AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I hope you or someone gets this. The whole point of being more conscious and aware is very tiring and not easy. It leads to huge drawdown and “night” of the yoga. Still it feels like there is no other option as not being aware in our actions leads to lot of worldly “Thapede”. Still lot of resistance in taking up the part of being vigilant😶

Yes vigilance needs some effort and any effort can be tiring beyond a point. Besides points of resistances often remain hidden behind comfortable explanations and insincerities. Every sadhak has to face it. However the thrust of the sadhana is progress through everything including one’s resistances. It is like the judoka who knows how to use the opponents power to floor him. It is a certain tact that one learns whence everything is turned to feed the flame of aspiration and progress. Most important is a steady perseverance in the application of will regardless of failures and above all relying upon the Grace for the victory.

Affectionately

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
