AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am worried that I am not actually helping myself as She is helping me. This grace is more than I deserve😟.

That is why it is Grace. It acts without any human calculation. It condemns none and comes to all without judging us, with the aim of redeeming us from our present fallen state of ignorance, suffering and pain.

But few recognise its working since we are looking only for ways and means to satisfy our longings instead of the needed progress. And the Grace comes not only to heal us but to push us towards progress so that we may become immune to all suffering.

Some open to it and receive and welcome it with love and surrender and gratitude while some resist and stand in the way of its working. That is all that we can do, – collaborate with its wonderful and powerful action or resist it. Yet in the end it is Grace that has the final victory. It is THE Hope for the creation, the reason why man can still dare the impossible.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
