AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Recently I came across a book 📘named The Direct Path, by Mr Greg Goode. I follow Swami Sarvapriyanadji’s (Swami Vivekanand Ashram, New York) lectures on YouTube on Adwait Vedant. He had mentioned this book. Have you heard of this book? Shall I read it or don’t even download it?

I am not aware of this book. Seems to be inspired by the Vedantic thought. If so be the case then why not read The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna?

In my last night’s question I had mentioned Mr Greg Goods, who is actually Swami Amanda’s disciple. His teaching is very step by step, 1) listen to a bell ringing…….close eyes and only concentrate on the sound, what do you hear, you know it is bell, but with closed eyes do you feel its presence…..this way he takes you understand ‘awareness’. and then step by step he takes you thru some 340 pages of example learning, to all is awareness. I have read lot on consciousness, which he calls awareness, I totally understand it, but I don’t feel it. That is why I was thinking about his methods, but wanted to talk to you first.

There are plenty of things like that. Their main help is in calming the mind and developing the power of concentration. 

Affectionately,

I am afraid of conveying my feelings to him as I know he is not going to reciprocate. I am just always craving his proximity, which i know is my problem.. How can I be at peace?? I want to detach myself from those feelings i have towards him?

What has happened has happened. It serves no purpose looking back and feeling bad. Life gives several learning lessons. This is one of them and a very precious one. One needs to understand that the way a woman feels and experiences life is very different from the …

My niece is in Class-9th. She is facing some problems in her class. Students ignore her in the class. She is good at studies. They say she has an attitude. She says that she feels alone in the class, especially during recess. 🏫🤝🌼[…]

Children who are either above or below the average face this isolation in the class. It is more so if the child is inwardly more developed as your niece is. Instead of trying to change to find friends she should learn to accept herself as she is and wait till she discovers someone who shares her tastes and temperament. She will find a few …
