on the Divine, handing Him all my problems and worries .. holding on to Him and Him Alone .. taking refuge in Him Alone? and then taking all events in my life as His prasad, as gifts๐ŸŽ of His Grace .. ?

It doesn’t mean that one does not put the efforts needed to face the situation and come out of the inner and outer difficulties. It is the law of evolution and one cannot bypass it and yet one has to see these difficulties precisely to help us see some weakness in us and overcome it with the help of Her Grace.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Faith is the starting point of any journey. When one says that one must question everything doesn’t it imply faith in one’s ability to find the answer to everything? Doesn’t it also imply faith in the ability of the human mind to find the answer through the use of the sceptical intellect? Faith is the starting point of every journey. Its end is knowledge. …

Q1. Is human suffering viewed by the Divine as ultimately illusionary and mainly evolutionary or corrective in nature? The mind, life, and body seem to suffer, while the psychic being assimilates experience for growth โ€” as in Savitri, where the soul โ€œdrinks experience like a strengthening wine.โ€ Is this broadly correct? ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ‚

Yes in a way. But that does not mean that the Divine is indifferent to our suffering. He knows it, knows its true cause and is offering the real cure. It is like a physician who empathises even when he gives a…
