AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I often visit Pondicherry, but my aspiration feels weak when I’m there. At the Samadhi, I feel blank and don’t feel like sharing my problems to the Mother—it just doesn’t come naturally. I struggle to share everything. I feel like I go there to relax, even though I can easily connect with the Mother because the whole atmosphere is filled with her presence. But when I’m away from Pondicherry, I listen to your talks, read books, and my aspiration feels stronger. I write to the Mother my problems, good and bad days. It’s confusing why I don’t feel more aspiration when I’m in Pondicherry 🙄? Why does this happen?

But this is natural. Aspiration is a thirst for the Divine. But when you are at the ocean of Divine Love you don’t feel thirsty anymore but simply drink the nectar, grow strong and get back to work in the world. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Am I right? 🫴🏼🪷😊🙏🏻🌻

It is a question of semantics, playing with words. Satya nistha is the motive but the act is renunciation. Renunciation is an action that may be done for a number of reasons such as inability to face the challenges of life …
