AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My question is, I canโ€™t sit down in front of The Motherโ€™s photo and do a prayer. But in the morning, only one time I pray for Her to stay with me at each moment. How can I increase my concentration on the Mother? ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒท๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

Concentration upon the Mother’s photographs and praying to Her is one powerful way to connect. But a prayerful attitude can be kept the whole day by praying on waking up and before sleep,ย  before and after eating,ย  before and after any activity.ย  It is a quiet remembrance within by taking Her Name and offering the activity to Her.ย 

It helps to keep some small books of the Mother, such as White Roses and reading a passage whenever time permits.ย 

One can also keep Her music, especially Savitri music, playing in the background and keep a couple of quotes here and there strategically to bring back the remembrance.ย 

Rest is a matter of Time and practice. 

Affectionately,

Alok da.

I feel completely lost on my path and overwhelmed by academic and inner struggles that may force me to leave my PhD.

One can never be lost enough as to not connect with Her. In fact, the more we feel lost, the more we should call Her and connect with Her. Who else one would call? She is The Mother and She would very much want that Her children call Her in distress rather than sink into despair. There is no error She cannot rectify, no mistake She …

Alok da, like during the times of COVID, there is a continuous fear psychosis being produced about the incoming mass unemployment due to the threat of AI. People across the globe are sharing their existential condition of living in perpetual anxiety, anticipating the inevitable doom and whatnot. ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ[…]

One cannot deny that there is some truth in the statement. When machines took over, the labourer and the workers were threatened. When big Corporates came up, small businesses felt threatened. So too with the drones taking over the battlefield the warriors role is changing. Robocops may be next. Similarly will impact the knowledge based work. However the change will be a shift of roles as we see in the other examples. AI will still be …

Alok da, I have been observing two persistent, conflicting movements within my being that I struggle to understand. First, despite my conscious mind recognizing negative thoughts like jealousy, rivalry, or criticism as useless, something deep within still gives in and derives a strange, perverse pleasure from them. ๐Ÿชž๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป[…]

Human beings are a bundle of contraries. All of us carry these contradictory aspects which takes time to be reconciled or bridged. The process of true reconciliation begins by finding the psychic being which automatically widens us and sees the real and unreal defects of others with generosity and compassion. But the critical mind takes almost a perverse pleasure in fault-finding though most often its assessments are mistaken as it sees only a …
