AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, I think you missed to explain ๐Ÿ™„last part of the sentence (but still it has a real power and significance) yesterday.

Yes, even a crudely formulated childish prayer has in it a real power. This power of the prayer lies in the bhaava, the inner state from which it emerges. Its significance lies in the fact that it brings us in contact with the Divine. It is like reaching the river or the sea. Whether a person came with dirt upon his body or all neat and clean, the river still would cleanse. So too even a crudely formulated prayer can bring us in contact with the Divine which will eventually have a cleansing effect upon us.

There is evidently a vital attraction which is very different from love. It usually wears off with time unless there is a strong deep affinity of goals, ideas and interests.

Marraige is a different matter. It requires a deep commitment which can come only if there is some glimmer of true love or else strong earthly bonds of family, habits, customs, language etc. Besides, long distance relationship is very different from living together in close physical proximity. Many unwanted things begin to show up in close…
