AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I feel blessed people have luxuries and riches in life๐Ÿ˜ก?

Who knows it can be the other way round as more the luxuries one has, the more one tends to become lazy and be enslaved to comforts, then it is very difficult for him to progress. The Mother shares a part of the bible, โ€œyes it true that its easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to turn to God.โ€ But yes when the rich man does turn to God it would be very beautiful as this brings greater possibilities with regard to help in the Divine Manifestation. But having riches and luxuries is by itself no sign of being specially blessed by God.ย 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The dream is a reflection of the inner state and the choices before your soul as you draw closer to the birthday. One is the straight sunlit path right in front. The other is a valley of false glimmers. Your choice will decide the course your life will take. On one side is the road that most people take, the people whom you know in the past.
