AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I don’t feel like do anything. It seems that aspiration and will are being exhausted. Earlier, there was so much devotion, there was aspiration and there was a desire for progress, but now only destruction is visible on all sides. Why are there so many difficulties😥? Mind, vital, physical all are creates obstacles. Neither to study nor to make efforts, no one can do it. Without any reason the mind doubts. As this is his habit. The automatic sees any thing and suddenly judge it. I am not experiencing anything and it feels like I am not progressing. One thing has happened during this, I have realized that the evil that is in everyone’s heart is also in my heart. Why does this happen and what should I do in this situation?

These are phases that come in every seekers life because there are many parts and aspects in us. That is why taking to spiritual life too early especially during adolescence is not very desirable as the challenges are many. It is only when we have gone through the experiences of life keeping the right attitude that we become ready for the plunge. Until then one should read spiritual books, scriptures but also try to study well, meet the various challenges such as of job and relationship while practicing equanimity. Then after the ups and downs the flame of aspiration can be steady and the progress be uninterrupted. It takes long, many years of inner purification until the aspiration can stay longer. One has to have great patience and perseverance to go through the spiritual life until the end. After all it is the greatest adventure and the most challenging discovery of all times.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

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…
