AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I sometimes feel that money is important too, and if I continue with commerce… MBA and job, then only I’ll be able to fulfill this wish. The mind is very bad. It keep questioning. Sometimes it get satisfied with my nature and choose a work like philosophy professor, sometimes it looks at my parents and wish to get any job asap to become independent, and sometimes it wants money😥. […]

A lot of money to fulfill my passions, like buying a bike, travelling all of India, taking my parents to various countries, buying cameras, telescopes to sneak into the galaxy, sometimes I feel won’t the mother give me everything if I really need all this? Or if my needs are really imp? But then it comes to my mind, we have to work and get a job on our own! Passive surrender is not good?  

It is quite natural at your age. Best is to go through sanyama which means to regulate rather than nigragaha or forced repression. Take the path of inner and outer balance, avoiding the extremes, as given in the Gita. Go through life but know that you belong to the Divine Mother alone. Receive what comes to you but know that you are a trustee and everything belongs to the Mother. Do not covet or try to grab or snatch and possess. Be firm in the practice of equanimity and be not afraid of life and its gifts of joy and sorrow, success and failure. Above all be steadfast in faith in the Divine Mother. Serve Her and love Her and shrink not from life and love.

Will I even do anything in the future, or will I keep figuring out what to do, and the time will fly?

Don’t spend time in thinking. Act and do. For the path becomes clearer as we walk. Believe in yourself and act.

It’s really tough. I have emailed you a lot about this thing. I’m really dumb about my future career, Alok da. 

Nothing is tough if we have the faith and will. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Alok da, Beggining with your training in psychology to walking in the path of The Mother today, what is your estimate of psycho spiritual condition of humans at large, I don’t even mean spiritual or yogic but atleast of what you’d consider a healthy mind and spirit. How much percentage of humanity do actually fit the bar of being healthy souls? I was curious to ask this question cos I was reading a bit of these psychiatric studies and the characteristics which describe those who are supposedly to be found only in psychiatric wards doesn’t seem to be too far away from your everyday “normal” human beings whom we meet all around and i felt this to be a bit scary. If not a supramental life, what you’d consider atleast of the essentials required of living a healthy life mentally and emotionally?

Let us leave the supramental, spiritual and psychic apart for a moment. Nor can we arrive at the real problem if we just think in terms of numbers and case studies.

1. Has there been an increase of psychiatric as well as other illnesses?

Most probably yes. The reason is manifold. Science with its expansion of medication has lowered the natural resistance as far as physical conditions go. Labelling is another problem as far as psychiatric illnesses go. Labelling isolates a person and then instead of treating him as an organic whole we treat symptoms. There is also…

I feel now that I was never unhappy. Just disillusioned with the world around me after a certain point in life. Needed to find the truth. About people. Reality of time. Other things. Work. Things told/said to me vs my own experience. 🌱🌟 […]

The purpose is inbuilt within us as the tree is held back within the seed. So too the soul within is the seed within and its purpose is to realise, express and thereby fulfil the Divine Possibility or the Divine Purpose within it. It happens through a process of unfolding across lives. As we draw closer to the soul the more we feel conscious of …
