AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In earlier time I was feeling devotion, faith, gratitude and surrender to The Mother. My mind was constantly remembering her. But now that isn’t happening. Mind is creating doubt, vital being feel restless, a lot of ambition and sexual desire arises and they give pain in my lower abdominal part. I see that doubt and desire coming from outside constantly and with offering it also coming. Now I feel that this is not the problem of my nature and and other, it is the whole universal problem. What should our right attitude to passes through this stages. And how long theย  battle will occur and what is the next thing will happen after this stages ๐Ÿ™„?ย 

These things or rather this phase comes to every sadhak especially if one has taken to the Yoga at a young age when the vital drives are strongest. That is the age old wisdom that people should take to Yoga after they have experienced life a little going through the experiences natural to each age until they are fully ready.

In any case the best way to deal with these things is not to give them so much importance, to detach oneself from these movements when they arise saying to oneself that this is not what I am, to turn the mind away by staying busy, sublimation of energies into sports or physical exercises and education, and calling the Mother’s Name if the struggle gets too intense.

As I said if you are too young it may be helpful to go through life experiences so that some of these tendencies get weakened and exhausted. Plenty of people practice yoga as a person engaged with different aspects of life such as taking up a Job, going through a relationship etc and it is not necessarily always a bad idea.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
