AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My mother lives in denial and delusion about herself and her equation with everyone around, now that is a problem more for the people around her and if I tell her anything like how she behaved in the past, she will plainly deny and fight with me, How to deal with this kind of a person?

Sir, is whatever happens with us is always for our best? ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ

The Mother has given a very beautiful and complete answer to this.

But we can say so only after it has happened, not before. For the problem of the very best that can happen is an individual problem, whether the individual be a nation or a single human being; and all depends upon the personal attitude. If, in the presence of circumstances…
