AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

It seems that everything I do in life seems to be wrong. Even if I do something with good intention in the end it ends up different to what I expected. I’m finding myself hyper reasoning with decisions to justify them, I feel like I’ve ruined everybody’s life around me. My parents are so unstable and I’ve lost my connection with my best friend😥 […]

I feel that I can do nothing right, I don’t have the gift of intuition and so I can only act based on intellect and reason, but everything I touch seems to go to ruin. I feel like my birth is useless, and nothing I do is helping anybody. I want to end my life but my mum will have nobody if I take my own life. I’ve tried everything from medication to meditation. Not only do I ruin my life but everyone’s life around me too. My brain won’t leave me alone.

You are too young to even think such things. Life has just begun for you. To want to end it is never a good thing. Even if everything is bad, even if everything goes from bad to worse, wanting to take away one’s life is the worst of all. It throws the person in a very dark and dangerous world, unprotected, where the misery is prolonged many times. 

Such suggestions as taking away one’s life comes from the push of hostile forces. Instead of accepting them you should call God’s Name and see your therapist immediately. Share your feelings with family members. These self-depreciatory feelings are not true. They will pass away. By indulging in these thoughts they become strong. Instead one should turn the mind away towards work and progress. There are always doors waiting to be opened. Look for the possibilities and start making the right effort. Everything will come back and even grow. Never lose hope.

Meanwhile do see the doctor who prescribed you the medicines urgently. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dada, there is a professor at IISC who is a sadhaka in the sampradaya of Madhvacharya, and he says that, according to him, the way to find your Swadharma is to do what you can persistently despite failure. I want to ask, is this a good way of practically knowing, or is it too reductionist? And according to you, what can be the best practical way for a young child?🧒📚✨🌱

That is one way of looking at it. But a slightly negative and outer way of looking at it. There are plenty of things we do which do not involve success or failure. We do it because we find a natural joy in it. This spontaneous joy …

Is drinking small quantities of alcohol really that bad? Most people I know consume alcohol in some measure. I noticed that the ones who quit it completely face backlash from Society. For example, I heard business people say that you can’t trust a person who doesn’t drink. 🥂💬🍸🎶[…]

It is not a question of good or bad from a moral point of view. But drinking alcohol is certainly harmful for the physical, as well as psychological and I would even say spiritual health. The list of physical problems is too long and generally too well known to elucidate. …

Yesterday suddenly realised during my prayer with my mother that the seat of the Psychic Being is Highar Vital, in the Hridaya Chakra. Initially, I feel Peace, Bliss and Delight up to the Vishudhi Centre. Suddenly realised that my heart has received The Mother’s Peace and is spreading to all the centre of my all the inner parts and similar to the mother light also. Suddenly feel that the heart centre is doing everything. Alok da, is our Sadhana going in the right direction? Please guide me. 🪷✨💖🕯️

Yes absolutely, the psychic being is behind the heart centre and when open and in the front then all becomes easy and natural. 
Your prayer is a beautiful psychic prayer and the yoga going in the right direction.
