AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In one of your recent recordings , you mentioned that “You too prayed for the diversion of cyclone from Pondicherry for all incoming devotees to ashram”. But, you told as if you didn’t want to do the prayer as a regular practice. But, Mother says that we can ask her and involve her in all day to day things. And when She is making impossible things as possible on earth, why shouldn’t we ask for eradication of any kind of disharmony in nature or life?ย Why should any other force on earth shall function when it is actually creation of our Mother?ย ๐ŸŒช๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒโ›ˆ๏ธ

Dada, may be I have misunderstood something, please clarify. 

The cosmic forces have their own role in the world play. They too have emerged from the Divine Mother and there is a reason why She has allowed them. The Mother herself did not want to interfere arbitrarily. And if the Divine started granting every prayer of every human being in their present state of ignorance then the world would soon be in a much worse chaos. That is why not to insist on one’s wishes but surrendering to the Divine Will is the first and last word of spiritual life and the highest wisdom. It implies that the Mother knows best and if She wants to change things She doesn’t need our advice and prayers. She will do it Herself. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Pranam Sir. I want to ask about how to deal with negative anticipations, thoughts, and expectations in our daily life. One of my colleagues always targeting me and quarreling with me over each minor issue or mistake and even insults me in front of juniors. He is visually challenged. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ[…]

The best way is to completely ignore him, and if you cannot do so then remain inwardly totally indifferent to him. The best response to people who are hypercritical is complete indifference. The more you try to explain, the more they justify. The more you concede, the more they increase the criticism. But indifference completely flattens them…

What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signifyโ€”is peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the Divine, seemingly equal and non-reactive like Shiva bearing and upholding the dance of Kali upon his chest or the ocean holding its tremendous energy by its own power of self-limitation. maryada. It is a state of concentrated ingatheredness like the mountains or a vast Silence …
