AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I 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 attend these things please advice what to do?

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

Affectionately,

Alok da.

I wonder many times if this is what Albert Camus wrote, “in me there is an invincible summer”, or the famous Louis Amstrong song “what a wonderful world”. I don’t know what to call it. Just out of curiosity, what’s this feeling Alok da?🌟🌅🫶🎶

It is indeed a beautiful state, a glimpse of the Divine Presence immanent in all things. It is a special Grace through a door opening in the psychic being. I pray that it stays and becomes a base to build higher things.
