AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Mother says, “there’s only one Will that governs the world and that is the Lord’s alone.” Does it mean then that the subconscient and the inconscient exists also by the Divine’s will? 🙄All the evil in the world “as we see it and experience” is also Divine’s Will?

Yes. It is how the Inconscient came into existence, by the plunge of the Superconscient into its very opposite. It was done because thus alone the deepest and highest divine possibilities could emerge in creation through all the seemingly impossible challenges imposed by evil and suffering which is itself the result of this plunge

Of course when we say that all the evil we see is the result of the Divine Will we often blot out all the steps and the purpose and hence it seems quite grotesque.

To put it in perspective, parents conceive a child who will surpass them and express all that they could not. The child’s coming is a cause of celebration. But to fulfill his purpose and realise his highest possibility he must go to school, take the challenge of life and wrestle with all the forces that lure and strike with fear.

So all this is part of a larger single plan and neither could be spared as part of the process.

Affectionetly,

Alok Da

Something in us feels that our true centre is there. Also despite the challenges of life we keep striving for some kind of an ideal state, ideal love, perfect knowledge, true harmony and peace and all the rest. We seek these things in ourselves and others even though nothing…

There are plenty of such instances such as the assassination of John F Kennedy who despite his personal deficiencies, was a good divine instrument but was killed. Such instances are there in the Mahabharata as well. It naturally raises the question of Divine Omnipotence in some minds. But what we need to understand is that the Divine does not act in a vacuum. There is something called as the human will, – individual and collective. It..
