AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Life has turned upside down in the past few years. It started with a trivial argument at home, which escalated and eventually led to marital separation. I haven’t seen my spouse and kid for almost a year. 😣👨🏻‍👩🏻‍👧🏻‍👦🏻🌼✨[…]

Out of nothing, office performance took a dip and my name has been listed in the “cost efficiency” resource reduction. An apartment unit, one of my major financial investments, has unresolved paperwork, making ownership rights incomplete. I wonder why the lights have dimmed in me, who once was a shining star in the family office and financial management.

These things happen for a number of reasons that go far beyond the trivial incidence you mention. Some may call it destiny related to past karma, others may call it as a test. What is important, however, is how to navigate through the present and build an even more beautiful future. Yes, one must learn from the past, as there is always something to learn. But instead of lamenting or after the initial shock of the storm is over, one must pull up the socks, summon up one’s courage, pack your bags with the right attitude, take the staff of faith, ask the Divine Grace to lead and guide and then, start moving towards the future. Take the crisis as a cry for inner and outer change and start rebuilding your life. This is the one piece of advice I will give you and the course of action to take.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Marraige is a different matter. It requires a deep commitment which can come only if there is some glimmer of true love or else strong earthly bonds of family, habits, customs, language etc. Besides, long distance relationship is very different from living together in close physical proximity.
