AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My son asked me why God is so cruel? because he made so much suffering. I don’t know what to tell him.

God is not cruel but we misread His intentions and actions just as a child misreads his parents firmness or teachers strictness which is sometimes necessary to keep us on the right track of growth and progress.

Yet He allows us enough freedom of choices and when we misuse it then suffering comes.

At the same time when we go through suffering even due to our wrong actions, it is He who helps us to go through it and, if we have sufficient faith, even supports us and reduces the suffering.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

All I see in these questions, asked by everyone, including both the right wing and the left wing, is that they are driven by ego, self-righteousness, and opinions.

Then why did people not follow her instructions? Nolini da, Amrit da and others must be intuitively linked with the Mother, so why did they not intervene? 📕🙄🙏🏻🌼🍂

I have actually given a couple of talks on this question that people raise based on Satprem’s personal comments in the Agenda which are often taken as gospel truth. No doubt Satprem has done an admirable job in printing the Agenda but we should not forget that The Mother herself did not want the entire Agenda to be published! In fact She mentions at a few places that we better not publish it. But Satprem went ahead and published it! That gives us a little hint about his rebel personality that saw everything from purely personal point of view and …
