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

After all the entire animal world is maintained by the balance between the force of rajas and ..

I had a dark, unsettling dream where I was traveling through dense woods, attacked by a hostile woman, and surrounded by stampeding, giant beast-like creatures. Amid this ominous gloom—broken only by a brief glimpse of the rising morning star heralding dawn—I found myself fiercely shielding an innocent young boy from these crude, predatory giants who had shapeshifted into ordinary men. 🌙🛡️⭐[…]

The dream is once again indicative of certain inner movements. The child is your soul and the dense forest is the lower vital regions strongly under the influence of dark subconscious forces. The horse is your life energy, the vital being struggling to rescue the child. Meeting these giants in human forms is again the deceptive forces of …

In corporate, I meet some people who are Cunning and envious. They smile in front of you, but you know they are jealous of you and are internally plotting to go over you. They are so ingenuine and fake, no matter how much you are honestly have goodwill for them. 🏢🧘🪷[…]

The first thing to do is to ignore all that does not concern us and the work. One should be completely indifferent to what people are or do, let alone what they may be thinking and feeling. By letting our mind enter into thoughts about what they are or might be thinking, we get unwittingly identified with them. For there is in us …
