AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Please tell about self-giving and how to do it💮?

Self giving means turning all, all one is and has towards the Divine rather than towards oneself and for any selfish purposes. 

With thoughts it means thinking of the Divine, turning mind and thoughts towards His Service. 

With feelings, it means to direct love towards the Divine whether in the mask of humanity or directly towards Him.

The same applies to life. Self giving means leading one’s life in obedience to and in the service of the Divine. 

With the body, self giving means the impulse to action should originate from the Divine Will and be connected inwardly to the Divine for the fulfilment of the Divine Lila in the world.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I understand that we should live in the present moment and remain open to the Divine Will. However, I find it difficult because I do not really enjoy the work I am presently doing. How can I remain peaceful, sincere, and open to the Divine while being fully present in a work that I do not enjoy? 🌱🙏🏻

The Gita gives us the complete answer to this problem. 

First thing is to take up an activity that is in line with your swabhava, your innate temperament. If one does not know that then one should study oneself, one’s interests, tendencies, natural qualities and capacities and try to see how they can be best put to use in the work you are doing…
