AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir is making a strict schedule and walking on the path taught by Maa can be done parallely? Is suppressing emotions or felling or desires is what in this path what should I do? Sir in military we have that much strict schedule one doesn’t even time to thought more about anything so will following schedule like military and walking on the path or Maa is possible 🧘⏰📝🏹

A question arises that how a special forces soilder is that much capable to bear any type of mental force manytime we se they evolve out of that become monks after giving service to the nation is in that path can I walk…? Is doing something like that with vital is ok?

What do you mean by strict? Military discipline is enforced from outside. It doesn’t change the basic nature, only puts a near cover over it. Discipline is helpful for yoga only when it is imposed freely by oneself. 

But a very strict discipline makes us rigid which is also not very good. Sitting tight on the vital desires and propensities is alright but it has to be done gradually especially at your age when the vital nature is raging. It has to be moulded by gentle hands rather than by hard strokes which might break the clay. In yoga the general advice is of balance and moderation, neither pulling the string of the bow too hard that it snaps, nor too soft that it cannot help the arrow to fly. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

He is too stubborn and doesn’t stop screaming until the thing gets done for him..is too delusional that he thinks everything will be served to him in the plate. Whenver i try to make him understand by saying that he needs to work hard and stop wasting time on watching other people succeed(cricket; he is too attached to it..as if his life depends upon it) he doesn’t take my words seriously or maybe he just doesn’t understand what im trying to say. I don’t understand how to tell him how important physical and mental discipline is and that without it he would face serious consequences. Please guide me in this context amd how my parents should change in order to bring the best in him. 👦🎒🛹

Children do not understand these consequences at 9. It is only as reason begins to develop around 11 or 12 that one can discuss these things rationally. At his age what works is simply inculcating good habits either by observing them in parents or simply as a part of habits at home. For example, it should be the norm in the house …
