Ask Alok da

I have cold and cough. I want to know what’s the deeper reason behind these diseases? Are they due to some disharmony in the inner beingšŸ˜„?

If it is frequent then it indicates possibly low immune resistance. This in itself could be due to some kind of stress which is quite common at your age. Try to do regular exercises, deep breathing, and some simple meditation for calling peace and qietude in the system. Generally however cough and cold indicates problem in expression or stifled expression.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Da, whenever I see some incident or read something, thoughts come to my mind and I feel like telling people about it. Like yesterday was Vat Savitri Purnimaā€”I saw in the market that small branches of the banyan tree were being sold, and women were buying them and doing puja with them. Then I started thinking, how can we worship the banyan tree after breaking it? I started wondering about the real meaning behind itā€”it doesnā€™t seem right. After all these thoughts, I felt like writing about it and posting it on WhatsApp status, but then I didnā€™t. These kinds of thoughts keep coming to me, and I feel like sharing them with others, but when I try to write, I stop. So I end up telling Mummy, Didi, or Kunal. But Alok da, how should I write or tell peopleā€”or should I not say anything? Then I worry people might misunderstand and think Iā€™m criticizing tradition. Like breaking the banyan tree might become a ritual and the true meaning of Vat Savitri Purnima could be lost or misunderstood. Alok da, I keep getting such thoughts on different topics, that something should be this way or that way, but I can’t put them into words. So how do I express these thoughts or feelingsā€”or is it okay if I donā€™t? But if someone talks about the same topic at the time, I do speak up. I just canā€™t write it. And one more thingā€”when it was my parentsā€™ birthday, I thought I would write a WhatsApp status expressing my feelings for them, but in the end I only wrote ā€˜Happy birthday, Divine bless you, love you.ā€™ I couldn’t write or even say my true feelings in front of them. So how should I express my thoughts and emotions? Or is it okay if I donā€™t?

You should write in a diary to the Divine and express yourself freely in front of God. Later, if He feels it is necessary and helpful for all He will create the necessary outer conditions and give you the…

I have two questions about keeping an inner contact with the Mother and the Lord. Since a while ago, I have been observing something in myself. When I am free and watching some content for entertainment, I cannot watch it for too long. I feel an inner discomfort and my heart and mind crave to go back to the Divine. I feel much better when I read something from the Mother and Sri Aurobindo or when I listen to your talks. The problem is I want to be in contact with the Mother and feel her Presence but I don’t want to be completely disengaged from life either. Is there a way to reconcile both or should I avoid such activities?šŸ§˜āœØšŸ•ÆļøšŸ’Ž

It is a sign of spiritual conversion that many of the old things which we enjoyed earlier begin to lose interest or simply drop off like old wornout garments. It is a release, a freedom from bondage to old habits and vital enchantments and should be welcomed as …

Dear Alok da, would you help explaining the below Aphorisms please? What is the ‘temptation’ meant here? God guides best when He tempts worst, loves entirely when He punishes cruelly, helps perfectly when violently He opposes.šŸšŸšŸ«šŸ§²

The temptations are the tendencies that pull us back, downwards, such as greed for money, lust for power, ambition, attachment, sex, fear etc. Behind them all is the play of ego and desire. These are all hidden in man and …
