AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have a question and want to understand how one can hold on to the space we get during Darshan days for long? Usually, I have observed this pattern: after every Darshan day, I have wave of circumstances that come to disturb the Beauty that is created during the Darshan period. 😣[…]

According to my understanding, it is either internal struggle, as part of me feels the Ecstacy of Her Dynamic Presence and the unexposed parts within me rebel against the Light which comes out as such irritating external circumstances… or can these be pure outer circumstances that simply want to disturb the Peace established… whatever might be the reason… Is there anything one needs to do apart from offering and trying to be vigilant to stay in touch with Her Light?

The simplest thing is to keep the phone away for a couple of hours and don’t interact much on the Darshan day. If doubts arise, offer them, call inner peace and see how these doubts are actually obstructing the path and delaying the journey. Instead, call more and more quietude and steadily increase the aspiration. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
