AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sometimes, scrolling through social media and seeing other people’s photos creates the illusion that their lives are perfect—free from struggles or worries. It seems as if they have effortlessly found true love, married their soulmate, and stepped into their “happily ever after,” as though everything has fallen into place flawlessly. But your own life😥,[Conti]…

the path hasn’t been so smooth. If you have found love, it came with its own set of challenges, and if you haven’t, the journey has been even more difficult. Unlike those who seem to meet their soulmate with ease, you have endured emotional struggles, setbacks, and heartbreaks. Love didn’t arrive in your first relationship, nor did things work out as seamlessly as they appear for others. And as you continue navigating these hardships, witnessing others seemingly living their perfect lives only deepens the weight of your own reality.

Have you not heard the story about the advertisement of hell. It is overactive and its sole purpose is to turn humanity away or since it cannot do so forever, to delay the human from turning towards the true solution. In fact it is difficult to say which is a better fate, – the illusory happiness that keeps you imprisoned and tied to little pleasures and joys of life or, not finding these, pushing us to exceed our limits in search of something that is true and lasting and beautiful. To believe that one can find these within the human limits while leading a life given to the satisfaction of desires and surface emotions is the folly of thought we need to rectify. Of course if a person abandons one’s swadharma of a seeker and keeps comparing with those who are happy in their comfort zones is the greatest of miseries since then one misses one’s goal and the true law of one’s life.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It means that it is better to live according to your own inmost impulsion of truth, even if it brings outer failure, than to achieve success by following a way of life that is not in tune with your own inmost truth, even if it brings success. ..

I am unable to understand this said by The Mother. Please explain to me: “You must use everything for the purpose for which it is given, otherwise you commit a crime. I am not speaking merely of physical things. All the inner things that I am giving you all the time, all the strength, light, energy and life that are being poured into you all the time, are meant for the service of the Divine, for the sake of transforming you. If you use them for any other purpose, you are a robber and your crime is the worst possible.” ~ The Mother (CWM 13:183)

It means that all the capacities that we have, – physical, vital, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, should be offered at the Feet of the Divine for His Work and Service. Most of the time however we take these capacities to be …
