AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Life feels very hard Alok da. I often feel that nothing has amounted. much in any aspect of my life. Though I keep trying, disappointments. are almost the routine. As you can imagine, I am feeling exhausted. with all that pushing, all the series of frustrations. I don’t expect. life to be smooth, but it feels incredibly bumpy (something that I am reminded of also when I see most of the people around me, such as my peers, my relatives, my colleagues, my friends)⛈️🔄🧱🪫

I keep remembering what Sri Aurobindo says “Base your life on this one fact that the Mother loves you and all will be alright.” I try to keep reminding myself of that but it feels very hard to believe that most of the time. Is She watching me? Will it ever get easier?

She is not only watching you but carrying you. How else are you able to navigate through it despite the challenges? However it is important to remember that no two lives follow the same curve and hence comparisons are meaningless. In fact the many are led through the common route but for the souls chosen to rise to greatness in this life or another, the Divine puts them on a road less travelled. If the path is difficult and the challenges many then it implies that the Divine has marked you out for a greater, larger work in the larger scheme of things. In a world where everyone is running after wealth and chasing comfort, pleasure and happiness why not strive for wisdom and light and truth? Live for a higher and greater purpose than material success and step out of the common road race and walk the difficult dateless path reserved for the few. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is not insincerity but the natural protective motherly instinct reacting habitually to the deeply ingrained past experience. Pray for more faith, ask for Peace. Call The Mother inwardly every time the sense of panic comes. Keep a small picture of the Mother or a blessing packet with you and your child as a material support. Keep your …

Since my youth, I have held an innate conviction that true, soul-nurturing love is real—a bond rooted in a higher purpose that brings strength, courage, and spiritual freedom rather than chains or insecurity. 💗🌱[…]

Human beings are not equipped to love perfectly. If you still want to try and learn through hard experience then so be it. In any case love is something that happens if it has to happen. But remember love and demand do not go together. Either one can get the joy of loving by loving someone truly. Or else one can suffer in the hope and expectation of being loved and finding the perfect partner and match.
