AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Respected Dada, Namaste. At one point in time, it seemed like Sadhana was going on well, Aspirations were high, and Surrender was there (may not be an integral one though). Some weaknesses in nature resurfaced like jealousy, sex impulse slowly and then vehemently afterwards. 🦋[…]

Now they have their full play, and I feel like I have never had any progress whatsoever. There is a lack of confidence. Fear and anxiety grip me sometimes, accompanied by loss of sleep for so many months. I am distracted by those vicious thoughts that keep repeating and draining me out. I have been a recipient of The Mother’s Grace throughout these years. This period, though looks insurmountable, may pass, but now it looks too big to handle. Please guide with some practical steps.

These phases come in every sadhak’s life. They have to be endured as the purificatory process. If one remains steadfast in faith and aspiration, they eventually do pass away. Remember, the night is often darkest before the Dawn. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

If not a supramental life, what you’d consider atleast of the essentials required of living a healthy life mentally and emotionally?

Let us leave the supramental, spiritual and psychic apart for a moment. Nor can we arrive at the real problem if we just think in terms of numbers and case studies.

1. Has there been an increase of psychiatric as well as other illnesses?

Most probably yes. The reason is manifold. Science with its expansion of medication has lowered the natural resistance as far as physical conditions go. Labelling is another problem as far as psychiatric illnesses go. Labelling isolates a person and then instead of treating him as an organic whole we treat symptoms. There is also…

I feel now that I was never unhappy. Just disillusioned with the world around me after a certain point in life. Needed to find the truth. About people. Reality of time. Other things. Work. Things told/said to me vs my own experience. 🌱🌟 […]

The purpose is inbuilt within us as the tree is held back within the seed. So too the soul within is the seed within and its purpose is to realise, express and thereby fulfil the Divine Possibility or the Divine Purpose within it. It happens through a process of unfolding across lives. As we draw closer to the soul the more we feel conscious of …
