AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have a habit of saying “No” to everything and everyone, rejecting requests or opportunities at first, regardless of whether they are small request or a big decision. My initial response is almost always a firm “No.” However, after spending a long time in a state of confusion and indecision, I eventually give in and say “Yes.”If I choose not to go ahead with something, I feel like I might have missed out on an important experience or opportunity. On the other hand, if I do proceed with it, I often find myself wondering why I agreed to it in the first place😬.

The ability to say No is a power but it also indicates an inability to trust easily. It is almost like seeing the problematic or difficult side of everything.  What needs to be done is to step back and stay inwardly quiet and then feel the answer in the depths of your heart. Then go ahead with that decision offering it and the consequences to God. As an interim measure you can always tell the person that you would like to give it a thought and revert in a while. Rushing to say Yes is often worse than rushing to say No. An impulsive Yes is often a rash overconfidence whereas an impulsive No is sign of caution. The mind cannot decide in such a case because it doesn’t have the key to the future. But the heart has an intuitive access to the future and the right thing to do provided you step back and quieten the mind. Try tuning in to the inmost heart and say Yes or No from there.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I won’t go as far as calling her a Mir Jafar though there are plenty of them in India. But it is truly a pity that ambition and need for limelight has taken the better of her. Ambition is always a dangerous bedfellow to the true spiritual life. Unfortunately, people driven by ambition get blind especially when the ambition justifies itself in the garb of changing the world. Taking a leaf from Sri Aurobindo’s early life they believe a political revolution will ..

The CJP protests have rocked the capital of Delhi and violence has not subsided even on the fourth day. One is forced to the conclusion that the government has already been psychologically defeated because it is refraining from using even the right force/violence and hence has failed to contain the rowdy crowds, who have now been exposed as mobsters and gundas and not students at all. 🪧🤨🦋🍂[…]

I quite understand this. But there is behind all this a realpolitik going on. There is a time to wait and prepare, and a time to strike. The government is buying time while it is discovering the Achilles heel of all involved. Surely the government has its own Achilles heel which strangely is being saved by the protesters, perhaps unwittingly. ..
