AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Mother says to “rise above falsehood, live in the pure Light of your soul and you will be close, very close to the Lord”. How can one rise above falsehood? What are the practical means of doing that😳?

Falsehood is all that creates division in our consciousness, and the last of these divisions is the division between God and the World. 

The practical way to come out of falsehood, to go deeper into our soul and come closer to the Lord is first to regard ourselves and the world as belonging to the Divine. The next logical step is to discover the Divine Truth in everything, behind everything by an aspiration for the Divine Truth and Light and Peace and Love and Harmony and Joy. It also means to do our work as worship and service of the Divine. 

As to the   choice of action, in a general way we can say that all that leads to or creates doubts, division, confusion, disharmony, restlessness, agitation comes from falsehood whereas all that leads to and builds faith, hope, harmony, peace, unity comes from Truth.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
