AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Iย have too much pressure from my in-laws to attend social functions and attend to other family responsibilities. The kids suffer as I have to leave them to attend these things. Please advise what to do. ๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‚

One line of advice is: do not succumb to social pressures. It is not only about the harm these things do to the child but also to oneself. It is necessary to develop one’s individuality fully by making one’s choices.

Initially, the parents and friends may try to pull but later they will respect you for the integrity displayed and for standing by your choices.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

They are not Smriti, objects of Remembrance, but objects of worship to be approached with reverence. Modern mind has lost this understanding and treats these objects of divine value at bestย  with a passing curiosity. It is necessary to educate the visitors about each and every object so as to connect it with the history of its ..

I wanted to ask you a question which I have since a long time. When someone realises the Divine in each and every thing and sees Him in every object, doesn’t it get a bit awkward to use those objects? ๐ŸŒโœจ […]

Seeing the Divine in everything makes us instinctively conscious in our dealing with everything. It is not about being sacred but everything carrying the Divine within it. It means dealing everything, every object with care and consciousness. Even the human …
