AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Reading Songs of the Soul: December 23, 2024 makes me think. Can the fire of aspirationšŸ”„ and the discovery of our soul free us from the karmic chains of our egotistical reactions?

The fire of aspiration draws the rain of Grace that dissolves the chain of Karma. Discovery of the soul sets us free from ignorance and thereby prevents new bondages and karmic links formed in ignorance. Discovery of the soul makes us conscious of our goal and the unfolding of destiny is taken up directly by the Divine.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
