AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Should I listen to the inner voice of my heart and what its telling me? Whatโ€™s coming to me in the meditations. No matter how illogical in terms of real external world it may seem. Fanciful…I dont know if I should go ahead and jump in this relationship?๐Ÿงฉ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿค

Not follow traditional conventional ways of Society and advice of so called practical people. And just jump. Take the leap of faith..ย 

The heart has wings no doubt but the flight must be controlled and directed by the will. In ordinary life it is the mental will, the discernening intelligence, buddhi, that must direct it. By discerning intelligence is meant to see clearly where an action is likely to lead us, – closer to the higher goal or farther away from it. Practical intelligence is a different matter. Its use is to calculate possible gain and loss from a personal and often limited point of view. 

We trigger each other to another level. Like both of us canโ€™t handle any lower qualities of the other. Itโ€™s not by choice. And normally would sound chaotic. But in this case brings clarity. Pushes us to advance and work on ourselves higher. 

But in all of this there is huge emotional upheavals. I have been reading the Savitri too. I feel like my whole world will turn upside down.

And I donโ€™t know what we want from each other. We are just not satisfied no matter what. Itโ€™s definitely beyond the body and mind. At times we donโ€™t feel good enough. Donโ€™t know. Itโ€™s just intense. Too intense. 

It seems to be an intensity of vital love. It thrills but often kills. Take it easy, go slow, be deliberate and conscious, see what you really want before you fling yourself head over heels. Spend some time in getting to know each other through communication, common actions and a general feel especially of being inwardly comfortable in each other’s presence. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
