AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I don’t have any knowledge of meditation yet, so how can I make my day useful for Mother? During the day, I keep chanting Maa Maa. I stay at home, I spend some time in front of Maa’s picture, in the evening I go to the cricket academy, then I watch one of your videos and how can I make my Sadhana and day useful for Maa?๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ๐Ÿช”๐Ÿ™

To open to the Mother by whatever means, – meditation upon her, taking her name, bhakti, service, thinking of her, reading her books, are all part of the sadhana.

To make oneself useful to the Mother, one should prepare oneself through nishkama karma and equanimity.

Cultivate the practice of remembering the Mother and offering the work and yourself before every activity and offer gratitude at the end of it.

Sit for some time and try to concentrate on the center of the chest or above the head on Her Presence.

Read something from their writings every day.

When the time comes, She will herself give the work for you.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I often experience intense physical purgesโ€”such as severe nausea and abdominal heatโ€”after encountering certain people or environments, leading me to wonder if Sri Maa spoke about absorbing others’ karmic energies and how to safely regain vitality. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ๐ŸŒธ[…]

Not sure what you mean by lower energies of people getting absorbed. The human system is not an entirely closed container. The body and mind of each person is constantly engaged in an energy interchange all the time. And since most human beings live in the vital, the transaction also takes place mostly at the vital level. Most …
