AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My daughter demands that we buy branded expensive clothes for her just like her friends wear. We cannot afford it but then I worry she will look the odd one out and girls will not include her in their group.

Explain to her through stories and examples that the value of a human being does not depend on how she looks or the clothes one wears but on the qualities one has and the contribution one can make to the world.

That friends whose friendship depends upon the dress are not worth her friendship.

And that what matters most how much she can progress and learn in the school is what will help in the future and bring in the right kind of friends.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

This happens because there are several parts in us, each with different degrees of development. Usually it is a part of the mind that understands but the heart follows its own way of attachment. Unless the tendency of attachment changes into love and compassion, this difficulty continues. In fact it is through these experiences …

I had a dream early this morning that I was standing in probably Srinagar somewhere, as I have a house there, right next to the river Jhelum. And I see a huge muddy tidal wave coming in the distance. I think this is it and I am ready for it, but start calling out to Maa. πŸŒŠπŸ”οΈπŸ˜ŠπŸ™πŸ»πŸŒ»[…]

The meaning is crystal clear. It was indeed a surge of world forces, adverse in nature, possibly connected with your roots (circumstances of physical birth) coming your way, that have been pushed back by the Mother’s Help…
