AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have been wanting to talk to you for a long time. But I don’t know where to start. My daughter has come to you, to the holy land of Sri Mataji and Sri Aurobindo ji. I could not come with her. I wanted to come this week but did not get leave from my job. But I will come soon to meet you. To the holy land of Sri Mataji and Sri Aurobindo ji. To visit their holy Samadhi. But till then, the many questions in my mind do not let me sit quietly. There is a strange kind of restlessness in my mind ๐Ÿชท๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒณโ˜€๏ธ[conti]

I don’t understand whether that restlessness is there or something else. From childhood till today, there are so many questions whose answers have never been found to satisfy. Now my mind is not able to remain peaceful. What is my life? The purpose of life? Have I done everything right? What about what I did not do right? I want to do something meaningful in life. What is right for me? When will God show me the right path? โ€ฆ Sometimes it seems that everything is going right. I should not worry. I do not understand what to do. I will come to seek your blessings in person. Pranam

I understand your feelings. It has not been an easy life but which life is easy after all? Each one has to face their challenges as part of our evolutionary journey. Right or wrong is a very relative thing and depends upon the perspective one takes. Besides as long as one lives in ignorance, as long as one is unable to see the whole truth of things, one cannot pass any judgment on oneself or anyone. The wisest thing therefore is to keep growing towards Light and Truth in whatever way we can conceive and in whatever way we can put our efforts. The intent matters most. 

Have faith in the Divine Grace that overrides and overrules our ignorance and knows what is the best way to turn our difficulties into opportunities for progress. Remember the Divine in your heart and offer all you do to Her. The Light will come and the way forward will become clear.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dada, I am unable to fully grasp this. On one hand, you believe that and I will be together in the future; yet, based on my dream, you suggest that if I desire to be with her, it goes against God’s will and would lead me away from my true destiny. ๐ŸŒ„๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒธ[…]

All restlessness, impatience, over eagerness of desires are clearly going in one direction whereas love and service of the Divine in quite another. One doesn’t rely on dreams to decide these things. Dreams easily lie as the mind can easily create desirable images. I am surprised that still you are unable to see the consequences of this love.
