AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sometimes in personal life we ​​have to lie because the other person is not ready to listen to the truth or he opposes it very strongly, he gets very angry and there is an atmosphere of unrest, what should we do in this situation, because nowadays whenever I tell a lie, this line starts inside me: निर्मल मन जन सो मोहि पावा। मोहि कपट छल छिद्र न भावा॥ [A person with a pure mind attains me. I do not like deceit, fraud, or malice.]😥

One should never tell a lie. But that does not mean that one is compelled to tell the truth. First of all one does not even know the truth. We don’t even know what is going on inside us, our motives remain carefully hidden inside covers of justification. In fact we live in a world of falsehood and consider it as truth. The first thing therefore should be to discover and know the Truth. 

Then comes the question of sharing. Here the difficulty is even greater since human beings hear and read what they want to hear and read. They analyse the words and sentences but cannot see the intent nor glimpse the totality which serves as the grand backdrop of our life. It is best therefore to speak little, to the point, and for the rest remain silent and quiet instead of trying to explain.  Meanwhile go along on the path you have chosen with firm steps sharing everything with the Mother. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
