AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Pranam Alok da. I stay in Kolkata and I’ve been having the worst war anxiety. It’s been 6 months and I’ve been getting anxious 🫨about absolutely anything and everything from my external environment especially this month. I kept thinking something will happen to me or my family or my home. Before this, I’ve always had faith on the Mother but this time I’ve spiraled like never before. I’ve thought of the worst scenarios, imagined attacks on my home, haven’t let my family go out of the house even for work which is silly because we’re in Kolkata, which is far from the border.

How to stop such bad thoughts from coming in and more importantly, how to keep faith in such scenarios?

Turn the mind away rather than trying to stop these thoughts. Even if they play in the background don’t give them attention or importance especially by acting upon them. If they try to invade either just step back and be a witness without judging them or do some physical activity such as arranging the cupboards. Read something from The Mother and Sri Aurobindo’s writings everyday and do Her Naam Japa inwardly in the heart. Take it like a wave that will pass away. The less attention and importance you give the sooner it will leave you. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Why should you worry or fear? If you believe that you are The Mother’s child, then where is the room for any anxiety or worry? Our intelligence may be and is  limited but if we open ourselves and offer to the Divine then He supplements our limited intelligence and force with His and then there is nothing to fear or be worried at all. …
