AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I see so many people around succeed, is success so important? As all around I see people are in a race to succeed as if their only agenda is to succeed🫤.

To succeed in one’s undertaking is fine, – after all one does not take up any work with the idea of failing, What is however important is the road they take to success and the means they adopt to the extent of stifling their souls and deviating not only from the right and light but also from the truth of their being, Swadharma. Driven by ambition and given to the ego they go down the spiral of inner evolution.

It is necessary therefore to first define what is success and remember that many outer seeming successes are a tragic failure of the soul. A success gained at the expense of the growth of the soul is at best a bad bargain, at worst a tragic failure.

Affectionetly,

Alok Da
