AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

It has thus happened that whenever I have prayed for proximal presence of someone or something, I have suffered and regretted…as things have taken ugly turns later on..even it’s said, ” Marriage was erected on the tomb of Love😧” so it’s wise to not get married to the one you love..thus this way it’s not wise to marry at all…also I can easily find many unsuccessful marriages around. So now even if I seek the proximity of my beloved (seek to express my love for him through feelings, words and services) in life but I feel afraid to pray for their proximal presence in my life in anticipation of the bond between us getting ruined if that happens.

Marriages do not work out as we expect them to do because of the gap between the ideal and the strength and sacrifice needed to realise it. This is very much missing today in the fast food and utilitarian culture imported largely from the West. But the Divine is always willing to help us realise the Ideal. He is not the spoilsport to our happiness but the helper and guide and it is only rarely that he does not grant a sincere prayer, and only when He sees the harm that may accrue through it. The reason why relationships end up badly is not God but our incapacity to love. A love full of demands, expectations,  wishes and desires based on the need for pleasure or happiness is not so much love but emotional and vital hunger. So too a love calculating gain and loss is a business and a marriage based on social benefits is a transaction. These are as good as failures even if it succeeds by outer standards. So grow in love and try to make it beautiful and sincere. That is all that is needed.

Dear Alok da, I had a dream in the early morning, Does it have a meaning? Where there were lot of people in the house and they were playing something. I was standing a little away looking at the people. One little kid attracted me so much, must be 2 or 3 yr old. She didn’t come to me in the beginning but later on I said I was going to keep some food outside the gate for cows to eat and then she came to me. I picked her up and was showing trees around. I was so happy with that little girl, then heard the roar of two dogs behind…

Dogs are generally fine. The dream represents some kind of a conflict of faith that is somewhere and in some way affecting or influencing the psychic being (the child) whom you are trying to safeguard and are successful in doing so.

When I first visited the Ashram in 2006, someone told me to go to this room around Samadhi, where an old disciple gave me a Blessings Packet. He was sitting in the first room in the veranda where people sit around the Samadhi. The room closest to the entrance toward the Meditation Hall. Do you know who it could be? 😇🙏🏼🌸✉️

The first room in the Verandah around the Samadhi and in the courtyard as it turns towards the Meditation Hall is Dyuman bhai. He did give blessing packet. But he left his body in 1991. Most of the sadhaks living around inside …
