AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Mother says, ‘As a general rule it is better not to intervene in things that do not fall within one’s own work’, What does maa mean by one’s own work ?

It means the work given to you, the field of your work. A person in an office, for example, should be focused on the work, do it with dedication, consecrating it to the Mother and not concern himself with what others are doing or not doing. This applies generally to relationships as well unless you have been given charge of students or one’s children or someone gives you the authority to correct. But as a general rule She advised each one to mind their own business. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

As an adolescent I would react against all these customs and traditions, not because they are wrong but because, they are not needed to express the inner bond of love between a sister and brother.  Later, on taking up the Yoga my attachment with the family of birth…
