AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir from the last 4 months I have been taking medicines for severe depression. And now I am fed up. Everytime I am getting suicidal thoughts of killing myself totally and ending everything. I am not able to comprehend as what is right for me. Sir i am fed up with these medicines and I have lost all my self confidence and i really don’t know what life holds for me. I have been practicing Mantra sadhana and meditation and kriyas also praying to the mother but I am not getting any answers. Sir plzz help me come out of this situation,Β  I want to do good work for the world and my parents as they have done so much for me. But now I am down with such severe depression and also whatever I am studying i am not able to retain the concepts. Even the hardest of things I am finding very difficult to do. Even the hardest of things I am finding very difficult to do. Plzz help me come out of it as I don’t want to live like this.πŸŒ§οΈπŸ§‘β€βš•οΈπŸ’ŠπŸͺ«

As to the medicines I will not advice you to stop them. You should continue them in consultation with your doctor. 

Now if you really want to come out, if you truly have a sincere will to come out of this state then stop lamenting and thinking about your depression. The more you think about the difficulties, any difficulty,  it will increase further. Instead, focus on what you want to do, what you want to be.

Do not even entertain thoughts of suicide. It will complicate your issues further and put the stamp of depression for lives to come. We must face with faith and courage the problems that come to us in life.

It is important to stay busy and do regular physical exercises. Pray to God to give you courage and faith. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

There was a time, long back, when I read many of these things. Found all of them not only grossly inadequate and limited but also missing the core of human nature, the person behind the personality. It is very much like the story of blind men searching for the elephant in the room and drawing their own conclusions about what the elephant likely is.

If a person is elevating their consciousness and developing themselves into a new consciousness, what about those who have already attained Liberation (Mukti) and have become one with the Supreme Being?

Identifying with the Supreme Being is rare. What is generally called as Mukti is departing from the cycle of birth and death into a state of Silence or Nirvana and then merging or losing all one’s individual truth that the….

Sir, the main problem with depressive medicines is that they make the body and mind always sleepy, dull and lethargic. To be honest, I don’t actually know as to how and where to progress on the Spiritual path and in Studies. Even the simplest of things, I am finding it difficult to face off. Really don’t know what to do ahead.πŸŒ§οΈπŸ§‘β€βš•οΈπŸ’ŠπŸ«

This was true of earlier medicines. But now there are much safer medicines with fewer side effects if any especially of drowsiness. There is nothing wrong in taking them and bounce back on your feet in a few weeks at …
